What I'm asking is are there any artist that you like but have difficulty enjoying because of their political views. for example, I think that Alec Baldwin is a great actor, but every time I see him all I can think of is his political and personal life.

I'm a huge Beatles fan and have gone to see Paul McCartney live many times. I know that he's very liberal and a big Obama fan but for some reason it doesn't bother me and I don't think about it that much. Maybe it's because he's not as up front about it as some others are.

I know a lot of liberals that can't stand Ted Nugent. I hear them go as far as to say that he's a terrible guitar player.

It's difficult to be neutral with some people and simply enjoy their art.
