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

Ive heard Chris Brown's music and its ****ing Sh1T! (my sister keeps playing it all the time) but I didnt know he was a wife beater.
As for Charles Manson, as much as an animal he is, I have heard he did some recordings when he was in prison & before as well I think. I was actually thinking about checking some of it out recentely but got caught up on other music. But I wouldnt write it off until Ive heard it,
I know I'm probably a 'psycho' for saying this but there is a possibility I could like some of his music.

Also as for 'wife beating' have you seen Lucifer Sam's avatar?

Don't get me wrong, my limits are purely a moral thing. I've heard some of Manson's recordings and they are actually quite good, with a very raw folksy quality about them.

And yeah, Lucifer's avvy is crazaay!

Yeah obviously its interesting if you like an artist to read up on them but obviously couldnt give a **** who theyre married to or whatever.
Sometimes it helps you to understand their lyrics sometimes though.

Really? lol Im gonna go out and buy all his albums just for the sake of it and play them full blast all day and night

.
Yeah well if the guy was a ****ing psycho butchering women you know its understandable but his music could be quite good. I like dark stuff.
When somebody is known to have done such things it would be 'socially unacceptable' to be listening to his music but to me
I dont give a **** & Im actually interested in his music.
To me you must leave 'socially acceptable' & 'popular' behind if you really want to explore music.
