 @014c1672 I couldn't read that article without logging in, but this one from 2019 suggests the band doesn't do it any more https://goat.com.au/health/dave-grohl-and-foo-fighters-show-how-you-walk-back-a-wild-move-like-backing-hiv-deniers/

 @b870d4c8 THis one should be readable. It's quite a story.

 @014c1672 this article seems to say the same thing as the one I linked, that it was something that happened in 2000 and was subsequently left behind. It's just that this article is saying people should not forget it happened.

 @b870d4c8 Sorry, I didn't see your link. The Medium post says at the bottom that it was first published on the other link.

 @014c1672 no, I didn't mean it was literally the same text, just that the factual details are not contested:)
