Whether you agree with the methodology or not is really not a cause for not listening to someone. If you like it, you like it, end of story.
If you don't understand why people use drugs, that's fine as well, if you don't care for them as people, then that's fine as well, but, solely refusing to listen to something that is beautiful because you don't like what the artist did to get there, well, that's kind of like dismissing art for a reason other than the quality of said art. |
If you use drugs as a basis, you can use sexuality, political views, religion, race, gender, and on and on as a standard for who to listen to and who to not listen to.
Besides, it can be quite difficult finding out who did drugs or not. Do you stop listening to your favorite band when you find out they were on drugs when they recorded three of their albums? Or what if an artist you like doesn't do drugs anymore but did drugs all throughout the 90s, etc.?
