I'm not a lifetime fan or anything and only like a few of their tunes, but overall I like them based on what I've heard. I never could understand why people have to jade their views of bands based on the politics of the band or what the lead singer (or other members) do or say.
It's about the music, to me anyways. I couldn't care less what the actual members do or say in real life. I listen to bands for the music only, not their agendas.
