There are those who can separate the good qualities of a person from the bad, and celebrate and appreciate what good a person brought to the world while,
at least for a moment, putting aside their failings.
Some cannot.
If we had to place every person's evil in the same breath with every good, weigh every masterpiece by every sin, consider war heroes only worthy if they were equally good sons, fathers, and husbands, only deem someone a genius if they showed some flawless genius in their personal and moral lives as well as their field of study, we may consider no one great.
Listen to no Michael Jackson, watch no Woody Allen or Roman Polanski. Read no Oscar Wilde or Horatio Alger (pederasts!). Don't watch "Alice in Wonderland" or read any of Lewis Carroll's works, either:
"Carroll was usually surrounded by an entourage of prepubescent girls. He would write them letters that included puzzles and tricks but they second they got too old for him, usually the onset of puberty, he’d drop them like a bad habit. Yes, much like Michael Jackson’s undying love for young boys, Lewis Carroll loved young girls – but only English girls, American girls were too rude for his tastes and boys were absolutely disgusting nude. Yes, nude. You see, he loved taking pictures of young girls in basements, naked, spread out across a bed and would then go home and write about 'the inclinations of my sinful heart'."

In fact, I recommend you meticulously research the backgrounds of every writer, artist and musician you like, just to be sure you're not honoring the wrong kind of writing, art and music (that is, the kind made by the wrong people with the wrong tendencies). And please, before you pick up a reference source to be certain, make sure the purveyor of said reference is of impeccable moral character themselves, as you wouldn't want to have your research morally flawed.
But then, who will vouch for them? Other purveyors of reference material? My goodness -- there may well be a conspiracy of them and you'd never know it...
But clearly, you have much work ahead of you, so goodbye.
