In a preview for the special, Smith and Foos frontman Dave Grohl talk about their influences.

Grohl begins by talking about his childhood love for “’70s AM radio,” which Smith agrees “ruled.” “That’s got such a big place in my heart,” Grohl says. “10CC, Andrew Gold, Gerry Rafferty.” You can watch the clip now via PBS.com.
