Why don’t they race SUVs? They are apparently safer and that’s what America is driving these days since GM and Ford have all but given up on sedans.

Challenging doesn’t just mean crashes, though. People often say they want motorsport to be more challenging for the drivers - including the drivers! [a lot of complaints about F1 over the years have come down to it not being challenging enough - they should be on the limit more, they should have fewer driver aids,…

It’s almost like a large portion of NASCAR’s fanbase doesn’t understand anything with engineering....

Yes, in engineering “nominal” means normal and expected, that it meets the design expectations or goal.

The Root has a journalistic responsibility to revise this headline. To reduce Dave’s obvious tribute and appreciation for Disco’s influence on him to white privilege is, frankly unethical.

It’s impossible for me to dislike Grohl. He hustled and put it all out there with Nirvana, and was fortunate enough to parlay that brief moment in the sun into enduring fame and relevance. The fact is that the dude isn’t lying. He’s not a virtuoso-level musician. He’s “solid” in a way that speaks to a lifelong…

the click bait is strong with this one...

“Smells Like White Privilege Being Properly Used For Once To Pay Respects To Black Artists” isn’t nearly as succinct or catchy of a headline, but it would’ve been a helluva lot more accurate.

You need to redo this headline. Anyone that knows anything about Dave knows his reverence for funk, R&B and all black music. Shit Prince said he was a good drummer. That works for me.

He also had the Sonic Highways show on HBO. Did a whole episode on Go-Go music and how influential it was to DMV area.

Maybe we can write an article about how he doesn’t support future musicians.

White privilege? Really? Is this where we are now? A man can’t even pay homage to artists who inspire him without being accused of white privilege?

Please; please; please change the title of this article.

So we’re going to take a genuinely good guy like this who speaks openly about paying respect to our people and others in general and drag him in the headline for no apparent reason other than to get clicks? If there’s any other motive let me know because those who know music know Dave Grohl is a real one. Hell, if you…

Here is the Sonic Highways episode he did about DC and the music scene when he was growing up, which was the same time for me as we are the same age. I had a chance to go see Scream, the band he was drumming for, but was grounded lol. It touches on go-go, Bad Brains, and other stuff.  

Agree; this was a bit of a misfire. Dave Grohl (like today’s birthday Queen, Ms. Elliott) is a national treasure. He lives, breathes and oozes music. And his appreciation for all aspects of it is apparent. Rock, jazz, R&B, soul, rap, country, pop...ska. He’s an encyclopedia of all of it. He loves and spreads the…

I like him—cuteness aside, he always seems down to Earth and ... like he still knows how to be regular and enjoy it. Like ... someone you could chill with and eat cheap, greasy pizza on a Tuesday, even now. And he’d be the same guy he was when he was just some “basic drummer,” with a struggling band and a day-job.…

Dave Grohl is from the DMV and pays homage and due respect to all Black artistry including GO-GO. I disagree with your header as he has always been about the music of our folks with humility and reverence. Always. Idk where the privilege was presented especially since he publicly and privately gave Tony Thompson his fl…

He seems like a thoroughly good guy who is now a thoroughly good Dad. Good guy that no one has a bad word to say that is also rich...you could do worse. 

If they don’t do a hatchback, I don’t give one single fuck about this car. I know I am not alone.
