One thing that I think is funny is when people who I never cared for start talking politics and society, and I agree with them and suddenly like them. Roseanne Barr for one. Never liked her, her show(s), her comedy. But then I see her twitter page. I agree with her almost 100% of the time. Actor James Woods too. Really didn't ever notice anything from his career. Then I see his twitter page, and I'm all in. Rob Lowe too. He's right on IMO. Suddenly I'm willing to watch things he is on out of some bizarre loyalty. That I would never have watched before seeing his views. I am enjoying the new X-Files episodes but it's really really hard for me. I cringe when I hear Gillian Anderson talk about anything. She sounds so uninformed.

It can work the opposite direction too. Threw all my Springsteen albums out long ago. Saw him 100's of times. Born and bred in Jersey. Can't listen to him anymore.

I'm not saying this is a good thing.
I recently watched a documentary about Vietnam. I had not realized that
Donald Sutherland was right in there as bad as Jane Fonda. I will never feel the same about him. How did he not get tainted like Jane or was I just oblivious?
