4. Grohl Has Only Written One Song Explicitly About Nirvana
Despite years of interviewers grilling Dave about the meaning of each individual Foo Fighters song, hoping to find the one lyric that told the wold how he felt about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain, the frontman remained steadfast that there were no Foo songs of that ilk. "My Hero" wasn't about his former friend (in fact, the words of the famous chorus were written as a placeholder that Dave intended to rewrite), nor was "Everlong" or "February Stars." But because people love to search for hidden meanings, there have been no fewer than two dozen Foo Fighters songs that "totally reference Kurt and Nirvana if you look close enough." This is stupid and untrue and stop looking for things that aren't there, people. There's only one Grohl-penned track that has anything to do with Kurt, and that's "Friend of a Friend," a song he wrote while still in Nirvana that was originally released as a demo under the pseudonym Late! It's a simple tune detailing Dave's first impressions of his new bandmates.
