Question for y’all:

How much does the personal life and/or belief system of an artist affect your appreciation of that artist?  Will you not listen to artists who are conservative Christians, Republicans, radical leftists, whatever, because you see your fandom as an endorsement of their views? 

I’m especially curious about when there’s a dichotomy between the work and the person — for instance, Daddy Yankee endorsed McCain in the election; I’m not sure his work is all that political one way or another.  (I could be wrong, as I don’t know the full scope of the guy’s work.) 

Did you stop listening to Neil Young because he endorsed Reagan?  Are you pissed at Prince because he’s come down as homophobic, so you’ll never hear his work again? 

Serious question — no judgement.
