Input: I  sing for a band that was contacted about playing a gig in support of a  teen girl with cancer. The mother had trouble reaching her GoFundMe goal  and cooked up the idea of a concert to raise the balance. Despite not  knowing the family, mutual acquaintances got the band involved.  Especially as my aunt died of the same illness, I was happily on board  to perform without compensation. Two other bands were to be on the bill.

I  didn’t meet with anyone involved until the day prior when my bassist  and I checked out the venue. No issues there. Going by the GoFundMe  page, the girl was out of town receiving treatment for ovarian cancer  that was spreading to other organs. The only discomfort I feared in this  situation was having to come up with something to say to the mother,  who had a good chance of losing a child. The surprises started coming  the moment we arrived. There was a booth with an Arbonne banner. Mom was  happier than a pig in shit, directing people like she was decorating  for a wedding. First thing she does is hug us; second, tell us she’ll be  streaming the performance on her Youtube channel exclusively; third,  introduce us to her daughter, purported to be near death from cancer,  who is playing on the floor with a toddler. Over the course of an  increasingly unbelievable conversation, it comes out that the ovarian  cancer was self-diagnosed and that the treatment the daughter needs is  to come from “specialists, not doctors.”

Of  the many available options people have since reminded us that we had,  the band decided to go ahead and play—as a platform for publicly outing  the mother’s deception. I have since been told that I jumped to  conclusions without seeking the full story, or that I failed to consider  that there were a lot of kids in the audience at 2:00 in the afternoon  when we rage-performed “Anarchy in the U.K.” with lyrics changed to call  out the mother as a total fraud. I admit there were obscenities. It was  the most awkward when we finished. I looked all over for a video camera  to flip off, but didn’t see it. We just packed up our gear quickly and  left giggling from the catharsis.

Now,  not all members of the band and their girlfriends feel this was the best  use of our energies. There is worry we may have opened ourselves to  repercussions, or at least made the most negative choice. I stand by it.  AITA?
