Jake Living Hero Blog Post 2

My second living hero is a man named Dave Grohl. If some of you do not know much about him, Dave Grohl is the lead singer/guitarist in the Foo Fighters, and was originally the drummer of Nirvana. Dave was born in Warren, Ohio on January 14th, 1969. I believe he is a living hero because during his time in Nirvana, the lead singer Kurt Cobain committed suicide and had further broken up the band. Every band member was in pieces for a long time, except for Dave. What Dave did, was began writing music, and creating songs, to overcome the mental obstacle of the absence of his dear friend Kurt. Now, Dave is very successful. He has left his mark on the world of how anyone can come out of the dark and be incredibly successful afterwards. And not only did he leave his mark on the world, but he inspired me to become a better musician with the course of musical education I have chosen.
