'We had a great time with our groups, but then eventually tragedy happened, and my group broke up,” Paul McCartney explained. “The same happened with Dave'
Photo: Getty Images Thousands of people at Saturday’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony got to experience the high of being in the same room as a Beatle, with Paul McCartney waltzing onto the stage to sing the praises of the living, follicle-y entity known as Foo Fighters, who were inducted with their first year of eligibility. But mostly, we’ll be real, the Sir was there for Dave Grohl.
“I fell into rock and roll, I joined a group. My group was the Beatles. Like I say, the world changed. Dave did a similar kind of thing. He joined a group, Nirvana. We had a great time with our groups, but then eventually tragedy happened, and my group broke up,” McCartney explained. “The same happened with Dave: His group broke up under tragic circumstances. And so then the question is, what do you do now? And we both were presented with that question.
Anyway, so me, I’m going to name my new group, and I call them Wings. So Dave’s got the same problem, and he’s got to think of a name for the group, so he comes up with Foo Fighters.So me, a teenaged kid in Liverpool, just an ordinary kid going to school like everybody else. Then one day, I heard some music, and I fell into rock and roll. It just happened one day. Suddenly, the world changed, and I just fell through a hole in time, and suddenly, I was in rock and roll.
We’ll dismiss the case for now, but not before celebrating the return of the Rock Hall super-jam, a so-called tradition that somehow hasn’t occurred since 2017. McCartney and the Foos performed a rollicking rendition of the Beatles standard “Get Back,” which is currently making the bootleg rounds on social media if you’re so inclined to watch it. We eagerly await Macca’s acoustic take on “The Pretender” for the next ceremony.
