Attention Quote by Dave Grohl

“Neil Young is my hero, and such a great example.…” quote by Dave Grohl — Download Open image

“Neil Young is my hero, and such a great example. You know what that guy has been doing for the past 40 years? Making music. That's what that guy does. Sometimes you pay attention, sometimes you don't. Sometimes he hands it to you, sometimes he keeps it to himself. He's a good man with a beautiful family and wonderful life.”
