It's like people you work with -- I hate interacting with some of the people I work with because they can be very snobbish and rude, condescending, even, yet, when reviewing their work, or working on something they've worked on, I'm glad it's from them because some of the same characteristics that make them so dislikable on a personal level also enable them to be very thorough in their work.
I'm excellent at compartmentalizing stuff like this. Mostly I just don't care what performers or sports stars do in their spare time. If they want to mug old ladies, so be it, that's a legal issue to be dealt with, but man what a great song.

I always find it so fasinating that people are so tolerant of artists, accepting behavior that if you knew the person in real life that you would make efforts to keep away and defriend them. I know that for me whenever I see/hear music from Michael Jackson that I am less than interested in hearing or seeing anything more from the man (I freely admit that I was apathetic about his death, it really meant next to nothing to me since his behavior to this point had already made him dead to me as an artist). I just don't know how people are so able to separate the person from their work, when to me they are so interrelated. I just can't do it.....
