Problem is musicians and actors etc often try to make political statements through their art, which makes them "serious" as they carry more weight than just an ordinary Joe Blogs. What is also a worry is that they can say any un-substantiated bull** they want and the other side has no right to reply on an equal footing.
I think there is a lot of peoples fear of the unknown being utilised by some to get what they want no matter the logic or fairness of the issue.
