Anyway, this issue is not that important, and he is still a good role model. If anyone has to take the strict opinion, then, they can avoid the music, but that doesn't mean overall he is not a good role model. And vid shows his stage of life when he avoided music completely, he wasn't different at that time either, except he avoided music.
