« I think my father just imagined I would take the conventional route through life where I would go four years through high school, four years through college, getting a job, having a wife, having some children, » Dave Grohl writes in his new memoir.
Dave Grohl is one of the world’s best-known rock stars, but his journey to fame and fortune wasn’t always easy. The Foo Fighters frontman has revealed that his father didn’t approve of him joining a rock band – and a rift formed between the pair. Writing in his new memoir, the 52-year-old said: « My mother was always very supportive and encouraged me to follow my own path. « My father was a conservative Republican speechwriter so I don’t know that he understood a child like mine’s mind. » His father, James Harper Grohl, was a journalist and political consultant who had clear expectations for the son his life would lead. Grohl wrote: « I think my father just imagined I would take the conventional route through life where I would go four years through high school, four years through college, getting a job, having a wife, having some children.
