Music will never go away, and I will never stop making music; it's just what capacity or what arena you decide to do it.
Interpretation
Music is enduring and will always be a part of creation, regardless of the form it takes.
In this quote, Dave Grohl emphasizes the timeless nature of music and the passion for creating it. He suggests that while the methods and environments for making music may change, the act of making music itself is an essential and unending part of life for those who are deeply connected to it.
In practice
During a speech at a music festival, one might say, 'As Dave Grohl reminds us, music will never go away; it’s our duty to keep creating.'
There's a reason why the Foo Fighters don't blast out Nirvana songs every night: because we have a lot of respect for them. You know, that's hallowed ground. We have to be careful. We have to tread lightly. We have talked about it before, but the opportunity hasn't really come up, or it just hasn't felt right.
I think my biggest musical hero growing up was probably Ian MacKaye. He set a great example for all of us local musicians. Still, to this day, I see him as the best example of a right-on musician.

I was this young boy and I saw this man with his hands round my sister's neck, I was just standing there with her two children beside me... Everything I've done since then was for the purpose of making women look stronger, not naïve. And so, when everyone started saying I was a misogynist, that really freaked me out. They didn't know me. They didn't know what I had seen in my life. That was the first part of fashion that I hated - people labeling me without knowing me.
