This book 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 (and yes, it was a suicide). Everett True captures what the band was really like, from their blue-collar beginnings in Aberdeen to bewildering worldwide stardom. He also faithfully chronicles the rich cultural ferment that was brewing in the Northwest in the late '80s and '90s which spawned bands like Green River, Mother Love Bone, and the Screaming Trees--as well as groundbreaking independent labels like K Records and Sub Pop. This book is a compelling, fiercely opinionated chronicle of the musical landscape of an era--the fellow bands, the scenes, the friends and allies, and the ever-present drug dealers. Drawn from hundreds of original interviews, this book is the final, devastating word on Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, and Northwest grunge.;

He also introduced Kurt Cobain to Courtney Love, performed onstage with Nirvana on numerous occasions, and famously pushed Kurt onto the stage of the Reading Festival in 1992 in a wheelchair. This book 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 (and yes, it was a suicide). Everett True captures what the band was really like, from their blue-collar beginnings in Aberdeen to bewildering worldwide stardom.
