His Song
for Dave Grohl</em>
In the middle of a song
he spotted a fight
stopped and ranted
righteous anger
told the dude in the striped
shirt
to "get the fuck out of
my show!"
refused to eat up the
applause
and continued on with his
song
A written comment on YouTube
a man witnessed him stop a show
when a woman flashed her breasts
he responded with a concomitant lift
of his shirt, said
"big deal, we all have titties!"
then continued on with his song
I thought it so cool
his eviction of violence
then returning the space to the music
and I wondered
if it just pisses
him off
when the attention
is wavered
from his song
Well, I wouldn't blame him
he plays some pretty
mean songs
and it goes to show
he must enjoy enlivening them
as much as we love tasting them
Dave is the front man for one of my favorite bands - The Foo Fighters. I saw a video posted on YouTube showing him stop in the middle of a song to make sure a man who was causing a fight was evicted. He waited until he was, then ignored the applause and just started playing again. I really liked that and this poem came as a result. I'd attach the video but alas, I don't know how to do that!
