Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters rocking out.

There’s not a lot to be said for rock and roll these days.  It seems like increasingly the genre is in trouble, with no real rock bands around anymore.  However, there’s one band that sells out arenas and continues to rack up awards, and that’s Dave Grohl’s massively successful band, Foo Fighters.  All good things eventually come to an end, or at least take the occasional break.  The Foo Fighters are going on an indefinite hiatus.

This isn’t the first time the band has taken a prolonged break.  The band went on hiatus back in 2012, allowing Dave Grohl to do all kinds of other fun stuff, like drum for Queens of the Stone Age and work on directing a documentary, among other things.  This time, it looks like the band has plenty of things to do separately, with Grohl working on another season of Sonic Highways and Taylor Hawkins playing in the band Chevy Metal, among other things.  However, it doesn’t seem like the band is permanently done, and I’m sure before they end up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they’ll be adding to their incredible discography of 152 songs.

“We’re on ‘ihateus’ [a pun on hiatus] right now, we’re on an indefinite ‘ihateus,'” said drummer Taylor Hawkins in an interview with Artisan News.  He added that the band was taking a break, not “because we don’t love each other, or don’t want to make music together… We did so much in the last five or six years — we as a band could go into the studio tomorrow and have just as much fun as we ever had, but I think the world needs a break from us for a little while.”

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
