But it’s for the victim. They were violated. That deserves the punishment for the crime. And my brother didn’t get a lighter sentence. He didn’t receive any sentence for his other crime. That’s my point. He’s doing time for one crime that truthfully isn’t even the worst crime he committed. Not even close. But they stopped short of doing the full investigation necessary to unpack and prosecute his worst crimes because they’d already gotten his confession for the first one.

That’s not lighter sentencing. That’s not sentencing for a separate crime at all.

Plus, what if some weird shit happens like what happened with Cosby and he finds his way out of prison later? You prosecute all of it. As separate crimes done to separate victims.

Ironically, she’s on record as hating being typecast as “academic”. She probably just reads a lot and it happens to inform her music, which I think is to her credit in that she isn’t referencing heady things for the sake of being perceived as smart or whatever. There’s a big difference between this versus doing the same thing for ego reasons. Not to mention her music is extremely unique and not a sterile imitation of really anything. She’s cool!

Sabaton's historical knowledge alone could put them all up here imo

But it also depends on what kind of intelligence we're looking for. If we're looking for book smarts, then that would be the aforementioned Sabaton, and Brian May of Queen

If we're looking for Intelligence in experience, then that could be Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden considering how many side quests the guy does alongside being a vocalist

Or maybe musical intelligence? If that's the case, then someone like Jacob Collier absolutely qualifies. Same with pretty much every prog band, Rush and Dream Theater in particular. Hell maybe even Tuomas Holopainen of Nightwish could count for this as well.
