Eurovision

Paul Lang is a pop-culture writer from the United Kingdom whose earliest Eurovision memory is watching Bucks Fizz win when he was six years old — and he’s seen every show since, usually while telling everyone else in the room to shut up and listen to the songs. By a strange twist of fate he ended up with Gina G as his landlady for ten years, and enjoyed the Contests from 2006–2016 sitting on her actual sofa. If you ask him, he will tell you that his favourite Eurovision act is ABBA, but it’s actually Nicki French.

1. Dave Grohl

The Storyteller

In The Storyteller, een verzameling van gebeurtenissen uit alle periodes van zijn leven, biedt Dave Grohl iets zeldzaams: een echt, rauw en eerlijk portret van een buitengewoon leven bestaande uit alledaagse momenten. Hij schrijft over zijn diepgewortelde liefde voor muziek en zijn collega-muzikanten, zijn hechte verbondenheid met zijn geboorteplaats Springfield, Virginia, en het ontzag dat hij voelt tijdens het opvoeden van zijn dochters. Dave Grohl vertelt verhalen zoals hij liedjes schrijft: vanuit zijn ziel. Over toeren met Scream, toetreden tot Nirvana en alles zien afbrokkelen, de oprichting van Foo Fighters toen zijn leven zich op een kruispunt bevond, het kriskras reizen over de wereld als familieman en zijn heldere perspectief op roem. The Storyteller zit boordevol leven en humor. We kenden Dave Grohl al als een van de meest gewaardeerde muzikanten, maar in dit boek ontpopt hij zich daarnaast als een begaafd en boeiend schrijver.
