Not sure how anyone can be surprised that a rock star is unfaithful. 

No kidding.   

I don't understand all the drama and shock and carrying on about this sort of thing.   Feeling disappointed about someone you admire is natural, but I just don't think it's a great idea to buy into the hype the entertainment media puts out about this kind of thing.  And look, I don't mean to piss off or slight anyone by saying any of this.  It's just my two cents.

And also, imagine if someone close to you- like, say, a brother or sister or cousin or best friend of someone who had an affair and it was all over the news and all kinds of people were making a big issue of it.  That would suck.

Maybe they were on a break

haha. I recently saw a video montage of all the times Ross said that. I thought about putting it on a t shirt.

mainly because Dave has always been perceived as the "good guy" of superstars.

uh oh. Foo cancelled their appearance at Soundside this weekend. No reason given. And no comments allowed on the facebook post about it.

DG is still trying to wash the embarrassment off his face! He done screwed up big time

I'm not surprised they cancelled, but that's pretty uncool it happened at such notice.   I'm guessing there's legalities involved with cancelling when you're physically able to perform the show.  That probably delayed the announcement, but that sucks if your a Foo Fighters fan who already setup travel and accommodation to go.

How do we know that they're physically able to perform the show?

yeah so Dave could "earn back the trust of his family"

now how in the fuck do you do that?

My daughters would probably kill me if I did such a thing

Obviously depends on the individuals involved and how the relationship worked and every case and relationship is unique etc

 But occhams razor would point to lifelong resenment from the children.

I still do some occasional book scouting for our used bookstore in town, and today I found a few things that I picked up to sell to them (something you have to do because you love it, not for good money, because a person could make way more money working at a Burger King).  One of the books I found is a very nice used hardback copy of Dave Grohl's The Storyteller. 

Grohl seems like a nice guy and very respectable, but not being a huge Nirvana/Foos/Grohl fan, I figured I'd get a few bucks for it at the store.  But then I sort of glanced through it and thought I might actually like reading it.  So I'm curious what anyone of you that read it think.  Is it something a very casual fan would enjoy, or is this one for hard-core fans only? 

Thanks!

I'm am casual fan and enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook. Dave is my age. I found it fascinating that he mentioned films and bands that I also liked at that age but had almost forgotten.

^ Same, but with hard copy. Thought it was fantastic!

It’s definitely worth reading, Brian. I really enjoyed it.
