      I wonder when “selling out” or being called a “sell out” stopped being a thing. It happened during my lifetime for sure. Now basically everyone everywhere you look in the music business not only is one, but the public seems to not even consider it an option to not sell out, and I think most people dream of being able to be a sell out themselves so much they pardon others preemptively and almost instinctively.

      But like in this case, Dave Grohl is already a multimillionaire, does he really have to further prostitute himself for Amazon cash?

        It fell victim to the “gig economy”, now it’s less “Selling out” and more “Get that bag”

          🤷 and maybe someone was holding his dog hostage until he performed, but that pic doesn’t look like someone who is having a terrible time fulfilling his label obligations

      Dave is a businessman first and foremost. I wonder how Pat is dealing with this sort of shit.
