Still badass at 50. Happy Birthday!

Possibly the single biggest influence on modern alternative music.
Trace back the origins of punk/hardcore, emo, indie (especially indie) or even mainstream rock -- Dave Grohl grew up on Minor Threat, et al -- and you'll find this man.
I just, finally, picked up Our Band Could Be Your Life the other day and can't wait to find out more about the legend.
Happy birthday!

This is a concise and accurate sum up of him. Also maybe the general of DIY.
