Default Musical Disappointments

For any number of reasons artists disappoint us. Tell us.

Soon after that journal entry giving massive props to Kottonmouth Kings for their political beliefs I became aware of an article that credibly painted the main member as a racist who had beef with a black member of a group on his record label where he made a post on social media: "Nothing worse than slaves on the plantation sucking the slave masters Dicks-Free the Kings". Then the guy dissing him went on to accuse him of hanging with neo-Nazis and with that quote... well what the **** am I supposed to think?

I can separate the art from the artist but when someone reps liberal ideas of tolerance and anti-capitalism that hit me in the feels then finding out that one of the members is a racist cocksucker faking it for the sake of creating a fake image kind of ruins at least part of the fun.
