| Abstract | The legendary American musician, singer, songwriter, and documentary filmmaker offers a collection of stories, written by his own hand, that focus on the memories of his life from childhood up through the 2010s. The author offers an honest portrait of an extraordinary life made up of ordinary moments. From his deep connection to his hometown of Springfield, Virginia, to the awe he still feels about raising his daughters, he tells stories from his soul. Packed with reflections on touring with Scream, joining Nirvana and watching it all crumble, creating Foo Fighters when his life was at a crossroads, and now crisscrossing the world as a family man, he introduces himself to us as a gifted storyteller with a clear-eyed perspective on fame. |
