Stop worshiping celebrities. They're just regular fuck-ups like us, but with obscene amounts of money.
Case in point, this article was making the rounds months ago, but people were too busy jerking Grohl off about making fun of Taylor Swift for not performing "live" to take notice.

If that concert had instead been held in the spring of ‘24, against a backdrop of layoffs, pay freezes, and rollbacks of people development programs, it would have been a much different story. A much darker story.
But, to paraphrase Foo Fighters front-man Dave Grohl, here we are.
What I can tell you is that even as executives squeeze and sweat and hound rank-and-file Amazonians to scrimp and save every precious dollar, even as they fire quality performers, stall promotions, and stretch everyone to do more with less, someone found enough money to rent out the Ryman Auditorium and pay the Foo Fighters to play a private show for senior leaders.
Dave Grohl isn't one of us, and playing for Amazon top brass after all this shows how completely out of touch rock stars are with every day life and the lives their fans live.
There goes my hero....
On the one hand, yeah, fuck Amazon.
On the other hand, how much money are we talking? If Amazon paid you a weeks wages for a days work, would you let your principles tell you to tell them to fuck off?
I mean, a lot of people would, sure. But a lot of people wouldn't. And I'm not sure refusing their cash and denying them your particular brand of entertainment is the spit in the face you think it would be.
They're just regular fuck-ups like us, but with obscene amounts of money.
They're much worse than regular people.
Having money, fame or power causes changes in the human brain that reduces the ability to perform empathy. The rich are always at least a little more evil than normal people and if any one of us becomes rich, we'd also be a worse human.
That said, humans fuck and sanctity of marriage is made up nonsense. To paraphrase principal Skinner: No, it's the monogamy that's wrong.
It's part of why I brought up the Amazon thing. I honestly think playing a private show for the obscenely rich while they're forcing their employees to work for crumbs is way way way way more fucked up than just cheating on your spouse, which is completely pedestrian in comparison.
I had been trying to get movement on the Amazon OPS Live story for months but people are so up Grohl's ass they can't see it. This was my window.

Yep, it definitely is!
That was an interesting read, thank you.
