Name An Artist for Whom You Love Their Politics But Hate Their Work
For me, it's Rob Thomas:



I saw him on Bill Maher once, and I agreed with everything that he said. He was really great. However, I cannot stand his music. It's atrocious. Love his politics. Hate his music.

1. John Denver is the first that comes to mind--with a couple of exceptions, his music annoyed me

but he seemed like a real decent guy who genuinely cared about the planet and the people on it.

2. Moby. He's vegan, he seems like a great guy, but his music makes the baby Jesus cry.

7. I do have to say it's a good question. Since for so long we have
heard the reverse of it. But, I can't really think of anybody. But then I don't really know who anybody is in show biz or in the art world anymore, anyway. So.

8. Meryl Streep, as liberal as they get, but she is a hammy hackneyed actress
never gave a decent performance, always dishonest performances.

10. Bon Jovi
I understand that he's a solid Democrat and involved with progressive causes, but bad bubblegum hair metal is still bad bubblegum hair metal, in the 80's or the 00's.
