Summary of Martin James's Dave Grohl - Times Like His

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 In 1969, the Stooges released the definitive collection of punk classics with their eponymous debut album. The Stooges’ songs punched, spat, and kicked against the pricks, but above all, they pointed an accusatory finger at the middle-class indulgences of the West Coast’s hippy scenesters and the arty habits of Warhol’s Factory fops.

#2 Following the divorce, Virginia took on three jobs to support Dave and his sister. She worked as a High School teacher and also in a department store at night. She had never been a punk rocker before, but in 1982, her son was greeted at the front door by Tracey, who was now a punk rocker.

#3 Grohl’s love of punk rock began when he saw Tracey play in a punk rock band. He began traveling to different cities to find his favorite punk bands.

#4 The Bad Brains, a DC band, were one of the most influential bands in the early hardcore scene. They were known for their political fury and heavy rock songs, laced with a strong reggae vibe. They moved to New York, and their impact on bands such as the Beastie Boys and the nascent Big Apple hardcore scene was tremendous.
