When it comes to the music itself? The songs are fantastic.
I don't pay much attention to their lives, and to be honest, I don't listen to all songs by an artist. I learned a long time ago that part of listening to any music means that there will be songs that you don't like either because they're homophobic, misogynistic, classist, able-ist, racist, or a thousand other reasons.
I didn't know that Big and Rich are homophobes; it's been years since I've bought one of their CDs and they've been off of my radar for at least the past three or four years. But now that you've brought it to my attention, I'll look into it.
As for David Allan Coe...I think half the planet knows that he's racist. However, at his prime, he released good material. And while I strongly dislike what he's said and done, I still like the songs. (Dude, The Ride is fantastic.)
