    I had just met a guy that was burned 75% of his body including his face. Spent a week with him guiding him in Alaska fly fishing. At the end of our week I noticed that I didn’t even see the injuries anymore. He tried to live a normal life and never complained. After he left camp I heard this song and knew what the song meant to me. P.S. a few years later his wife called me and told me that he had died but she wanted me to know that the week he spent with me was one of the highlights of his life. Little did she know that he was one of the highlights of my life I have never forgotten him.

      Uber Driver “My Hero” was released in 1998, 5 years after Kurt’s death. Idk when the song was actually written, but there is definitely some influence of it either directly or indirectly. You can’t tell me the drummer of the biggest band in the entire world, writes releases a song 5 years after the frontman/friend of that same band died and it had no influence whatsoever on how he wrote this song?

    It's weird to hear them talk about Kurt to him now, I guess it was still kinda fresh at that point. It really is a testament to how great Dave is as a musician where he seems to have transcended the whole Nirvana/Cobain thing despite how massive that was. When you hear the name "Dave Grohl" nowadays you're probably more likely to think of Foo Fighters than Nirvana, which to me is amazing. I can't think of any other musician who came from a massive band on the same level as Nirvana into another one and managed to shake off the image of the first.

Because the viewer converts it automatically to something to identify it. My hero can be anything you claim but when people remember hearing the devastating news of the last great rock singer dying tragically and then hearing a pretty song about "my hero" sung by one of Kurt's favorite people in the world... The world doesn't need any explanation and we mourn for Kurt and that void that has yet again opened up. Make it about the ice cream man... Sure... Whatever...

    A hero can be a person that gives a smile to the person that was about to end their lives but decided not to because that smile is what that person needed.

    When they say musicians are often rude in person, I like to imagine Dave Grohl is the exception.

    The way Dave sings those hard to sing lines in a lower tone really shows how much heart he has and how much his hero/s mean to him

    Too alarmin' now to talk about
    Take your pictures down and shake it out
    Truth or consequence, say it aloud
    Use that evidence, race it around
    There goes my hero
    Watch him as he goes
    There goes my hero
    He's ordinary
    Don't the best of them bleed it out
    While the rest of them peter out?
    Truth or consequence, say it aloud
    Use that evidence, race it around
    There goes my hero
    Watch him as he goes
    There goes my hero
    He's ordinary
    Kudos, my hero, leavin' all the mess
    You know my hero, the one that's on
    There goes my hero
    Watch him as he goes
    There goes my hero
    He's ordinary
    There goes my hero
    Watch him as he goes
    There goes my hero
    He's ordinary

    Heard this beautiful song forever now, but as of recently it makes me think of my pops... now that I'm 36 with three kids a wife and all that. I now realize the sacrifices he made for us to give a life he didn't have. My hero has gone to a mechanic shop since he was 12 and provided one hell of a great life.

    Rest in peace taylor Hawkins, honestly one of the worst mornings of my life, Taylor’s style of drumming was a primary influence into my life and musical taste and playing, his attitude throughout his life was something that I aspire to reproduce, the way he always appeared like a light in a dark room, my condolences to the family friends and the music world
