Really interesting to read peoples opinions on this subject. It started me thinking a bit. Would I stop listening to someones music because they were bad people.. No I don't think I would. I like Claptons stuff for example.
I think people are multi-faceted and however despicible one part of their character is I am not sure it should condemn the rest of the character, generally. There are exceptions, of course. It's difficult to counter balance child abuse with any other good trait. It is much easier to listen to a racists music if you like what they produce (assuming the message isn't racist, of course), than say, forgive Jackson his crimes.. Alleged crimes, I mean.
