Never gave these guys any credence - though I love Grohl - this is a nice tune - I like to hear a little "meat" on RP!!

And to compare to Nirvana is just ridiculous.

If you hear it on FM, it should never be here, that's not what RP is for. Get with the program

This song is often interpreted to be about the drug addictions and bad habits of the late Kurt Cobain, who was in Nirvana with Foo Fighter frontman Dave Grohl, who wrote this song. However, according to an interview with Grohl in Mojo magazine, he penned this song during one of the lowest points in his life over Christmas 1996. The frontman was sleeping in a sleeping bag on a friend's floor having just got divorced from photographer Jennifer Youngblood and as a consequence was homeless. On top of that Grohl had no access to his own bank account, and both his drummer, William Goldsmith, and guitarist, Pat Smear, were on the verge of quitting the Foo Fighters. In the midst of all this he wrote this love song in about 45 minutes.

The first time I heard their cover of Have A Cigar I thought "Gee, his drumming is getting as good as Dave's" then learned that it was indeed Dave thumping the skins and Taylor just sings it.

It's about the music. Just because it 's a commercial success doesn't invalidate the fact that it totally kicks ass!!!
