Um, basically i will give most authors/artists a go, regardless of politics or opinions. For me, reading/watching thier material is the only way to form an opinion. Ive enjoyed PJ O'Rourke books as much as Mike Moore.
I am one of those people however who loves to read the background information on the authors or whatever. Its just part of my nature, and probably why i like the internet so much. Say i hear a lyric in a song that intrigues me, i must search out the author and find out what he meant. This makes me an especially knowledgable pop culture geek at parties.
It is tiresome however, when say a fiction writer expresses thier views too strongly through thier work at the expense of the story, because ultimately, thats what keeps me turning the pages.
