Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy inspired Bon Iver to do something similar with directing a % of royalties towards gender inequality funds.

Interesting story that includes Little Richard, The Beatles, and Elvis.

Good

I never liked his music. Now I also dislike him as a human being.

Have always been on the fence about Wilco and now I know to definitely hate them.

Good for him, giving back to the black community here in Chicago...

I'm not sure what a gender inequality fund or reparations fund even does or how they operate, but it's his money.

Personally I don't mind when people volunteer to spend their own money on things like that. It's when they presume to volunteer mine the problems begin

Exactly what I thought he would look like.

Socialists are the most self loathing frickers on the planet.
