I don't agree with his opinion of the music that I've loved all my life
but it doesn't affect my liking of his records one bit?

Why should it?

If we're supposed to disparage the recordings of people who reportedly
held r&b and/or rock 'n' roll in distain then Sinatra would be top of
that list but again I like many of his recordings.

And what about political and/or racial views? Do we relegate Jerry Lee
Lewis and Marty Robbins to name just two to the shit list for their well
known views?

Nah,in the wise words of someone on here I'll stick with "All that
matters is what's coming out...............etc etc"
