Foi sem PPT e com muito entusiasmo que Dave Grohl cativou durante 45 minutos uma assistência que se deixou levar por um storytelling absolutamente inspiracional, que vai desde o início da sua paixão pela música, passando pelos Nirvana e Foo Fighters. É um talk que tem muito mais que música. É sobre criar, desenvolver, renascer das cinzas. É sobre a nossa vida e o nosso trabalho.
É uma hora que se ganha, sem dúvida. Se não não tiver essa hora nem vale a pena abrir o link, porque ficamos seduzidos logo nos primeiros minutos. Dave Grohl's Keynote Speech - SXSW 2013.

SIMPLICIDADE, A MAIOR LIÇÃO DOS FOO FIGHTERS.
«Se não fossem vocês, não estávamos cá. Devemo-vos tanto. Cuidem bem de vocês, vemo-nos por aí». É desta forma que Dave Grohl termina a carta de agradecimento aos fãs, colocando estes no centro de tudo o que se passou de espectacular em 2011 para os Foo Fighters. Ao contrário do que se passa com muitas bandas e marcas esta não é uma acção pro-form ou bajuladora, mas sim uma acção feita por alguém que sabe que jamais algo de grandioso poderia ser alcançado sem entusiasmo e paixão e sem uma filosofia centrada nos fãs (fãs ≠ consumidores).
Agindo com inteligência e flexibilidade, com capacidade de conquista, sempre com muita energia e serenidade, a principal lição de Dave Grohl e dos Foo Fighters é tratarem os outros como gostariam de ser tratados, com respeito, de forma equilibrada, sem subserviência e sem altivez. Parece simples, mas a simplicidade não significa abstinência ou ausência de estratégia.

«DO YOU REMEMBER ROCK N ROLL RADIO?» - STEVE JONES
Music of all forms has played a pivotal role in my life. I remember laying in bed as a teenager listening to faraway AM radio stations from big American cities and wishing I could be like one of the charismatic and engaging DJs I heard. I treated the songs the way sports fans treat statistics. I kept track of when they came out and where they peaked on the charts. I tried to learn everything I could about every new band that came out! When I would get in a fight with my parents, I would retreat to my room and crank up my music and get lost in the sounds.
Today one of the songs that means the most to me is "My Hero" by Foo Fighters. I don't remember the first time I ever heard the song, but I clearly remember the first time I "got it". My son, now a teenager himself, was in the car with me and we had just gotten into a typical father-son argument with me over something silly. I was mad at him, as I am sure he was at me. After dropping him off, "My Hero" came on the radio.
Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters sang "There goes my hero, watch him as he goes. There goes my hero... he's ordinary."
It reminded me of the short time we have on this earth, and the deep bond between a father and his son. It spoke to me about the way we are all imperfect and "ordinary", yet to each other we can be heroes. It made me think of my relationship with my hero - my father - and my son's relationship with me.
Today, every time I hear "My Hero", I turn it up as loud as I can. The pounding drum beat and screaming guitars mask the soft and gentle message: love those around you with all your heart while you can and embrace their imperfections, because you won't be around forever. Tomorrow might be too late.
