I decided a while back that the way I'm going to handle this sort if thing (as it pertains to Nugent specifically, but ive extrapolated on out) is that I'll continue to enjoy those great songs, but I'm never doing anything that will put any of my money in their pocket. Used records and .mp3's? Sure! Concert tickets? No fucking way.

Should avoid putting people on pedestals because people suck and will often let you down. At the end of the day, there’s other artists out there, and when one or two cross the line just call it a day and move on. It’s particularly hard with art because so much of it is emotional and is naturally something we identify with and attach ourselves to. As others will surely mention, this is a losers game, and I agree, but I feel it’s commendable to stand for what you value, especially when it’s a case of human rights. Sorry for your loss, there will be many more, keep your chin up.

Reply to does anyone know any really good r&b artists and songs?? by miraseuphoria

Anything by the Supremes, Smokey and the Miracles, Stevie Wonder (at least up until the 80's), Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke. Really though, The Supremes are so underrated. I don't think they have a single song that is less than great.

Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You" is one of the greatest R&B albums front to back at a time when R&B was more focused on singles than albums. Highly highly recommend that one.
