Dave Grohl Podcast


Dave Grohl, from Foo Fighters, is interviewed and several songs from their new album is played on the air. I enjoy older Foo Fighters songs, as well as listened to Nirvana in my teen years, but was not crazy about the last Foo Fighters album. Liking some of the songs played on the 'Fresh Air' Podcast, from the new album, I also learned alot of new things about Dave Grohl himself. A multi-talented musician, artist, and poet he is and, as I highly believe in music as an inspirational tool, I think Dave had much to contribute to this art form and has changed many lives. I thought it was great how those miners were near-death and requested their music to get them through their frightening experience. Dave explains how he overcame much pain and many struggles to eventually make it big doing something he absolutely loved. Exposing his child to music at a young age is smart--he sings familiar words for her to sing along to, trying to divert her attention away from the television and into a more unique learning experience through song. In conclusion, Dave Grohl reminded me to keep using music as an inspiring resource and always aim high in your life's goals and dreams.
