I see that the Foo Fighters just kicked off their UK tour, so it's time to drag out my "Why I Hate Dave Grohl" thread. TL;DR: The Foo Fighters funded AIDS denialist groups from 1999-2007 that lobbied to deny people life-saving medication. They have never acknowledged the deaths they caused.

I never knew any of this but now feel vindicated in my relentlessly taste-based disgust for this outlandishly mid band that emerged from the ashes of a way better band

They may not want to talk about their past mistakes from 20 years ago, but since then they've supported organizations such as Elton John's AIDS Foundation and LIFEbeat.

Goddammit. It’s so hard to like anybody =\ I guess that helps make sense of why he’s kept appearing in videos with Krist Novoselic.

Wow thanks for sharing, I never knew about any of that. Sad how far back science denial goes and how much influence conspiracy theorists can have over the public.
