How much do youi all care about political the stances of artists?

I long ago decided not to care since I disagreed with so many of them. I figured I'd be spending too much time trying to figure out which movies and songs I was allowed to like based on their political views. I don't have the time or energy for that stuff. I don't agree almost at all with most of what Vedder believes but I still like their sound, adore several of their songs, and think they get shafted in the Nirvana/Pearl jam debates. They are WAY BETTER than Nirvana in my opinion. I love 'em and don't care what they think.

In general though what do you all think?

I think that's an interesting topic, that probably deserves its own thread
