More From Dave Grohl

Early on, before rock 'n' roll, i listened to big band music - anything that came over the radio - and music played by bands in hotels that our parents could dance to. we had a big radio that looked like a jukebox, with a record player on the top. the radio/record player played 78rpm records. when we moved to that house, there was a record on there, with a red label. it was bill monroe, or maybe it was the stanley brothers. i'd never heard anything like that before. ever. and it moved me away from all the conventional music that i was hearing.

College radio is a very important medium that needs to survive in difficult economic times when some stations are being sold off and shut down. college radio is the future for broadcasting stars and pioneers of tomorrow, and we as a band, coldplay, support the vital mission of college radio and we also support college radio day, the day when college radio comes together.

Artists should re-emphasize performance and de-emphasize recording. you always make more money if you have a healthy performing life than you will if you have even a moderately healthy recording life. don't make recording the most important thing you do. make performing the most important thing you do, and then you can make recordings and sell them at your shows, because record labels aren't going to be around to help you get on the radio stations, and the radio stations probably aren't going to play you anyway.

There are so many conditions to programming in america, where it's dominated by these people that own 800 radio stations that have no idea who to play and who not to play, and they listen to somebody or read somebody else's programming sheet and go by buck owens' opinion or something. eight hundred stations are controlled by some guy that doesn't have a clue as to what to do about music.

I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."
