Was out on a drive earlier and this song came on. I think it’s the first time I’ve heard it in at least 5 or 6 years, maybe longer.

Also,completely forgot how awesome the video for it is.

      Ha, yeah.

      The first time I saw the video for this song, I wasn’t familiar with Tenacious D nor had I seen the movie Airplane!. So much of it was lost on me 😆

    I just saw an old interview recently where the interviewer was sharing how they were always so touched by the deep symbolism of flight and freedom and light mixed with dark and then Dave was just like, “I wrote it when I was planning to get my pilot’s license.”

    Edit: It was Kelly Clarkson.

      I love that. lol

      Specifically, when that happens to critics; they invent a whole ethos and message, and the artist is just like “What? I just wanted an ice cream cone.”

      Edit: Just saw the Clarkson interview video you added. She practically died inside. Oh man. lol.

    Foo Fighters are awful. Dave Grohl is the most overrated musician on the planet.

      I always enjoy the zoomers version of “I just hate the Beatles, they’re so talentless”.

      Contrarian opinions make you as edgy as a satsuma.

      As someone who was influenced to grow and become a better musician because of Dave Grohl: fuck each and every part of you.

        I’m sorry you’re a terrible musician, then.
