Straight Ally Of The Day: Dave Grohl

FOO FIGHTERS star DAVE GROHL has spoken out to back gay rights.

The rocker told me: “When I was young, growing up in Springfield, Virginia, I was the only rocker in a 25-mile radius. So I felt different my entire life.

“I’ve always felt a connection and compassion to people who felt like they weren’t accepted in general.

“I’m not a religious person, but I honestly believe everyone should have the same rights.

“I believe in progress too – I don’t believe we should live in the Fifties.”

The Sun.

Err, and that's it!

Fagburn thinks this was meant to be a comment about the Indiana hoo-ha, but it's been subbed to buggery so it's impossible to tell.

Anyway, good for Dave!

So brave etc etc...

Have to say it seems pretty unlikely that Grohl was the only rocker in a mid-West town in the 80s. Must have been full of Beavis & Buttheads.

PS Regular viewers may know that Fagburn hates the term 'straight ally', and is using it but to mock vacuous gay media bell-endery.

Foo Fighters: Vs Westboro Baptist Church

So Foo Fighters released another of their homo promos last month, Hot Buns.
So the God-fearing fag-hating Westboro Baptist Church turned up to picket their gig in Kansas City.
So Foo Fighters protested their protest.
So cool.
So Foo you!

• Kevin Smith's new film, Red State, is kinda inspired by Westboro Baptist Church...

Foo Fighters: Hot Buns

Foo Fighters say;
"And a big hello to you all gay truckers out there."
No, it's not a Foo video, when you get to the music it's Body Language by Queen.
Hot Buns is a promo they made for their upcoming North American Tour.
Why?
Fuck knows.
Cause they'll be driving their equipment round in big trucks, or something.
Not the first time the Foos' Dave Grohl has gone gay on film.
Here's the very odd Low with Jack Black - apparently "banned by MTV", but I'm sure I saw it on there once.
And here he is camping it up in the skies in Learn To Fly.
Lovely.
