I certainly had a blast watching her.

No way in hades I'd waste a full beer on that prick, especially back then when I was perpetually broke.

Now you're onto something!

Wrong. Grohl is an amazing drummer.

Don't sweat it, Zack.

Right on with the Rain mention. Heard the song the other day and Ringo's drumming is stunning…and as usual..tasteful.
