I have a relationship with Jedi Mind Tricks that makes me a little uncomfortable. They sound good. I really like their sound but when you listen to their lyrics it is really awful. Lots of anti-gay, hateful and other stuff that is really not what I am about. I have settled into just listening to the music because it sounds good and ignoring the lyrics but it gets hard. I don't worry that the music is going to sway me to that viewpoint... I am not that weak willed. Really I just wonder how others deal with music they enjoy the sound of but feel uncomfortable about the meaning behind.

Courtney Love called them (and Marilyn Manson) out early on for their activities with young female fans

Ouch, that's disappointing. I know about Manson these days but in the early days of Korn, I was still watching Saturday morning cartoons and didn't even know they existed yet. So I missed them getting called out. I guess the moral of this story is, kill your idols.
