Dave Grohl lost his wallet at a truck stop in Barstow, CA. He and T Hawkins were invited by the Paul brothers of Panthers to visit their strip club in Dallas, so as they were heading to Dave's house in VA to start on the third FF record they decided to detour; Grohl didn't realize he had lost his wallet until they had to present ID at the club.

Flash forward 10 years. At the time Grohl owned a beach house in Oxnard (up the coast in Ventura Co), and he and his young daughter made a convenience store run. The young lady manning the register was like "OMG are you Dave Grohl?" Not really wanting to deal with a fan with his daughter in tow, he reluctantly confirmed. Then she said "Did you lose your wallet in Barstow ten years ago?" Her parents owned the truck stop. They still had his wallet, and returned it to him intact and with all money and cards.

I mean, Dave Grohl seems like he'd have been fairly easy to locate through his record label or something......

Side note, a recent TIL is that Dave is a native of Warren, OH, about 40 miles from here but closer to @willeyeam . Found that out because there's a brewery on Dave Grohl Alley. He didn't live there long, though.

yup they just opened that little alley recently. Trent Reznor is from up here in Mercer too and I don't think the area does enough to celebrate either of them imo

Fan of Jack and Coke? Soon, you’ll be able to get the classic cocktail pre-mixed in a can.

Coca-Cola and Brown-Forman Corporation, the parent company of Jack Daniels Tennesse Whiskey, announced the partnership this week. It’ll bring Jack Daniels and Coca-Cola together in the same can to mimic the classic mixed beverage.

A prototype black can recalls both the label of Jack Daniels as well as the older Coke Zero can. The companies said the cans will be clearly marked to distinguish them from regular soda.

The drink will be available around the world, although its initial launch is scheduled for Mexico in late 2022. It will be sold in both regular and zero sugar versions.

The alcohol beverage volume (ABV) is expected to be about 5%. It will, however, vary by market, the companies said.

A U.S. launch is expected next year, according to CNN.

Because mixing is hard.

Seems like a response to the popularity of High Noons.

Yeah, you could mix vodka, fruit juice, and seltzer yourself, but why skip the convenience of tall that in a can?

A buddy of mine went to Mercer HS with Reznor. I seem to remember him saying he was a pretty normal dude.

If you look at HVAC equipment in office buildings, stores, warehouses, and see Reznor, that's his family's company, founded by his Great or Great Great grandfather. They sold out in the '90s but their name's still on it.

They shut the Mercer plant down a year or two ago. But yeah, same family

It's funny that no one really knows about him or recognizes him. He's won multiple grammys I think and is a pretty big deal imo. We were at the movies maybe 8-10 years ago and he was there with his girl. A friend of mine knew it was his birthday for some reason but otherwise no one in the whole place knew who the heck he was. Which I suppose is nice for him

Verizon increasing my bill $12 a month due to rising operational costs. That's bullshit.

I like his music but wouldn't know him if I fell over him especially if he was in street clothes. Pretty Hate Machine was huge when I was in college.

I just found out the other day Paul Gilbert (shred guitarist) is from Greensburg. (Or at least grew up there)

This checks out.

Downtown Charleston real estate lot for $87K???

It's a parking spot. A single parking spot.

You can get a nice sized tent on that spot.

[NTP66]

Lol, I’d say that’s a first, but I’ve seen parking spaces go for much more in NYC.
