It’s been almost 40 years since bass guitarist Krist Novoselic and his buddy Kurt Cobain formed a band they called Nirvana Novoselic wound up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a result.
He continued his music for over 20 years after the end of Nirvana.
But he also had a deep and abiding interest in politics and democracy. And that’s how he came to write a book in 2004, that he called Of Grunge and Government.
His publisher offered me a few minutes with him in the fall of 2004, and, being the father of teenage daughters who loved Nirvana, I couldn’t say no.
So here now, from 2004, Krist Novoselic.
Krist Novoselic turned 60 last month. Last year he founded the Cascade Party of Washington.
