Why Dave Grohl Doesn’t Believe in Guilty Pleasures

  Reality TV shows, tabloid magazines, Top 40 radio, Barry Manilow? Just don’t ask Dave Grohl what his guilty pleasure is. Why? He doesn’t believe in them.

“If you f*cking like something, like it. That’s what’s wrong with our generation: that residual punk rock guilt, like, ‘You’re not supposed to like that. That’s not f*cking cool.’ Don’t f*cking think it’s not cool to like Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic.’ It is cool to like Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic!’ Why the f*ck not?” —via Wil Wheaton Tumblr

He really doesn’t believe in them, as he emphasized in his SXSW keynote speech last year. And you’ll never guess what other song he likes.

"F*ck guilty pleasure!'" he said. "What about just pleasure? I can honestly say that 'Gangnam Style' is one of my favorite songs of the last 10 years." —via RollingStone.com

So the lesson here is . . . Dave Grohl won’t judge you for liking the Spice Girls, because he does, too.

“2 Become 1” by The Spice Girls. I couldn't get this song out of my head. It's not even a dance song — it's this slow-jam pop-ballad sh*t. Lord, I just love it and I don't know what to do. Do you think I need a shrink?" — via UltimateGuitar.com
