He's been publically smeared for decades. The jury's tainted. He's been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion. As with Bill Cosby, I want it to be tried in a court of law.

If it turns out that R. Kelly indeed engaged in sexual activity with an underage teenager on videotape, it's time for him to be locked up.

Here's the question: Many people refused to throw out the music of others because of their behaviors or convictions. There are people who can separate the music from the madness. Can you discard R. Kelly's music, as good as much of it is? It pained me to remove Bill Cosby's music and comedy albums from my collection. Now, I will have to face removing R. Kelly's music, too. This brings another question: If someone is convicted and sent to prison for a crime as disgusting as this, can you listen to that person's music again, knowing they are being punished? Bill Cosby has been steadfastly defiant in prison about his culpability. Can you go back and enjoy "Kindergarten" or "Driving In San Francisco" again?
