Thursday Oct 06, 2022
“There are no second acts in American lives,” according to F. Scott Fitzgerald. Dave Grohl begs to differ. After the passing of Kurt Cobain ended Nirvana, Grohl started the Foo Fighters. 25 years later, his “second act” joined his first in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame. Bill & Tony return for a chat about ‘The Colour and The Shape’ by Foo Fighters. We invite you to join us for our conversation about the first full band release of arguably the most important rock band of the past 25 years
