....And Now, a Word from Krist himself.

Somewhere I have heard this before
In a dream my memory has stored
--Nirvana

The other half of Nirvana (sorry Dave, drummers didn't count for much in this band), Krist Novoselic, has become a political figure. True. Dylan shills for Victoria Secret, Lenny for the Gap (Seriously? No, really?), Bono shakes hands with dictators and Ozzie is a actor. Oh yeah, and Madonna has become 'respectable'. Sorta. I guess this story fits on this page, and I'm not dissing Krist or anyone else, but this is a real shock considering the headspace that Nirvana occupied in the early nineties.

Benjamin Franklin. Alexander Hamilton. Krist Novoselic? He may not have his face on U.S. currency yet, but in the decade since Nirvana’s demise, the bass guitarist and grunge pioneer has undergone a political awakening of which the Founding Fathers would likely approve. Novoselic, 39, has used his influence to found JAMPAC (the Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Campaign) and combat the Erotic Music Law (which banned the sale of “erotic” music to minors) and the Teen Dance Ordinance (which restricted admission into all-ages venues). His first book, Of Grunge and Government: Let’s Fix This Broken Democracy! (RDV/Akashic Books), is a passionate and persuasive account of his personal and political journey, as well as an argument for some much-needed electoral reforms. From his home in southwest Washington, Novoselic talked about injecting this year’s election with his own brand of common sense.
