    I love Arcade Fire’s music through Reflektor, but Win Butler would’ve been high up there on my list of people who would be most likely to be accused of this. Just a tremendous asshole and insanely awkward person when you watch him interact with people at his concerts.

    Will, who seems to be a devout person, leaving the band, probably was a tip-off that something happened.

    Seems like at least 3 of the 4 accusations are similar to Aziz Ansari's - I was younger (but an adult), there was a power differential, I came to regret it - but when you've been leading a holier-than-thou band for more than a decade, that's enough to completely derail your career. Is this the first #metoo where the guy's wife says "it was OK for him to have sex with groupies"? (and she's in the band, so she was on the road with him!)

    First heard about it yesterday when Dan Patrick didn't do the typical Friday thing with AF, and mentioned the issues.

    Consecutive terms, not concurrent = 30 years.
