If I went through my music collection and filtered out everything by artists who turned out to be dickheads I fear I wouldn't have much left. And I expect that would apply to a lot of other collections as well.

Think We're talking about wrong uns rather than dickheads.
I work at 2 or 3 music festivals a year as part of my job and get to meet the artists you generally find that it's actually their managers that are idiots not the performers.

Gilso will know better, but a few of the early rockers were well dodgy. Chuck Berry was a rapey one too, I believe.
Nobody mentioned Jonathan King yet. Eurgh.
