Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters were on the Ellen show this week and he talked about his wild and crazy lifestyle:
-wake up at 5:45am
-shower and coffee
-get kids up
-make breakfast and pack lunch
-load them up in the minivan
-drive the kids 45 minutes to school
-drop them off
-drive 45 minutes to home
-start work making rock music
