Nirvana: The Biography
This is a
book about Nirvana. Punk rock. It's a book about the
betrayal of Olympia, and how when you're beginning
to think that it may just be possible to help change
the world for the better, the world up and whacks
you in the face.
As The
Assistant Editor of Melody Maker, Everett True was
the first journalist to cover the Seattle music
scene in early 1989 and interview Nirvana. He is
responsible for bringing Hole, Pavement, Soundgarden,
and a host of other bands to international
attention. He introduced Kurt Cobain to Courtney
Love, performed on stage with Nirvana on numerous
occasions, and famously pushed Kurt onto the stage
of the Reading Festival in 1992 in a wheelchair.
Nirvana: The
Biography is an honest, moving, incisive, and
heartfelt re-evaluation of a band that has been
misrepresented time and time again since its tragic
demise in April 1994 following Kurt Cobain's
suicide. True captures what the band was really like.
He also discusses the music scene of the time-the
fellow bands, the scenes, the seminars, the
countless lives dates, the friends and allies and
drug dealers. Drawn from hundreds of original
interviews, Nirvana: The Biography is the final word
on Nirvana, Cobain, and Seattle grunge.
