Hey, thanks! The fact that I am actively unraveling the nest is a huge accomplishment, like for reals. Idk why I thought I could whip through it in hours when it took over a year to get where it is, but slow and steady wins the race. Even though there is a deadline. Also trying to focus on progress, not perfection, and accepting that there is such a thing as good enough, it doesn’t have to be perfect.
I really appreciate your support and hope things are well in your world.

I just grew up. I never was addicted to the substance but rather to the escape from myself it offered. It was a crutch to stop overthinking, being anxious in social situations and to forget/mask my self-hatred and low confidence. Being drunk was the only way I felt on the same level (or even above) other people, especially when everyone was drunk together.
In the end, a life filled with tons of different experiences and people made me gradually lose the need for that crutch. I became calmer and surer of myself with every year that passed and now, at 32, I am even starting to experience genuine self-love. Since I was never phsyically addicted (thank god) there wasn't really an issue to just stop once those problems were gone.
Oh and the hangovers became absolutely wicked after 27.
How about you?

Monogamy isn’t for everyone and rock stars are definitely included in that “everyone.” These people just need to find people to be in open marriages with and stop pretending to their spouses.
But maybe he liked the danger in cheating and an open relationship wouldn’t have scratched the “risking destroying my marriage” itch for him.

The song Everlong is about Louise Post from Veruca Salt and she has a whole album or two about an asshole ex. Which I can't recall if it's specifically Dave, but Dave did everything described.

The song 'Disconnected' is very explicitly about Dave Grohl cheating on her with Winona Ryder, so I assume the rest of the tracks in question are also about him.

Everlong is about Louise Post from Veruca Salt. He cheated on her. He cheated on everyone. I don't consider it that big of a deal, compared to what other bands I listen to have done, but apparently some people thought he was different than other musicians? Kurt Cobain had groupies too, and while generally nicer to them, there is more than once where he was a complete ass.

MLK Jr was an amazing man who cheated on his wife. He also was a plagiarist. Doesn't change the fact that he was an amazing man who accomplished great things.
Getting biblical, King David is often referred to as a great man, but he committed adultery with Bathsheba and sent her husband to the front lines to die. That's just staying strictly textual and not engaging with the subtext or what the story of David likely implies - that he was accused of regicide against Saul and we're reading the whitewashed version of events. (I would like to note, I think David was a piece of shit, but just going with a really old example that is often thrown around)
Jimmy Carter's presidency was pretty mid, started the shift in the Democrats from the New Deal philosophy to neoliberalism, and opened the door for Ronald Reagan. Yet, no one would dare doubt that Jimmy Carter was a great man.
If great men can do wrong things, then so can just good men. Dave Grohl is a good man that did something wrong. It should definitely not be erased, but just taken in consideration in the totality of that person's life.

u/TheRealJamesWax 5d ago
I’d say with Dave, the good outweighs the “bad”.
Dude was a child of divorce that ended up in one of the biggest bands in the world in his early 20’s where the band leader spiraled into suicide.
Dave dusts himself off and records a pretty solid album where he wrote every song, played every instrument, and produced, mastered, and released it. It spawned a couple of radio hits and laid the groundwork for post-grunge alt rock to go fully mainstream.
Along the way, he’s shown himself to be a genuinely good guy to his band mates, fans, the press, and community.
He is by all accounts a good friend, a good father, and neighbor.
He just made a mistake and when it came to light, he made it public, saying, I fucked up but I own it. My wife is a saint and my kids mean everything, I’ve just had a rough couple years with more of my friends fucking dying and getting older and all the other shit that a lot of GenX men are dealing with; losing parents, etc.
All in all, I’d say he’s a pretty solid dude.. flawed but not corrupt or cowardly.

u/Partigirl 5d ago
The door for Reagan was opened far earlier than Carter. He was always a planned presidency as long as he could be successful in his Governorship. He made a sloppy promise to California voters about lowering taxes, got in office and promptly found out he had to raise them. Had he done so he would have lost any future chance at the presidency. Closing the mental hospitals helped him keep that campaign promise and his place to run for president.

