![]() Grohl also writes with equal fervor about his path from “that guy from Nirvana” to the leader of the uber-famous Foo Fighters and his parenting experiences. The sudden loss of his friend Kurt Cobain and the loss of a lifelong best friend years later are emotionally and beautifully rendered. Nirvana’s catapulted fame just urged him on as he encountered the thrills and drawbacks of too much of a good thing. From his grubby, mischievous, injury-laden upbringing in Washington, D.C.’s Virginia suburbs to playing drums and touring with punk band Scream at age 18, Grohl breathed, slept, and consumed rock music even when the meager rewards were not enough to get the tour van to the next city. Grohl’s career in music, put to paper in this kinetic autobiography, has also been life-changing on the same two scales. Grohl describes seeing the video for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on MTV in 1991 as “an event that changed not only my life, but the world of music at that time.” No words could be more understated. ![]()
