      Uber Driver “My Hero” was released in 1998, 5 years after Kurt’s death. Idk when the song was actually written, but there is definitely some influence of it either directly or indirectly. You can’t tell me the drummer of the biggest band in the entire world, writes releases a song 5 years after the frontman/friend of that same band died and it had no influence whatsoever on how he wrote this song?

    I had just met a guy that was burned 75% of his body including his face. Spent a week with him guiding him in Alaska fly fishing. At the end of our week I noticed that I didn’t even see the injuries anymore. He tried to live a normal life and never complained. After he left camp I heard this song and knew what the song meant to me. P.S. a few years later his wife called me and told me that he had died but she wanted me to know that the week he spent with me was one of the highlights of his life. Little did she know that he was one of the highlights of my life I have never forgotten him.

    Rest in peace taylor Hawkins, honestly one of the worst mornings of my life, Taylor’s style of drumming was a primary influence into my life and musical taste and playing, his attitude throughout his life was something that I aspire to reproduce, the way he always appeared like a light in a dark room, my condolences to the family friends and the music world

Because the viewer converts it automatically to something to identify it. My hero can be anything you claim but when people remember hearing the devastating news of the last great rock singer dying tragically and then hearing a pretty song about "my hero" sung by one of Kurt's favorite people in the world... The world doesn't need any explanation and we mourn for Kurt and that void that has yet again opened up. Make it about the ice cream man... Sure... Whatever...

    It's weird to hear them talk about Kurt to him now, I guess it was still kinda fresh at that point. It really is a testament to how great Dave is as a musician where he seems to have transcended the whole Nirvana/Cobain thing despite how massive that was. When you hear the name "Dave Grohl" nowadays you're probably more likely to think of Foo Fighters than Nirvana, which to me is amazing. I can't think of any other musician who came from a massive band on the same level as Nirvana into another one and managed to shake off the image of the first.

      Who's the founder of megadeth? His fallout with Metallica was big and he is known for megadeth.

      Only one that comes to mind to me is maybe Lennon with the Beatles or maybe Fogerty with CCR. Nobody however has came from a band as massive as Nirvana and then went on to create a staying power band as big as Foo Fighters that has remained relevant for almost 25 years now and counting. Nothing absolutely short of amazing!

      Try the band members of New Order who were once part of Joy Division after their singer committed suicide

    This was really the song (THIS version, to be exact) that got me into Foo Fighters, which led me to discover Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana and more. I’ve been on a grunge binge for the last 6 months because of this song!

    1.) Dave is the only guy that can pull off those sideburns.
    2.) Did cousin Eddie give those shoes to Taylor?
