Bandits and out laws


For me one of the most lovable rouges there has ever been is Tupac Shakur. His music could be controversial, violent, vicious and use some of the most offensive and derogatory language going, but at the same time he was in touch with a gentler side of himself, the loving partner/ brother and son. He wrote some of the most moving music, and some of the most inspiring poetry i have ever listened to. Dispite his portrayal of the 'Bad boy', gang member persona, every now and then this would slip and the human side of him would emerge. He reminded us that he was one of us, that he felt the same pain and faced the same struggle. This is the art of a lovable rouge- we don't see the bad, we fall in love with the good.
