Bad example. You're despising your neighbor, not the music he makes. I see no problem with separating the artist from the art. Maybe I'm just a bit selfish, but I'm not gonna quit listening to Burzum just because Varg Vikerness is murdering neo-nazi. Sure, he's a scumbag, but
Filosofem and
Det Som Engang Var are just too awesome for me to give up.
