Dave grohl the storyteller paperback6/12/2023 ![]() From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on.

Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. ![]() The #1 New York Times Bestseller * Named one of Variety's Best Music Books of 2021 * Included in Audible's Best of The Year list * A Business Insider Best Memoirs of 2021 * One of NME's Best Music Books of 2021 ![]()

The castle of otranto6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() But if in the latter species Nature has cramped imagination, she did but take her revenge, having been totally excluded from old Romances. Invention has not been wanting but the great resources of fancy have been dammed up, by a strict adherence to common life. In the former, all was imagination and improbability: in the latter, nature is always intended to be, and sometimes has been, copied with success. It was an attempt to blend the two kinds of Romance, the ancient and the modern. He resigned the performance to the impartial judgement of the public determined to let it perish in obscurity, if disproved nor meaning to avow such a trifle, unless better judges should pronounce that he might own it without blush. As diffidence of his own abilities and the novelty of the attempt, were the sole inducements to assume the disguise, he flatters himself he shall appear excusable. ![]() ![]() But before he opens those motives, it is fit that he should ask pardon of his readers for having offered his work to them under the borrowed personage of a translator. T he favourable manner in which this little piece has been received by the public, calls upon the author to explain the grounds on which he composed it. ![]() |
