I was eight years old when Nirvana released Nevermind. Obviously, I wasn’t in their target demo. But when I discovered them a few years later at age 12, I was hooked. My friends Kristin, Kristen, (yep 2 but with different spellings) and I would channel the band during any free choreography in our modern dance class (much to our teacher’s dismay). I was always Dave, air drumming and headbanging my 7th grade heart out.
When the first Foo Fighters album came out, I immediately got my mom to drop me at Record Town (the cd shop at the mall - I’m old!) to buy a copy. All this to say, I’ve loved Dave Grohl for most of my life. But this book made me love him even more.
Dave tells great stories about discovering his passion for music, experiencing Nirvana’s meteoric rise, the grief of loss, how the Foo Fighters came to be, meeting his heroes, and fatherhood. I listened to this on audio, which I highly recommend. Dave’s love and passion come through as he reads.
I loved it! All the stars! (And, if you’ve never seen them, the Foo Fighters put on an awesome live show. Definitely recommend).
