Line Out - Comments on The Quotable Dave Grohl; or, Like a Roomba http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/09/dave_grohl_compares_britney_spears_to_a I've gushed aplenty about last night's professional disembowleling of Britney Spears at the VMAs over on Slog. But thanks to the witty tongue of Dave Grohl, I have the opportunity to re-address the defining event of the 21st century...

The Foos had what MTV called a '2 hour rehearsal' Saturday night, which included their own songs and songs with friends like Cee-Lo, Lemmy, QotSA, etc.

In reality, that rehearsal was what was presented as 'live' on the awards show, with MTV cutting it to bits, thinking we wouldn't notice that the suite segments showed that it was dark outside when the show was running at 5pm Vegas time.

Rumor has it that the Foos suite show will appear in its entirety at some point soon.

That's what I think of Dave Grohl.
