The most personal song Chris Shiflett has ever written came from a silent argument he had with strangers at a surf break during COVID.
Chris Shiflett — lead guitarist of the Foo Fighters — grew up in Santa Barbara in the 80s and hasn't lived there since 1989. In this conversation, he breaks down the real inspiration behind "Born and Raised": what it feels like to go home to a place that no longer recognizes you, the T-Bowl fires, the "LA Go Home" graffiti of their childhood, and how a crowded day at Hammond's Beach turned into a song.
