Last Saturday morning, when I opened my Instagram and started routinely exploring my feed, I abruptly stopped scrolling. My brain registered “Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins dies at 50.” Immediately, I checked Rolling Stone and the Foo Fighters Instagram to confirm that the information I read was not fake news. Both pages had posted tributes

Nirvana’s appearance at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards was iconic for many reasons — Krist Novoselic tossing his bass on his face, Dave Grohl taunting Axl Rose and Kurt Cobain wearing a “Hi, how are you?” shirt.

In 2011, the Foo Fighters released their magnum opus, “Wasting Light.” Every song on that album is a jam. For my money, it’s the best album to come out in the last 10 years (sorry Kung-Fu Kenny and Yeezy), a refreshing taste of actual rock album in the midst of the watered down alt-rock and

On Sept. 24, 1991, three rambunctious losers from Seattle released an aggressive grunge album that would go on to replace Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” as the No. 1 record in America — thereby radically altering the trajectory of popular music forever. Twenty-five years later, Nirvana’s “Nevermind” continues to stand as one of music’s most iconic and problematic records
