The idea of not using his songs comes from the idea that music is the language of the soul.
It comes out of his soul and enters the listeners soul.
That’s the reason that music from an impure place is different than buying shoes from such a person.
(ill GOTTEN money would probably have the same affect)
The reason there is talk about carlBach is because his music seems to express devotion and yearning for purity while some of his behavior was shall we say ”questionable”.
Most of the songs sung today are in a great part seriously frowned upon by most serious rabbanim and people with a sense of purity.
The reason carlbach is a discussion is because his music is so close (at least) to the pure side.
