Dave Grohl Is SO Dave Grohl
Foo Fighters were in the middle of a show in Perth the other night when a fan made his way onto the stage. So Dave Grohl does the most Dave Grohl thing you can do….
Gave the dude (Jevon With A J) a hug then tells him to “Get the f*** off my stage!” and then dedicates a song to him 😆
“JEVON WITH A J!”
Jevon starts making his way up at 4:16… (📹 uploaded by Machin193)

No Phones at Jack White Shows
Shows on Jack White’s upcoming tour will be phone free. Jack’s hitting the road for his new album “Boarding House Reach.” The statement he released said “We think you’ll enjoy looking up from your gadgets for a little while and experience music and our shared love of it IN PERSON.” It shouldn’t really shock anyone that Jack is taking a stance on this. He’s been pretty outspoken at his shows if he sees someone with their phone out. How will they keep you from your phone during the performance? The Yondr pouch.
The statement said “Upon arrival at the venue, all phones and other photo or video-capturing gizmos will be secured in a Yondr pouch that will be unlocked at the end of the show. You keep your pouch-secured phone on you during the show and, if needed, can unlock your phone at any time in a designated Yondr Phone Zone located in the lobby or concourse. For those looking to do some social media postings, let us help you with that. Our official tour photographer will be posting photos and videos after the show at jackwhiteiii.com and the new Jack White Live Instagram account @officialjackwhitelive. Repost our photos & videos as much as you want and enjoy a phone-free, 100% human experience.”
There is no Chicago date on the tour just yet, but there is still plenty of time for him for figure out a way to make it though. His new album is out in March.

Travis Barker Doing a Doc with Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge
Travis Barker is working on a new documentary that will include Mark Hoppus and even Tom DeLonge. Tom split from Blink182 a few years ago to chase aliens. No, really. Some people think he has even found some legit proof of extraterrestrials…
But, as for Travis’ doc, he says it will be an extension of his book “Can I Say.” And since the book is about his life it makes sense that both Tom and Mark would be a part of it. So, while all this info may not answer your questions about life on another planet, or if Tom will ever return to Bilk, it does explain what Tom was talking about when he posted this on Instagram in December.

— pw (@petewentz) January 22, 2018
Rub a dub dub, Pete Wentz was tweeting from a tub. The Fall Out Boy bassist took to social media yesterday to do a livestream Q&A with fans just days after band released their new album ‘M A N I A’ and announced a massive Wrigley Field show.
WIN FALL OUT BOY & RISE AGAINST @ WRIGLEY FIELD TICKETS THIS THURSDAY with TICKET BLITZ THURSDAY before they go on sale on Friday, January 26th.
Wentz did the internet hangout to fulfill a 2011 bet he made when Fall Out Boy were in the middle of what ended up being a five year hiatus (before returning with ‘Save Rock and Roll’), the bass player tweeted: ‘If I ever hit 3 million [Twitter] followers I’m gonna livestream a bubble bath and answer questions. Well, Wentz’s Twitter followers grew to 6.8 million so this well overdue. You can watch the whole thing below with Wentz fielding questions about the upcoming ‘M A N I A’ tour, how the album’s monster mascots could play into the tour, avoiding dropping a phone in the tub, and his favorite Chicago things.
Also Wentz’s kids don’t care about FOB. It’s a fun watch for any fan of the band.

Dashboard Confessional Release Another New Track
Dashboard Confessional released another track from their upcoming album, “Crooked Shadows.” The albums is out on February, 9th. This one is called “Heart Beat Here.” The song’s been a part of Dashboard’s live show for a while, so it may sound familiar if you’ve seen them recently.
The band has already given us “We Fight.”
And “Belong” off the album.
56% of Us Will Still Stop to Pick Up a Penny
Pennies are basically useless at this point . . . if you have one in your house, it almost counts as “clutter” more than it counts as “money.” But DAMN, we’ll still stop in our tracks if we see one.
According to a new survey, 56% of Americans say they’ll stop to pick up a penny if they see one on the street.
And it doesn’t even matter how much money you make. People who make over $80,000-a-year are just a tiny bit less likely to stop for a penny than people who make less than $40,000.
Now . . . SOME of us have higher standards.
11% of people say they’ll only stop for a nickel . . . 6% for a dime . . . 14% for a quarter . . . and 6% won’t stop to pick up ANY coin in the street.
6% won’t stop to pick up ANY coin, not even a quarter.
Do you keep this secret from your partner?
Millions of Americans keep their money a secret from their partner. One in five people in a live-in relationship admit to “financial infidelity,” keeping a private bank account or credit card, according to a study.
The survey found 31 percent of millennials, 24 percent of people ages 38 to 53 and 17 percent of baby boomers have at some point had an account they keep secret from a partner.
On the other side of the coin (pun intended) 31 percent of those in a relationship think that keeping a credit card, checking account or savings account secret from a partner is worse than cheating physically. More HERE
But what if they are buying you lots of cool stuff with the secret money, still a problem?
