In California’s current state of fire emergency, rocker Dave Grohl did what he could to help firefighters during this distressing time. To give thanks to LAFD, Grohl delivered barbecue to Fire Station 68 in Calabasas during their breaks of fighting the ever spreading fires.
 
While these brave men and women continue battling the blazes, Grohl at least made sure they were well fed, as the Foo Fighters frontman cooked up some recipes from his own Backbeat BBQ. For his kindness and generosity, Fire Station 68 thanked Grohl via Instagram.
 

 
We’d also like to thank Dave Grohl, but especially the firefighters working their hardest to save lives and homes in California.

We don’t always get a chance to get to know rappers outside of their music, so when Travis Scott sat down with Ellen, we knew we were going to learn some interesting stuff. Like that he’s into musical theatre? Or that his name isn’t really Travis Scott.

He also clearly loves being a dad and shares details of his life with baby Stormi Webster, his daughter with Kylie Jenner. Travis talks that new dad exhaustion, admits he didn’t know what a placenta was before his baby’s birth, and reveals his feelings when he finally got a chance to hold her.

"Going into it I was, like, nervous and scared. You know, we were just both, like, young. But when you first have a baby in your arms, it's just, like, it's uncontrollable. It's like this whole, like, warp that takes over your whole body. I never thought I could just, like, love something so hard, you know? It's crazy.”

That is SUPER sweet.

Last night, at a country bar called Borderline in Thousand Oaks, California, tragedy hit the country music community again. Former Marine Ian David Long went in with a handgun and killed 12 people, including students there for College Night, and a deputy who went in trying to save lives.

Unbelievably, some of the people who survived last night’s shooting were also at last year’s Route 91 Harvest Festival when that horrible mass shooting happened, including an employee of the Borderline Bar. One of last night’s survivors who was also in Las Vegas during last year’s attack told CBS News, “We’re all a big family and unfortunately this family got hit twice.”

This is a bar where countless country stars have played and thousands of country music fans have gone to have a fun night out. Jerrod Niemann played there just last month. Singer/songwriter Aubrey Sellers, who is Lee Ann Womack’s daughter, had planned to be at Borderline last night, but at the last minute she changed her plans because her cat’s eye was swollen shut. Her cat may have saved her life.

I don’t have any answers. I know thoughts and prayers are getting cliché at this point, and they’re obviously not fixing the problem. But after we’ve done our part and voted for the people who are supposed to enact change, it often feels like thoughts and prayers are all we have left.

As of the time of writing this, not all of the people killed have been identified. But this is for Ventura County Sheriff’s Sgt. Ron Helus, Alaina Housley, Justin Meek, Cody Coffman, and all the others who lost their lives while just trying to have a fun night listening to some good country music.
