Would I refuse to see his movie? Not if it's a good movie, although I probably wouldn't go see a Tom Cruise move because although I enjoyed Rainman immensely he just bugs the fug out of me these days.

Personally I would like it a whole lot better if singers and actors just stuck to that, but they have freedom of speech rights too.

Personally if I was to boycott a musician it would be Ted Nugent. I saw him once and enjoyed the concert, but that was before I knew he was into trophy hunting. Hunting for food is one thing. Hunting just for a rack is another and that repulses me.

Oh--I didn't see that Mel Gibson torture-fest. Had no interest.
