The Foo Fighters announced yesterday that the name of their new album is...Wasting Light.  

What a minute...

What is Dave Grohl trying to say to me here?  That I'm wasting my LIFE?  Doesn't he think I already know that I'm toiling my life away while he gets to live the dream version of it?  Does he have to go ahead and rub my nose in it by naming his entire album after me?  Well, I will have you know, Mr. Dave Grohl, that I am not wasting my life no matter what you say.  I guess we all realize that the hate goes two ways, though now doesn't it?  

But why do I somehow, deep inside, also feel slightly honored?  And at the same time, because  of that, deeply ashamed?  

Oh wait, the name of the album is Wasting Light?  What does that mean?  

Aaaah, I hate Dave Grohl.




Here's a repost of the press release from Gibson.com:
