great person" depends on what one values is. if you disagree with their politics, way of life, etc it is your personal choice to look the other way,but we don't know these entertainers as genuine persons. I remember back in 1980s when President Reagan wanted to use a song by Bruce Springsteen for his reelection bid and Springsteen said no to him. People on both sides of the campaign credited Springsteen for his resilience to stand up for his music while the others spoke about his audacity to stand up to the president... but did it show us who Springsteen was as a person? who knows...