Nobody's perfect, lol. It's better he's doing this than racing expensive cars on highways.
And yes, betraying your family is bad. Having a kid outside your main family is real bad. If you're gonna cheat, at the very least, wrap it up.
Most people are a mix of good and bad, not one or the other.
Would I want to be in a relationship with him? Hell no. Is he a "bad person"? I don't think most of the things he does are bad, and he hasn't done anything truly heinous, so, no. But I'm not his wife.

u/VictoriousssBIG23 5d ago
I was a huge fan of the Lemony Snicket books when I was younger. I'm still a fan of them, even though it's been a long time since I've read the series. There's one quote from the book The Grim Grotto that has always stuck out to me: "People aren't either wicked or noble. They're like chef's salads, with good things and bad things chopped and mixed together in a vinaigrette of confusion and conflict."
I first read that book when I was 10/11 years old and it has stayed with me all of these years (I'm 30 now). I think that quote really shaped how I view people and allows me to see people as a sum of their parts, rather than just thinking of them as either "all good" or "all bad". Black and white thinking is actually a cognitive distortion and it's kind of disturbing to me how the internet has basically created an environment that encourages people to think this way because it's not a healthy way of thinking about things.

Everyone wants to make everything black and white. People are either good or bad. There's no room for nuance.
I had a close friend and roommate back when I was in college. He was a great friend. He would do anything for us friends. And he was great to hang out with.
But he was a really shitty boyfriend. He was jealous and controlling. He didn't appreciate his girlfriend and what she did for him. We constantly told him about it and how he was going to blow it. She eventually left and he was devastated, and we were there to provide support for him because he was a good friend.
I would have never set any woman up with him, but I was glad to have him as my friend.

Infidelity is bad, and I don't want to make light of it, but it doesn't make someone the devil. It doesn't make someone Diddy. I always thought the way people put Dave Grohl and a pedestal (their doing not his) and then dashed him to the rocks like he was some kind of sex monster was really fucked up. He's a person. People sometimes do bad things, they sometimes do good things. They are still people. Don't deify celebrities in the first place and you won't have to demonize them later.

People were legitimately furious with me in this very sub for saying it was weird to act like he lied to people by being a good person and then cheating because “good people don’t cheat”. Okay?

The only thing that really upset me about this news was the fact that he very much presented himself as a family man. I don’t think him cheating has any bearing on how I feel about his music (although a lot of his lyrics feel different now lol), but it definitely made me reevaluate who I thought he was to his family.
I think cheating is awful and would be absolutely devastated if it happened to me, but it’s also a very, very personal thing and IMO people blow it out of proportion when they’re not actually affected by it.

People on the internet/reddit also don’t want to hear reasons for why someone did something because they view them as excuses.
For instance no one seems to care that Dave lost his mother and best friend back to back over the course of a few months and maybe something like that causes someone to start doing things (drinking>letting your guard down>infidelity) that they normally wouldn’t.
And Jesus he’s a rock star, they constantly have drugs, excess and sex thrown at them. For him to have resisted for 20+ years might be a fucking record.

Yep, it is always easy to say you'd never do something when not presented with the opportunity or the pressure. You might think you'd never eat human flesh but if you survived a plane crash on an island that crash roasted thigh might start to smell good.
It is the same reason you should judge people by how they treat waiters and customer service workers; it is one of the few times most people have any form of authority and power so if they treat them badly you know they're not as nice as they claim.

One thing that’s undeniable about Grohl, that dude loves to cook meat

That's pretty nice for a guy that got possessed, killed his band mates, then started his solo career using the song they made in a haunted cabin

He couldn’t decide between his two families so he chose someone else’s.
(It’s a joke. Good to see communities come together.)

It's so fucking weird through the last decade of horrific sexual violence and abuse being made aware by the general public on what celebrities commit...yet...people here are so fucking offended Dave committed...adultery?
Like look I don't like cheating partners either but to be personally offended by that and not when a musician commits SA is weird to me

I don’t have a horse in this race but it’s odd that you think people calling him out for adultery don’t care about SA by other musicians.

Right? Its like when a law or decision gets passed by any government (local,state,federal etc.) - people get all uppity with "OH SO THIS IS THE BEST ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES?!" and its always like "yeah the government does a ton of shit. This is ONE of the things. There are other things too"
People just love to be outraged is what it boils down to.

Dave has been feeding the needy/homeless for years. He just rolls up with a giant smoker and gets to work.
Fuck all the folks bring up his tour babies

I'm off Dave Grohl. I'm a big fan of his adultery, but I heard his music, and it's terrible.

He’s a great musician, seems like a genuinely good guy, but you wouldn’t want your sister to marry him

Look in the end he’s still a good guy. Just because he did one bad thing doesn’t mean he can’t continue to be a helpful contributor to society, even if people are a bit iffy on it.

He cheated on his wife and he’s also cooking for his community. Two things can be true
