Do you care if an artist is a d*ck? (show, quote)

Any rock star is a potential ass. Look at what they do for a living, I mean the "rock" image is "it's my way or the highway" basically. But some are pretty swell guys.

I have heard people say they don't like this artist or that artist cause they are to political. Don't matter to me. Though it would be nice if they left their political views at home. The same way the audience does. We go to hear music not politics.

it matters if you go to see them live obviously but apart from that its all about the music

Obviously it's nice when good music is made by good people, but who cares if that's not the case? I mean, you're hardly likely to listen to something you think is **** just because the person making it is nice, so why should it apply the other way around?

I actually have a thing for self-righteous, arrogant a-holes with a god complex. Take MSI for example. Jimmy Urine is a dick, no doubt about it, but I love his stage presence. Most self proclaimed "rock stars" are dicks, and I love it. If I got famous in music I'd be a total raging diva.

I can enjoy and respect good music even if I can't respect the artist.
Like, Chris Brown, for example. I enjoy his music, even after the whole deal with Rhianna. I do not, in any way, respect Chris Brown as a person. But...his music is dope.
