  1. >The Foo Fighters frontman turned 56 years old yesterday (January 14), and seemingly spent the day volunteering in LA, making meals for those left affected by the fires.

    >In footage shared by Feed The Streets Los Angeles on Instagram Stories, the singer and guitarist was seen stirring a large pot of chilli as part of the efforts to provide food for those who have been forced to leave their homes. Another clip showed him pushing containers down the pavement to help.

    >This isn’t the first time that the artist has gotten involved in local charity efforts. Based in the city’s Encino neighbourhood, Grohl has volunteered as part of Feed The Streets in the past too.

    >Last year for instance, he spent his Super Bowl Sunday barbecuing at a homeless shelter in LA, and did the same in 2023, spending 16 hours on the barbecue at the Hope of the Valley rescue mission.

    >In December 2023 he used his day off from Foo Fighters‘ Australia tour to help feed the homeless, volunteering with a Melbourne-based charity. He also stepped up to the barbecue in 2018 to cook for Californian firefighters as a thank you for their tireless efforts in tackling the devastating wildfires which had ravaged the state.

  2. Dave Grohl – can’t get *his* shit together, but helps others get theirs together. I guess it could be worse for him.

    Shitty family man, decent human— Is that possible?

  3. L.A. is such a one industry town. I wonder if locals ever get star struck by all the celebrities or if this is just old hat to them by now. Like they are, “Yeah, that’s Dave. He makes a pretty mean sandwich when needed. But he always forgets to add the napkins in the bag.”

  4. What an absolute disappointment of a human being. He was one of the good ones, except that he wasn’t.

  5. People sure are complex. It’s almost like nobody is all good or all bad.

  7. But let’s all be mad that he cheated on his wife, like almost every other rock star in existence

  12. I misread that as medals at first and was like “I mean, that’s nice I guess, but what good is a medal going to- OH. MEALS.”

  13. Was it meals for all of his secret families? I’ll see myself out.

  14. Did his sex friend get food too? Or just bodily fluids

  18. People like Grohl only do good like this to stay relevant & to appear genuine. You think celebrities just wake up in the morning & think “I’m gonna spend my money & cook food for total strangers today.” Grohl is as genuine as a fake orgasm.

  21. Seems like a great way to help your image and get some new numbers.

  22. Didn’t he gave a secret family whilst cheating on his wife

  23. Yeah the guy cheated on his wife and that wasn’t what the post was even about. FFS cant we all just move on?

  24. That’s really nice of him but WE HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN, DAVE!

  25. Hey just because he can’t keep it in his pants, doesn’t mean he’s a monster. He should just avoid marriages

  27. I got to hang out with him in Hawaii years ago. Just hanging at the pool with him and Jeff Probst, who were together at the place I was staying. He was super chill and all in all, an extremely low key guy to be as famous as he was at the time. Especially when you mirrored the other celeb at that resort during the same time, Adam Levine. What a total and complete fucking douche bag he is. I would take anything he says to a camera as a lie and manufactured to help his image. And this was probably 10 yrs ago, when he was just named as Peoples Sexiest Man. I couldn’t imagine how big of a dirtbag he is now.

  28. I try not to get parasocial but does anyone actually have more detailed information about his marriage? Feel like everyone was casting stones, when they could have had different arrangements, especially given his on the road lifestyle. Its possible that the actual negative here was just not wrapping up or getting snipped at this point.

    If someone actually has concrete evidence that their marriage was monogamous then yeah he’s got problems, Which I know he did cheat on his first wife too. But like I would also imagine he would’ve learned that he needed to find someone who could respect something more open for a second marriage? Idk I guess I’m just also assuming too much as well.

  29. Oh yea piece of shit does one nice thing. Does it make him a slightly better piece of shit? No not really. Still shit.

  30. Well done Dave and Feed the streets organisations.
    He’s done this for years without asking for anything back.
    But of course some righteous people who are sitting on their couch and doing fuck all in this situation, have to tear it down because of his personal life.

  31. For the record, this dude does this all the time. So if you think it’s trying to make up for his mistakes, no. It’s who he’s always been, a helper. What he does in his personal life isn’t our business as long has he isn’t hurting people, enjoy the music. Most of you have friends that are ride or die who did worse than him. Lol

  33. Hey he’s a great guy that just happens to love cream pie-ing women that aren’t his wife

  34. At least he wasn’t making a baby out of wedlock this time.

  35. Thought it was going to say, “Dave Grohl spent birthday making meals for two families”
