Do you care if an artist is a d*ck? (punk, rock)

As much as I enjoy the music and try not to worry about the musicians person lives and personalities, it does bother me if I go to a show and the artist is in any way offensive towards the audience.

Put it this way, Phil Spector has just been found guilty of murder and has allegedly threatened some greats bands at gunpoint down the years, but I'm not going to boycott the Ronettes. The mentally damaged and socially inept always make the best music anyway.
It's all about the music/lyrics, if Kanye West made earth-shatteringly revolutionary stuff I would be more sympathetic; but as it happens his personality is just the icing on the cake of his overwhelming mediocrity. Same goes for Oasis. I mention lyrics because if I'm enraptured by something and the lyrics are offensive to good taste or something I strongly disagree with it'll turn me right off

Cedric and Omar are huge pretentious cocks, but I love their music. So no.

Do artists care if the people listening to their music are *******s? Probably not.
