Press release of the day: Dave Grohl — like a rock

Last year, in a review of the latest Foo Fighters album, I called Dave Grohl “the Bob Seger of alternative rock.” I was referring to his dependability in churning out mediocre, unadventurous music, but I had no idea how literal the connection would become, given the following announcement.

Over the past ten years, Foo Fighters has established itself as one of the biggest rock acts in the world, and the epitome of the American rock band...

In addition to Foo Fighters and Three Days Grace, American icons like Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and ZZ Top, as well as rising stars like Daughtry are scheduled to perform during the 105th Anniversary. The Motor Company also plans to feature other popular acts including The Black Crowes, Dierks Bentley, Los Lonely Boys, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Buddy Guy, Cameo and more.
