Dave Grohl Alley

Last weekend, Warren, Ohio renamed a grungy alley after Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters, born in Warren and with family in the area), the alley "picked on purpose to reflect the rocker's personality", according to Ed Runyan of the The Vindicator. Grohl's performance at the ceremony of a couple of songs included a dedication of "My Hero" to Sgt Joe O'Grady of the Warren Police Department, who had asked the city council to rename the street.

So for a local feel good moment, here's a link to Times Like These, played at the ceremony, and to his acceptance speech. There's more on youtube if you're interested.
