While some billionaire pop stars admit to performing with covid, or infect thousands because of lack of precautions, others do the right thing and speak up about the problems and risks related to touring in an ongoing pandemic.

    Glass Beach’s William White

    Saved you a click.

    Not sure about “rockstar” though, as I’ve never heard of them. I’m probably just out of touch though.

      Rockstar doing quite a bit of heavy lifting here but I guess he’s closer than any of us. Glass Beach has around 500k monthly listeners on Spotify - nothing to sneeze at, but hardly making the zeitgeist.

        Yeah, that’s what I’m thinking. I’m sure they’re a popular band, but “star” to me implies a pretty broad level of recognition among people who follow an art. It’s all just semantics though and I’m mostly being cheeky.
