Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Bono. U2 is pretty mediocre to begin with, but with that asshole in front singing Id rather listen to Miley Cyrus.

Eh, I used to think like that, there was a time when it was popular to hate on U2. But really there are a lot of legitimate assholes out there who are actively making the world a worse place. His philanthropy is aggressive and attention seeking but the receipts are there and I'd much rather have someone channel all this energy and platform into pro-human rights than anti which is becoming increasingly popular these days.

I'd almost say it's the opposite... U2 is a decent band, but nothing too special. Bono has a strong reputation as a philanthropist doing good for the worlds charities.

I like both Bono and Miley. I actually like both music and their personalities at least the projected personalities. I don't feel like they are trying to hide anything and they seem to want the world good
