I take *everything* that's said in public with a grain of salt. I agree that just because an artist says something doesn't make it true; but that doesn't mean it
has to be a lie, either. I try to practice healthy skepticism and weigh what is said against other things I know (or they've said) to draw conclusions; and then keep in mind that a "conclusion" is the best I can get without being in their skin or, at the very least, being in their immediate circle.
As much as I'd like to know what really happened, I've never expected that we'd be told; or that we'd be able to "figure out" anything by discussing it. But it's obviously on people's minds; and some still find it interesting to discuss. At least, now, there's a place to do that where those who
aren't interested can skip over the whole thing without fear of missing any "news".
I disagree about an artist's ability to create multilayered literature, and speak The Truth at the same time. I believe that's entirely possible through their art and in interviews; but it's a matter of choice.
