When touring with his first major band, Scream, already a dream come true, Grohl discovered that Iggy Pop was holding a record release party in the very club they were playing, but he wasn’t allowed to attend. I had let go of any resentment toward him long ago and forgiven him his shortcomings as a parent, ultimately lightening the burden of our relationship, leaving us to become good friends.” Not to mention that his success has, certainly, lasted. His father’s prediction that “this will never last” and disowning him after Grohl dropped out of high school to pursue music? By the end, “We had struggled our entire lives to connect, but even in his absence I was shaped by his presence, for better or worse. I stopped and realized that I had vividly imagined this exact moment thirty years before as a 13-year-old boy, like a premonition, and now I was actually fucking living it! Crazy as it may seem, my teenage rock and roll dream had come true.” And in 2011, she did! “I looked down and saw Sandi standing there … in the exact same spot where she had been standing in the dream I had the night she broke my heart. Sandi, the woman whom he loved yet broke up with him in 1982? He dreamed that one day she would see him on stage in front of “thousands of screaming fans”. Dave Grohl wants you to know that all of his dreams have come true.
