While it makes for good trivia, I don't listen to music in the context of the artist's life so it's very easy for me to separate the two. I don't expect artists to be good people, I just expect them to make good art. I avoid supporting them financially by way of buying their music or going to their shows so that I know I'm not sponsoring that kind of behaviour, but I'm still gonna check out the new album if I like the artist.
