I don't care about his politics either; although trashing wide swaths of Americans (who buy his music) strictly because of where they live is pretty unappealing. What I do care about is that he uses his fame/success as leverage to try to get other artists banned (from being heard) that disagree with him. I cannot imagine anyone supporting (or even not caring about) that. Simply relegating attempts to silence others to his "politics" is like dismissing a KKK rally burning a cross in someone else's yard because they wore nice percale sheets. Imagine if...say Paul McCartney or Elvis Presley had worked to silence him back before he was rich and famous. He might be selling shoes at JC Penney's today (and we would be deprived of his music).
