I quit a company for this. We wouldn’t give our star performers raises, but they somehow managed to pull off a 7 million dollar one week party for the whole company. It would’ve been something like 100k per employee had they just handed out bonuses.
We lost a wave of talent after that and their stock dropped 80%. I’m glad I cashed out when I did.
Ya… being paid to perform isn’t immoral. Honestly, I hope he took a ton of cash from Amazon for the show.
Amazon is the crowd doing evil crap. Their immorality doesn’t automatically spread to everyone they interact with. Especially, people that aren’t actually aiding their efforts. This one is corporate waste
My guess is that the argument is that participating in society does not equal endorsement of the system we live in. This is how musicians make money. By playing music to who pays for it.
That said, I myself am of two minds about them taking the money.
He’s not your average guy working to put food on the table lol. For someone of his status, his image being hurt from this is far more expensive than whatever they’re paying them for.
Dave is making money. Don’t blame him.

Tf kinda brain dead excuse is this?
Acting immorally is okay if you’re making money?
This is truly mind-obliterating stupidity.

I’d say you need a better grip on reality, but that would imply you had one to start with

It would be easy for the Foo Fighters to not take that gig. They’re doing fine either way.
It’s also possible for musicians to take a stand for change.

It absolutely does equal endorsement.
I’ll make my life harder to avoid companies and people I don’t support.
Have a fucking backbone and stand up for what you believe in. Why should we contribute to the things we abhor?
Do you think you it’s justified perform for these people if they getting paid?
7 million could’ve paid 100k per employee? Impressive for a 70 person company to host such an expensive party then.
Er…shit…was off by half…it was 50k an employee.
