From T.J. Rogers
Dear Dave,
I was just thinking today about the time All My Life came on the radio and saved me in a particular situation and always wanted to tell you about it, this was in June 2015.
I had rambled back and forth across the country and on a particular day went in for an interview did well and was handed keys to a company truck. The sky looked pretty grim. Just as the new boss handed me the keys, the biggest hailstones I ever saw fell from the sky, even cracking the glass on the vehicle. The boss was like “Go! Get out of here!” This was in Elizabeth Colorado and I was staying at the hostel in Denver. I only had a flip phone and no gps vaguely knew the way back. It was flooding so hard at this point that even with wipers on I could hardly see. I got on the interstate and found myself heading toward a vortex, I flung around which happened to be the direction I should’ve been going. The way the water was running across I knew I couldn’t even stop. The wind battered me around and I even spun a few times in circles. I had a moment where I accepted my fate that I might not make it. Your song, which was acclaimed by in an interview to be about cunnilingus came on, All My Life! I was like “This is the song I’m going to die to?” It amped me up and I put the pedal to the metal instead of being afraid. Truly I don’t think I would have made it if that song didn’t come on the radio at that time. I hope this message gets to you. I took a beautiful picture of the storm from the hostel roof top when I got to Denver. It’s on my Facebook page. My name is T.J. Rogers from Fairmont West Virginia. I hope this letter gets to you. I can’t relay to you just how crazy it got and how close to death I was. The Foo Fighters saved a life that day by filling a heart with bravery. And I sincerely just had a tear fall from my eye. It meant a lot to me.
Thank you,
Your friend T.J. Rogers
