Yeah thats where the characterisation part comes in, obviously you can only judge music by the actual music itself & not what youve heard about the person who made it.

Of course for me there are limits, I refuse to listen to anyone who has taken a life for beat a woman senseless (so no Charles Manson or Chris Brown)  |
Yeah this is totally spot on mate, all I was getting at was people who hear this or that about a certain artist and then write them off without even hearing their music yet.
Ive heard Chris Brown's music and its ****ing Sh1T! (my sister keeps playing it all the time) but I didnt know he was a wife beater.
As for Charles Manson, as much as an animal he is, I have heard he did some recordings when he was in prison & before as well I think. I was actually thinking about checking some of it out recentely but got caught up on other music. But I wouldnt write it off until Ive heard it,
I know I'm probably a 'psycho' for saying this but there is a possibility I could like some of his music.
Also as for 'wife beating' have you seen Lucifer Sam's avatar?
