Radio host and Foo Fighters fan Frank Pain has launched a GoFundMe campaign in hopes of "buying" Dave Grohl.

Pain, radio host for Texas' Rock 108, has launched a GoFundMe campaign and is hoping to raise $35,000 to help his cause.

"I'm his biggest fan and figured I can round up enough scratch to purchase him so we can hang out and high five and s**t. Heck, I may give him a bro-hug or two as well," Pain explains on the GoFundMe page. "I'm not 100% the amount I'm asking for will buy him. Hell, I'm not even sure if it's legal to purchase another human being . . . But, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try, right?"

So far, $443 has been raised by 38 people. If he fails in his bid ("if it is indeed illegal to purchase another human . . . or if Mr. Grohl isn't a willing purchasee) then Pain says he will "spend the money on beer because Dave seems like the kind of person that would want me to drink beer."
