I like how Dave Grohl talks of being humbled by the miners that asked for an ipod with his songs, and how they genuinely thanked him and he took brought them to a concert, dedicated a song to them and put it on an album as promised. That's an interesting perspective to hear. Its interesting to hear that he stopped playing and listening to music for a while after Kurt Cobain died. He started to associated it with death, instead of life and celebration like he once did after loosing his friend. Then he realized that it was part of the healing process because it had been such a big part of his life.
He describes Nirvana's music as a party and everybody came. I really like that analogy, it's a great way to tie to many things in life. In a sense you create something to make yourself happy and thats your own 'go to' place to be happy and at home and then it does turn into a party when others join in and share that same mutual feeling.
I think its interesting to hear his perspective on Kurt Cobain's writing process. He would sit for hours in his room and just write or play guitar, Grohl's song alluding to this is nice. That goes to show that Kurt Cobain was really focused into what he was doing, it was his passion, and he would pour long amounts of time into it, whether playing songs, writing songs, reflecting, or learning new things. This is the same aspect we should all take if we are truly devoted to something, you need to take some time out and really focus on your craft to make it worthwhile, it should be something that you enjoy and look forward to, it seemed as is Cobain had this drive or desire to do this or he would not do that as his nightly routine.
This podcast gave some good insights and ideas.
