The Dixie Chicks were a good example of musicians destroying their career over politics. The majority of country music listeners are conservative. I'm a country music fan and even to this day, I immediately change the channel when one of their songs come on - which fortunately is much less frequently as they haven't had a hit in a long time.

I don't know anything about the music of Kanye West. I literally had to Google him when this controversy broke to find out who he even was. I then linked to one of his YouTube music videos and 45 seconds was all I could stand of it.

I wish him well and I appreciate his support of the president but I think he's doing it more for personal reasons than political reasons (he was evidently friends with Trump before he even got into politics). So he might be getting a bad rap here (pardon the pun). If I could tolerate his music, I'd listen to it to support him but sorry, I cannot stand it!

Entertainers and business people should really stay out of politics. One way or another, you are going to piss off around 50 percent of your potential customers if you take your politics to work with you. Why would you do that?
