And I thought their new single, "Is Someone Getting the Best of You" was about the IRS.

RUSH often wrote politically subversive music but never named names, leaving the listener free to interpret. When artists start spelling out in detail every grievance it's a turnoff, at least to me.

"One of the reasons I did that with the Kerry campaign was because I was personally offended that George Bush was using [the Foo Fighters'] "Times Like These" at his campaign rallies."

Heaven forbid that some do something like blow up the Twin Towers. This self absorbed guy might have a hissy fit. This country is losing it's sense of perspective.

Wasn't he on "Rhoda"?

Grohl do you not realize that socialists have killed more poor people than all the wars combined? They need you in "times like these."

SPIN is good for lots are gnashing of teeth and wailing from Bush-hating musicians, but if I want to read them complaining about right-wingers using their songs, I'd read the latest Springsteen interview in Rolling Stone.

Why does every friggen' band out there have to wear their politics on their sleeve? The Foo Fighters are pretty good. In an era dominated by rap/hip-hop and horrible cookie-cutter punk pop, the Foos are a refreshingly talented, hard rockin' band!

Dave, shut up and play yer guitar! Better yet, shut up and put down yer guitar and go sit behind the drum kit! You're one of the best drummers in rock & roll!

David Grohl of the Foo Fighters: “In Your Honor” a Tribute to John Kerry

Grohl thinks Kerry is worth a tribute? Maybe he should stick to fighting foo.

what the hell is, exactly, a Foo Fighter?

I doubt I have ever listened to any one of their songs. I KNOWINGLY haven't.

I like the Foo Fighters music. Grohl has amazing control of his voice in terms of the scream sing method. He also never learned how to read music and plays by ear.

With the said, its a shame he has decided to join a campaign soley based (from what I read in this article) on the reason that Bush used one of his songs.

What a lame reason to cut 50% of your audience.

Once again, my tag line is proven beyond a doubt (Grohl is a very talented musician, IMO).

it basically mirrored what John Kerry's campaign was trying to represent.

On which day?

Maybe he should rename the album to: "Hopeless Muddle."

Dave Grohl, let me get this straight. You wrote a tribute to this dork?

How about a cover of Beck's "Loser Baby"?

It would behoove all these crybaby leftist ranters to learn a little discretion, especially considering the person that they're all "honoring".

Some day the truth about Kerry's Vietnam Service, his after war activities and everything else is going to come out, maybe not today or tomorrow but eventually Kerry's own hubris will cause a misstep.

All these fools who live to sing his praises will wish they had kept their mouths shut.

I guess he could always issue his albums with a warning label:
"For Democrats Only"

That would be the courageous thing to do. Why would he want just anybody to be able to appreciate his "art"?

I wonder if he can whistle Dixie?

Hey Dave someone must have hid the shotgun shells after the election... good for you - you're still around to cash those big pay checks... bad for everyone else - we have to keep hearing your whine.

Where's the cheese?
