    Yeah, I can see how it could be seen that way. I’m thinking more along the lines of “Dave performs for money. Someone wants to pay a lot of money for a special performance, and it doesn’t affect any of his other shows so of course he would do it”. IMO what Dave did isn’t unethical, but I can see how it could be seen that way. But I also think if the article was “Amazon Execs bought a multi million dollar yacht after massive layoffs”, no one would be blaming the yacht manufacturer. Just the execs.

      I already don’t support yacht manufacturers. I own foo fighters albums. There is a massive difference in your example.

        Here’s a better one: If the Amazon execs threw a private party, no one would be blaming the caterers.

        The yacht was a bad example. What I’m getting at is that not hating something is not the same as supporting it. I don’t support Dave doing this, but I don’t hate him for doing it either.

      Perhaps it’s not against Dave Grohl’s ethics but it’s certainly against mine so all I can do is add the Foo Fighters to the ever growing list of people or companies that don’t get my attention or money.

      To be honest I’m thankful all this stuff is out in the open as I’m saving a lot of money.

      I don’t shop on Amazon, don’t use social media, don’t eat McD, don’t buy Foo Fighters albums, don’t watch Will Smith movies, etc.

          He assaulted a man on live TV and later was given an award and never faced any repercussions.

          Also, over shadowed Samuel L Jackson’s night.

        Ah, the piecemeal approach to becoming a hermit. Eventually you’ll just add literally everything to your “failed my purity test” list.

          I don’t know. Macklemore is a pretty stand up guy and will stand by his morals. Plenty of people ain’t selling out and plenty of people stand up for what they believe in.

          Kinda strange all the back lash for my choice here but y’all won’t give the same backlash for FF choice. Double standards much.

            I’m not talking to Dave Grohl, I’m talking to you.

            Don’t expect perfection, or you’ll always be disappointed by people. Macklemore included lol

              I don’t expect perfection. I am not perfect m, merely holding people to a higher standard than some.

              You do you bro and I’ll do me. It’s not that deep.

              Have a wonderful weekend, I know I will.
