This is such weird logic. The Foo Fighters are millionaires that have a ton of leeway with what shows they do because they don't really need more money to survive. The guy that frames houses probably isn't working for a morally great company but that dude starves without the job.
And yet the Foo fighters and specifically Dave do benefit concerts raising millions and actually cook and feed disadvantaged people by the thousands. They also do (at last I knew) an annual multi-day trolling of the westboro Baptist church compound, which is a great thing imho.
Now, what is the measure of a man? Is it a sliding scale? Is it just the sums? Sure, that house framer has smaller sins, but does he have a smaller positive impact? Does it matter?
As I said in my last sentence, we're all just arguing degrees.
That's a completely different argument...
