Dave Grohl disappointed A LOT of people yesterday, including me.
It’s not shocking to me that Dave cheated on his wife because he has a history of cheating on all of his partners. What IS shocking is his lack of caution, considering his level of fame. There’s also a lot of rock star hubris here—the way he announces the existence of his fourth daughter as though he just released a solo record, the assumption that people will be considerate—but at his core, Dave isn’t a bad person.
Also, none of this is our business. His PR team was savvy enough to drop the post—with the comments disabled—just hours before the Harris-Trump debate and on the day before the September 11th memorials would be all over social media. Dave Grohl was the top trend on Twitter for a few hours, then his name disappeared completely once the debate began, and he’s not trending at all today.
Eventually, there will be a redemption arc for Dave Grohl, so might I suggest finally acknowledging that a fan inspired him to write “Times Like These” in 2002, aka the Song That Saved Foo Fighters.
And that fan was ME.
It should’ve been a huge story when it happened, but I think Dave didn’t want to tell his girlfriend, who’s now his wife, that I inspired that song. Because Dave once told her that I was “one who got away.” Not THE one, but just one. So, that’s been fun for me over the last 22 years.
ANYWAY, I made a brief TikTok about the whole thing. I hope his family can heal and that everyone leaves them alone for awhile.

If there’s no such thing as bad publicity, then I can use this Grohl-mentum to promote my rock & roll love story The Sound of Settling since he’s the origin story for my meta-fanfic. Getting a proper publishing deal out of this would be MY redemption arc, y’all.
Now…onto the debate. Kamala crushed him like I knew she would. Trump lost in the first few seconds, when she forced him to shake her hand. VP Harris OWNED him for the next 90 minutes. She triggered him with low-hanging fruit-bait and he went after it every time. The side-eye memes of her are already everywhere and it’s glorious.
While we enjoyed the post-debate afterglow, childless Cat Lady Taylor Swift posted the endorsement we knew was coming, but the Mastermind did it in her own special way.
Trump is so extra cooked now, RFK Jr just tied him to the roof of his car.
And he’s so aware of how badly he lost last night that he actually showed up to a September 11th memorial where both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were. Desperate Donny Photo Op, ladies and germs.
Joe: I know what’s going on here, you big dumb loser
Kamala: Oh hey, you look like you haven’t slept since I handed you your own giant dumpy diapered ass last night.
GLORIOUS.
Trump also said he doesn’t want to debate her again, WAAAAAH! My MAGA schadenfreude is extra spicy today, friends.
We’re going to win, because we are.
“Dave Grohl has a history of cheating on all his partners.”
Me-“You mean I had a chance?” LOL
Just kidding.
And yes. Our future President kicked some old delusional ass last night and me and the different girl groups were texting and cheering and whooping it up so much that I had to stop and focus on the carnage.
It’s true. You simply cannot look away from a train wreck. Simply spectacular in his meltdown. I gotta be honest though. I thought he would’ve gotten to it sooner, but it took him about 30 minutes before he finally capitulated to the strength of this amazing woman. Touché.
Kamala did great. We, America, stand on the precipice. It’s times like these you learn to live again
