It's kind of odd, isn't it, how some artists largely escape censure by the media for illegal things they have done and others are viewed as untouchable.
Chuck Berry and David Bowie seem to be regarded as above criticism. Unlike Berry, Bowie was never convicted for anything but it is well known that he abused illegal drugs and hooked up with under-age groupies.

She actually dares to mention Chuck Berry's crimes. And points out several artistes not mentioned or played by the BBC. Chuck got more BBC airplay when he died in one day than I've had in 17 years!
