Dave Grohl Opens Up About Kurt Cobain And Coping With His Death
Daniel Cobb
People Magazine reports that Dave Grohl spent years hiding from the music that he made with Cobain. "It used to be that years ago that I would hear a Nirvana song on the radio and turn the channel," he said. "I don't do that anymore. I'll go driving with my kids in the car and they'll put on Nirvana. ... We don't really sit around the house, talking about Nirvana all day long, but every once in a while, they'll ask me questions and I'll explain that life to them."
In his book "The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music," released this month, Grohl touches on that time in his life. "I was basically a gypsy with a drum set and a duffel bag who wound up living with these two strangers in these squalid apartments, wondering if I'd made the right decision," he explains. "But when we went to the rehearsal space and started playing, it was pretty clear that we were all there for a reason. I think our greatest hope was that we'd have enough money to get an apartment and food to eat," he added of his chaotic younger years.
