Every artist and every band comes with musical baggage, if you will. Musicians can perform solo, collaborate, work in a band, find tension within a band that leads to separation, and so on. Yet, fans still love their favorites.
Here is where I cross the line though - Puddle of Mudd is not typical of my iTunes playlist. The lyrics and vocals are intense but I personally have found meaning behind the words and so I like the band. However, while doing research about the band, I came across violent and threatening actions by Wes Scantlin against fans while on stage as well as being booed off for lip syncing. I do not condone such behavior and is a huge let down for those who actually like the band's songs.
