I think you can genuinely be all of that and still get some side booty once every 20 years.

Your average non-rock underground family person doesn't believe this, do they?

I dunno, but I put that past my gf in a text and she's left me on read.

Aw man I do think as you get older it's harder to be uptight about some minor infidelity. Big deal. So long as you weren't so stupid as to be going around fathering children or potentially spreading around the HIV you used to believe wasn't real. And anybody who thinks they know enough about Kim & Thirsty's marriage to be assigning blame is a fool. You don't know how it is between people. But was it really worth breaking up Sonic Youth over? Or selling the house or whatever.

It all just points to Dave Grohl being a bit of a dumbass.

The wild thing about the AIDS denialism is that I knew this, decades ago, because I have Jon Safran's Music Jamboree on DVD. But I somehow forgot, and just internalised it I guess. Dumbasses.

Maybe that was when any positive inclination I may have felt towards Foo Fighters ended. If they just maybe had left it as that one record that was all Dave Grohl on his own, like a one-and-done thing like it was originally meant to be. That early stuff had a certain naive charm to it, like Ringo doing a song. As soon as he got a touring band together it started to rub me up wrong and now them and Pearl Jam are like Pink Floyd and the Eagles in the 90s.

Are you saying that’s who is kerfuffled about this? Not trying to argue just clarify what you mean.

I’m sure everyone here is devastated </s> but apparently this question is relevant again.

Tim Heidecker's comment on the post was glorious.

It's an odd situation in that whoever fills the position surely knows they're the second-best rock drummer in the band. I suppose they can at least console themselves that they're not the worst songwriter.

Forever downside, he played those songs for two years straight.
