Interesting. I wonder how many fans factor in an artist's personal decisions in listening to their music. Thank you for bringing this up.
Springsteen cancelling a show because of state legislature in North Carolina over transgender bathrooms rubbed many people the wrong way.
Jerry Lee Lewis lost some fans when he married his 13 year old first cousin.
I work with a guy that loves any artist that is openly gay. How is that really different from people not buying music by artists that are gay?
Taking the topic into the arena of sports. I'm a fan of the Cleveland Browns but it's tough when the team signs and seemingly supports Deshaun Watson. The dude has over two dozen sexual assault cases and a new case that just came to light. I have a wife and daughters, how can I support a team with no moral compass? It's tough!
Building on Lynette's original post. Has anybody quit listening to an artist because of non music related things?
