Ultimately depends on whether or not the person is dead and there is no estate carrying on their ideology. Also on whether or not I can mentally disassociate the two.

I ironically started listening to Marty Robbins because hur hur New Vegas Big Iron and started unironically enjoying his Western music. Just a shame I learned he was a racist, sabre-rattling piece of dung who made a song smearing Civil Rights activists and anti-war protestors as dirty commies. That said, he's dead and his Western stuff is so far detached in tone/style from that one song so I can't mentally make the connection.

Now, I just need to mentally block out the realization that maybe a genre rooted in romanticizing/whitewashing an era steeped in genocide and settler-colonialism might be closer to the problem then I realize..
