        I suffer from cognitive dissonance on this point.  One the one
hand, it pisses me off to watch celebrities espouse their opinions on
non-musical matters, no matter what their opinions are.  But on the
other hand, I donate to various causes, and if I suddenly became
famous, I wouldn't mind using my fame to draw attention to a cause I
believe in.
        In other words, as a private citizen, I can promote spaying
and neutering of pets, and donate my money and time to those causes
that feel the same way, but if I suddenly come into fame and fortune,
any gift of my time or money is likely going to be publicized, turning
me into exactly the kind of celebrity I'm annoyed by.
