"In The Storyteller, a collection of moments from all periods of his life, Dave Grohl offers something rare--a real, raw, and honest portrait of an extraordinary life made up of ordinary moments. From his visceral love for music and his fellow musicians, to his deep connection to his hometown of Springfield, Virginia, to the way he writes with awe about raising his daughters, Dave Grohl tells stories like he writes songs--from his soul. Packed with reflections on touring with Scream, joining Nirvana and watching it all crumble, creating Foo Fighters when his life was a crossroads, and now crisscrossing the world as a family man, The Storytelling is brimming with life, humor, and Dave's clear-eye perspective on fame"--Book jacket.
