This Is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl | Paul Brannigan

Books I found in the Little Free Library on my walk yesterday arvo before my paddle at the rock pools. The perfect way to finish a Sunday before my first full week back at school for the year.

This Is a Call: The Life and Times of Dave Grohl | Paul Brannigan

Over the last few years, the band The Foo Fighters has jumped to near the top of my favorite bands. I adore lyrics that have layers of meaning, and their songs are just a good example. My favorite: Pretender. Plus, Dave Grohl harkens back to Nirvana, so that‘s a win. I still plan to read this one in 2019, as it fulfills some challenges, and it‘s a perfect fit for #NFNov . It‘s on the older side (pub date in this edition is 2011). #Music #Movember

cathysaid @LibrarianRyan Yes! ‘Walk‘ was my anthem during my divorce a few years ago. “I believe I‘ve waited long enough. / Where do I begin?” Love it. 5y

1. I don‘t really have a favorite...the tagged is the only one I think I own.
2. Foo Fighters and Maroon 5
3. Oh gosh. The Foo at the DCU years ago and probably Maroon 5 at the DCU two years ago (can‘t wait to see them again in October) NKOTBSB was pretty amazing though.
4. 🤔 I usually just listen to an album on repeat or a playlist.

#2 for 2018
This is actually an unauthorized biography which reads more like a history of the American Punk/Grunge/Alternate music scene which comes together nicely to form a rather complex band family tree which facts, quotes and snippets of Grohl's life injected into the narrative. A must read for music fans 🎵🥁🎸🎤🤘

Just now realizing that I‘ve been singing All My Life wrong for years. 🎸 🎤 my rockstar husband wouldn‘t be happy.

DeeLew I love love loved this. I'm a HUGE Foo Fighters fan. I'm trying to figure out how I can go see them live again with no money and no spare time. 😂❤️❤️❤️ 7y

Jen_Reads @DeeLew they are one of those bands who just remains awesome over time. I‘ve seen them twice and they just rocked it both times. 7y

DeeLew @Jen_Reads I have been a fan since the first album. I agree, they remained awesome the whole time. In 2011 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Two weeks later the Wasting Light album came out. I was so terrified at that point, with a bilateral mastectomy looming in the very near future. There was something about that album that spoke to me and I listened to it that whole spring and summer, over and over. The song Walk became my anthem.... 7y

DeeLew Seriously, listen to the lyrics of Walk, and the song These Days. *sigh* 💜💜 To this day, I get emotional when I listen to that album. If I ever meet Dave (my dream!) I have to tell him he got me through cancer. 💕💕 7y

Jen_Reads @DeeLew congratulations on beating cancer ! 💕 It‘s amazing how music can help get you through hard times. 7y

DeeLew Jen_Reads Thank you! Music and books have gotten me through many tough times. 💕 7y

victoriaburstrom @kelseynicburke It's soooo good!💖 8y

kelseynicburke @victoriaburstrom Great biography! I lent it out once and never got it back and I actually went out and bought it again because I couldn't stand not being able to reread it when I wanted to. 8y

victoriaburstrom @kelseynicburke I think I would've done the same if I were you! 8y
