I started thinking about this when reading the political thread.

Do you find yourself thinking about Michael Jackson's allegued child molestation charges and hanging his baby from a balcony when deciding to buy his music or not? And do his actions and the allegations sway you not to buy his music?

What about musicians accused of rape/murder/drug dealing/etc.?

So, do all these factors influence whether you buy something of theirs or not? And if not, what action/allegation would be the turning point for you to stop buying the music?

No, it has more to do with how much his music has sucked for the last 20 years.

I refuse to buy an R. Kelly CD until he stops peeing on people.

Nope, don't even think about it.

Never thought about it. I'm not a very judgemental person anyway.

Drug dealing probably wouldn't stop me. Rape and murder may.
