Alternatives To Valium - Alastair McKay - # 8 Nirvana

 

A short but wonderful chapter where Alastair meets and interviews Cobain and Novolesic while Nirvana are playing support to Tad in Newcastle shortly before Nirvana break big and have such an impact so immediately.  A number of things become clear. What a great writer McKay is to get this all down. How smart both Cobain and Novolesic are. How Kurt is in genuine pain. Of course we now know it will kill him. That his talent and his sensitivity and pain are always going to.

How genuinely revolutionary Smells Like Teen Spirit is. How it will change everything and nothing like all the best music. How genuinely sad the Kurt story is. How he is still missed.
