I will never understand why a musical artist's personal politics has anything to do with listening to their music - especially when you consider the catalog of incredible music you have to exclude because somebody's values don't line up with yours.

You, seriously, can't sit down and have a beer and listen to 'Racing In The Street' or 'The Rising' anymore because he stumped for a political candidate you didn't like? IMHO life's too short to carry around that kind of hate and deny yourself one of life's small pleasures.

I think Ted Nugent is a complete fool if I judge him on his personal politics. But I will crank 'Cat Scratch Fever' to 10 when I hear it

"Trust the art , not the artist" , somebody once said.

I listen to music of those I don't agree with. I do not support them though. I don't think I've bought music in about 30 years. When did the Division Bell come out?

I don't shop at Dick's Sporting Goods. I don't but Nike products. Ect...
