Nirvana: In the Words of the People Who Were There

by Carrie Borzillo-Vrenna

With his personal magnetism and unequalled gift for articulating the chaotic emotions of his generation, Kurt Cobain still exerts a powerful influence in the rock world. Featuring quotes and interviews from close friends and musical associates who watched Cobain's story unfold firsthand—including some who have never spoken about him before—this unique volume commemorates the 20th anniversary of his death and his years with Nirvana. Illustrated with more than 150 photographs, and including every significant event in the band's lifetime from its inception right through to Kurt Cobain's tragic suicide, Nirvana  comes as close to a day-by-day log as a fan can get.

A must read for a fan .. insight's, conversation's & a constant feel of impending doom. A beautiful but troubled boy matched with an amazing talent, coupled with understanding & talented bandmate's who probably alway's knew that no matter what they did, or the band, or the money, wouldn't make the slightest difference on the outcome. Brillantly written ... well done Carrie. X

What I like about this book is that it is good for people who are not familiar with the band Nirvana . It's also in chronological time order by events . It has great detail,pictures, and quotes from the very own band members including Kurt Cobain
