I will always love Stevie's music, but my adoration pretty much stops there.

she probably had no clue who he is, you can't jump on her there. i shook hands with people who i later heard stuff about that made me regret that, i would never had that type of contact with them if i knew. Cyndi is extremely political and very vocal about it, yet there are her pics with him.
that said, if you are invested in certain entertainer the way many people here are, their views may be a part of the package for you and it may be different than if you are just a casual fan. and if you get to know some of these people, you may be unpleasantly surprised about how little they know or how ignorant they can be. they are just people, even if they are in the public eye and paid way too much for what they do.
