If any rock star is going to have a TV show, thank goodness good it's Dave Grohl. He’s smart, honest, funny, humble and a rock star through and through. He’s also pretty much the most likeable guy in music.
That’s why HBO is airing the Foo Fighters main man's "Sonic Highways" eight-episode series, a spin-off of his 2013 "Sound City" rockumentary that he has described as "a love letter to the history of American music."
The show is pegged to the Foos eighth album, also called "Sonic Highways" and due out in November, for which each song was recored in a different U.S. city (Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., and New York) in collaboration with "local legends" and laid down at iconic studio. The songs themselves were inspired by the experiences he had working with and interviewing these artists ranging from Fugazi's Ian MacKaye and KISS' Paul Stanley to The Eagles' Joe Walsh and Heart's Nancy Wilson.
But in case you were wondering why he deserves your attention for this HBO show and album, here are 20 reasons why Dave Grohl is the coolest dude in music.
