Some people devote their lives to science, pioneering the sustainable energy sources that could allow humanity to alter the disastrous trajectory of global warming. Others are passionate about humanitarian aid, putting their own lives at risk in order to provide assistance to those who need it most. Or, in the case of
We Are the Thousand, some people spend an entire year forming a 1,000-person band in order to cover Learn to Fly as a way to convince Foo Fighters to play a concert in the small Italian city of Cesena.
There s something wonderfully frivolous about Rockin 1000, an Italian mega-group founded by Fabio Zaffagnini as a way to get Dave Grohl s attention and get the Foos to play a show in his hometown. It s like the ultimate extension of all those people who type come to Brazil in comments sections.
