Songwriter/composer you love their music, but the person is a total asshole?

I can think of two right off the bat.

Gary Glitter

Richard Wagner

1. Wagner is one of those for me as well

Oh- And Siouxsie Sioux. I apologize for the language, but she is a horrible bitch.

3. What has she said/done that is nasty?

Gary Glitter-Great tunes.
But he likes having sex with little girls in Asia.

Wagner-Magnificent music.
But he was a royalty-worshipping Nazi, long before the Nazis existed.

4. I had the misfortune of meeting her several years ago

1991, I believe. She was very self important, snotty, and abusive. I unfortunately had to serve her in a restaurant. And I never let on that I was the huge fan of her music that I was. I simply served her as professionally as I could.

2. How could anyone stay mad at this kind of talent?

5. Burzum...he's serving thirty years for murder and burning down a couple of churches.

But his music is right up my alley. :crazy:

6. Well.... there are a handful of Ted Nugent songs I can listen to without puking.

Oddly enough, most of them were the ones that Ted didn't sing or (presumably) write the lyrics to.
