Eh, all he did was accept money to do exactly what he does: play a concert. Now if he canceled other concerts just for this, that would be a different story IMO. The Amazon execs would just buy a yacht or something instead if Dave declined.
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.
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.
I’m disappointed in Dave grohl
They drove a dump truck full of money up to my house! I’m not made of stone!
Tbf it’s not like grohl needs the cash is it

Ah the ol’ “If I didn’t accept the money to do something unethical, then someone else would have done it.” argument.

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