Dave Grohl is best known as the Foo Fighters' front man and former Nirvana drummer. In his newly released memoir "The Storyteller," the 16-time Grammy winner relates his story of growing up in Washington, D.C., touring as a teenager, and his friendship with the late Kurt Cobain. Grohl speaks with Hari Sreenivasan about grief -- and finding rhythm in unusual places.
