And to think I used to be a huge fan of this guy.

"And to think I used to be a huge fan of this guy."

So was I. And then I turned 15.

I used to be a fan too. Even saw him in concert in El Paso back in the mid-70s when I was stationed in New Mexico in the Air Force.

It's possible to like someone's music and ignore their politics.

I don't listen to much music anymore but I never chose my artists by their politics. Back when Elton John was popular, I wouldn't have even known his politics and didn't care. I liked his music.

I love Willie Nelson. But he's a liberal. So what am I supposed to do, ignore his music in favor of disliking his politics? No.

One doesn't need to pick their favorite musicians and their music by their politics. They should pick them for their music abilities and ignore their politics.

I very much liked his Caribou album so many years ago. After that? Meh. I haven’t listened to anything of his...on purpose...for decades.

He was much better in the closet.
