It’s an unwritten rule of the universe that if you put a bunch of dudes together in a room, eventually the conversation will turn to how awesome Dave Grohl is. Someone will say “Did you hear about the time Dave Grohl did xyz?”, pull out an iPhone, and play a YouTube clip of Dave Grohl doing something awesome like showing up at some random fan’s house to play a concert in that person’s garage or backyard, to which everyone will nod in unison while saying, “Holy sh*t Dave Grohl is awesome!” Now there’s another clip of Dave Grohl being awesome for dudes to choose from.
If you haven’t heard, iTunes is streaming live concerts daily, for free, from London throughout the month of July in an event dubbed, “iTunes Festival.” Grohl’s Foo Fighters played their show for the festival the other night, and some a-hole in the crowd began causing trouble, so Grohl stopped the show to have him tossed.
The best part of this is the censor person missing badly at just about every attempt to bleep out an expletive that came flying out of Grohl’s mouth — and there were many. Whatever, screw the FCC, it’s the Internet. DAVE GROHL IS THE MAN!

I love so much that the next clip that YouTube offers is “Dave Grohl Falls Down On Stage”. He was still awesome in it.
Grohl is easily in my top five living people I want to have a beer with.
Yeah, it’s not enough that he is an other-worldly rock musician, he’s got a killer sense of humor too. It’s not really fair. FRESH POTS! [www.youtube.com]
Oh, and yeah, the bleepers were having the worst time of it trying to censor Gerard during the live My Chemical Romance show (which was AWESOME, by the way.)
Dude exudes awesomeness just by standing still and smiling impishly.
The time he told the Glee guy to fuck off was pretty cool as well.
wait, the case in point is that dave grohl is cool for throwing someone out of a show? for fighting? that makes someone cool? i might agree if he had the crowd form a circle around the two people fighting and dave threw a bunch of backup equipment into the circle and gave a Thunderdome speech from the stage. i mean, isn’t trashin shit and boozin and living in excess what makes (made) rock counterculture in the first place?
Here I just figured it was me and my friends who thought he was awesome. I mean, nobody is universally cool, you’d think. We may have a winner.
I heart Dave Grohl.
