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.

Depends on the Zappa song, some are great while others make you wish he'd just shut up and play his guitar.

Examples: Catholic Girls while great music the lyrics make one sick. Meanwhile Camarillo Brillo and Joe's Garage great (though the cover art for Joe's Garage, much less so (Frank really enjoyed being a shock jock and pushing at what could be said)).
