Pat Boone and Lawrence Welk had their own demons don't count them out of the suspect list.

The gang was discussing whether or not they should play R. Kelley songs if he's convicted of child pornography and whatever else he's charged with. They then went on to discuss others whose music they do play, including Bobby Brown (drugs, speeding, child support, all seen as "minor"), James Brown (spousal abuse, discharge of firearm, fleeing police), Rick James (imprisonment, abuse of that lady he burned with a cig), Michael Jackson (not convicted, but guilty in many minds). Interesting conversation, and not, for once, something you can put only on Black people. The likes of Hank Williams, JR., Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the modern so-called "bad boys" have histories replete with drug abuse, theft/embezzlement, violence, etc. Hmm, maybe Jay is right: if we didn't play music by criminals or nuts, we'd probably be left with Pat Boone and Lawrence Welk tunes!
