Dave Grohl will be taking part in a concert honoring Paul McCartney in the East Room of the White House (I was just there.  It’s a big room.  And yellow).  It will be hosted by President of The United States Barack Obama and the concert will air on PBS on July 28th, 2010 at 8pm.  Sir Paul is being awarded the 3rd Gershwin Prize for Popular Song from the Library of Congress.  Other performers besides Mr. Grohl are Elvis Costello, Jack White, Jerry Seinfeld, Emmylou Harris, Faith Hill, Corinne Bailey Rae, the Jonas Brothers and Herbie Hancock.  I think it would be cool if Jack White and Dave Grohl got in a fight.  Actually not, but my two heroes in the same place at the same time might be a little too much the East Room of the White House can handle.

Dave Grohl will be narrating the John Bonham Story on BBC 6 Music (radio) on May 31st, 2010, 3pm BST.  That's tomorrow.  If you get the BBC and like John Bonham’s drumming and the sound of Dave Grohl’s voice, you might want to listen to it.
