Everyone is a tortured soul now. All the cool kids have crippling anxiety.
It’s tough living in Times Like These.
Vaxx might still be a suspect, however...

Beats the alternative.

I can't tell you the number of people I know eho got vaxxed just so they could fly.
Foo who? Can’t name a single tune by them.
I worked security at one of their concerts.
I couldn’t see what the big deal was.
Ever long…. I waited here for you….
It’s pretty good, but what makes it memorable for me is that it has one of the best and funniest music videos of all time. See if you can track it down. Some dude runs into a burning building repeatedly to rescue a baby, a dog, some valuable possessions, etc. — and every room he enters has the Foo Fighters band playing in it. LOL.
How sad.
Condolences to his family and friends.
Great drummer.
For most of 1997 I worked and lived in Manhattan while consulting for a brokerage client. One of my colleagues was, at the time, the girlfriend of one of the band members. I can’t remember which one and it doesn’t matter. She told some wild stories. I’ve probably heard some of their music without realizing it but couldn’t tell you any songs they’ve done.
“Everlong” is a great song.
I know one song from them. That’s about it.
Delayed Sudden Death by The Jab, until proven otherwise. Unfortunately.
On the other hand he WAS a drummer after all. What's the normal life expectancy? Thirty?
Well, you got a point there maybe. Just another one who didn’t outlive Keef?
