Nirvana’s ride was a wild one—and all too brief. Discover the full story here.
A very good coffee table book for the Nirvana fan. Goes over their early history a lot…after 1992 rolls around there is some hand waiving because, let’s face it, not the best of times. The book doesn’t pull too many punches either…Cobain in particular comes under criticism for his dance between wanting fame and wanting to be left alone, his drug abuse, his handling of the media, his quest to be in control of the band. Lots of cool pictures and good analysis of the different albums and such.
I’ll just continue to eat this stuff up. I know I will.
