This last chapter summarizes everything that he talked about in this book. If it wasn't for his mom letting him do what he wanted to do, he may not had been starting the band we know now as The Foo Fighters or Nirvana. This was a dream come true...after all he had been through he was playing to sold out shows almost every night.

A whole chapter on Dave working up the courage to play the song Blackbird by the Beatles at the Academy Awards, his daughter gave him the courage to do it. He talked a lot about how she worked up the courage to do her song at her school it was now up to him to play the song on live tv.

I felt like I was rushed through this chapter as Dave had to be at his Daughter's Daddy and Daughter dance and the same night fly out for a show with the Foo Fighters. You see all this happen as you're rushed through the story. The same night he gets food poisoning and he doesn't know what to do 20 hours in the air. His manager finds a doctor and Dave is treated in his hotel room and pulls off the show of 25 songs...

Another short and sweet chapter on the time when Joan Jett came to stay at Dave's house and recorded music with him. She also read to Violet, his daughter, just before going to bed. What an amazing experience that was.

Another chapter of Dave meeting super famous stars in music from Neil Diamond to Little Richard and what good people they are. Dave is a fan just like us. The ending really grounds you when he talks about Lemmy of Motorhead, who tragically passed and left a big hole in the metal community he was a great person. Very down to earth. He kept to himself and rocked till life took him away from us. Really good chapter...

A star studded chapter on the day one of Dave's amazing meet and greet parties, he got to have dinner with Paul McCartney and AC/DC just before he got to see them live in concert and a parade of New Orleans trumpeters a band he knew one of the members from he invited to the dinner.

Three things happened in this chapter could have been 2 chapters long. Dave was about to join a new band that was secret at the time Them Crooked Vultures. At that time, he was playing with the Foo Fighters and his new band. Jacked up on coffee that would land himself at the doctor's office. He met the president at the time and played on the White House lawn. He had another kid as well. This doesn't feel like reading

That was a chapter I wasn't expecting to read Dave having been to a psychic once, and they figured out he had his own abilities, but didn't know how to use them. He once moved into a house that was not right there was something definitely something in the house and it bothered him. Big Day Out he had been a part of with the Foo Fighters and after the show he was arrested and taken to jail because of his drinking...

This was a chapter I couldn't get into, but it was because of the political scene it created. I'm not into the people who were mentioned. Long story short, Dave got to play in the White House in front of a president and Paul McCartney. Dave was wondering the whole time, "What Am I Doing Here?" He played a Who song which was more out of his comfort zone as he thought he was going to be playing with Paul but was alone.

The chapter where Dave becomes a father to not only 1, not 2, but 3 girls. He thought he would have one boy but ended up with girls. He was saying he didn't know what he would do with a boy. He now had a family something he wanted, and he realized he didn't want to leave his first when he went on tour. It was hard for him at the time. All the other members of the band were having kids as well. This was a new start...
