SynopsisOne part memoir, one part political platform, the bass player of Nirvana - the most heralded and influential rock band of the past twenty years - tells the story of his own musical and political coming-of-age. From his relationship to Kurt Cobain to his evolution as a political activist, Novoselic's passion, intelligence, and integrity come shining through in this moving and inspirational book. Novoselic is the initiator of a number of initiatives and the founder of an organisation that use music and the music community as a vehicle for political activism., One part memoir, one part political platform, the bass player of Nirvana--the most heralded and influential rock band of the past twenty years--tells the story of his own musical and political coming-of-age. From his relationship with Kurt Cobain to his evolution as a political activist, Novoselic's passion, intelligence, and integrity come shining through in this moving and inspirational book. Although Krist Novoselic will undoubtedly be forever best-known as a member of Nirvana, his accomplishments go far beyond that remarkable achievement. Nirvana was a band with a conscience, and as a major label act they regularly played benefits--the first Rock For Choice show, a major concert in support of gay rights, and a legendary gig that raised money for the Balkan Women's Aid Fund. In 1995, Novoselic founded JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee), a proactive organization that advocated on behalf of Washington state's music community. Novoselic's work with JAMPAC helped Seattle club owners find ways to host all-ages shows, and was instrumental in helping to overturn the infamous Teen Dance Ordinance. And sometimes making music and making a statement go hand in hand, as when Novoselic, Soundgarden's Kim Thayil, and drummer Gina Mainwal backed Jello Biafra as the "No WTO Combo" at a show performed during the World Trade Organization conference held in Seattle in 1999. There have been other musical endeavors since Nirvana, as well as new causes (Novoselic is a strong supporter of electoral reform, an issue he has written about about extensively). The one constant is Novoselic's desire to continue making progressive contributions to the community--and to keep on making good music., One part memoir, one part political platform, the bass player of Nirvana--the most heralded and influential rock band of the past 20 years--tells the story of his own musical and political coming-of-age.
