Easily the least rock and roll thing a rock star can do is take a big check to play a private show for a wealthy corporation lmao.

I remember seeing: Nick Cave is an artist.

I think I finally got what that is supposed to mean.

But is that statement even true lol

What would be extremely rock and roll-- punk rock, even – is donating all of the proceeds from that show to pro-union efforts.

#DonateItDave, or something

Blood money put to good use is still a karmic negative. Amazon dehumanizes people. Israel dehumanizes people. At some point the excuses aren’t enough anymore.

Right? Dave has always been a very sneaky raging narcissist. I’m glad he’s finally showing his true self.

Yes, he absolutly has. He’s treated a couple friends of mine that work at a local amphitheater like shit. I’ve heard a lot about him otherwise, here and there. He just has a really good PR team.
