There's something to be said for the question of if one can separate the art from the artist. There's a lot of debate about it in the realm of culture theory.

That said, I've been on stage in Germany when Neo-Nazis tried to enter the venue to attend the show. The looks of legitimate distress on the attendees faces are something I won't forget. Personally, I find it really hard to separate art from artist and artist from political alignment.
