not saying I agree/disagree; I don't care either way. But I've heard that perspective.
I could see a group of friends getting together and doing something similar privately. Nice gesture. The public nature of it struck me weird. That one of the beneficiaries was never embarrassed by it.
First, that people have not met before. Second, that none of the beneficiaries were embarrassed by it, or at least by the public nature of the community saying thank you for things that were just part of who that person is/how they act.
Do you know either of these assumptions to be true? (I can say that at least in some instances, they are not.)
My opinion is that it is a kind gesture of people giving, of their own free will, to a fellow fan.
Of course, as a participant I guess I'm biased.

Any update Jeremy?
I'm checking in daily crossing everything that you get your goods. I'm also trying to get an update for you with no luck so far.
I hear what you say on this happening before also, and does make things so much worse0 -
Some of y'all shit on the Holy Grail thing. No one forced anyone to do it. I liked the idea because the names of the people I recognize, or have actually met, were doing good in some form on here.
I've never been chosen for one but have been a recipient of 2 behind the scenes things that I was never expecting.. Stuff like that still goes on and I love it when the community gets together.0 -

You hit the nail on the head---it's about community. It's not a damn ponzi scheme. Is it possible for people to simply do something nice for others without being judged for it?I LOVE MUSIC.
