Krist Novoselic rose from the Pacific Northwest’s 1980s underground punk rock scene to earn global fame as bassist with Nirvana. In that Aberdeen-based grunge band’s brief span of activity – from its formation in 1987 to the production of several multi-million-selling albums (including 1989’s Bleach, 1991’s Nevermind, 1992’s Incesticide, 1993’s In Utero, and 1994’s MTV Unplugged in New York), to its demise with the suicide of the band's guitarist/singer Kurt Cobain (1967-1994) – Novoselic won a reputation as a formidable musician, a kind and winsome individual, and a socially aware and active citizen. Born to Croatian-American immigrants, Novoselic is a well-read and -traveled, multilingual Renaissance man who has also contributed to his culture and community as an author, filmmaker, newspaper blogger/columnist, radio host, rural Grange member, political activist, and futurist.

Kurt Cobain and a dream about pop
In the early years of the last decade, we watched the concussive career of the rock band Nirvana -- from early word about an explosive new group from Seattle, to the release of the group's epochal "Nevermind" in September 1991, to the wrenching suicide of its leader, Kurt Cobain, on a sad April day two and a half years later. There are a pair of interesting disconnects between what we lived through then and the story offered by a new biography of Cobain, the group's songwriter and singer. The charismatic, talented and troubled Cobain led the group into a furious and extraordinary career that sold millions of records of caustic and uncompromising rock at a time when radio hated it and it seemed like there was no mass market for it. The new biography is "Heavier Than Heaven," by Charles R. Cross; it's a detailed, comprehensive and dispassionate major look at Cobain's life.
By disconnects, I mean that the story Cross tells us reorients us to what was important about Cobain's life and his death. In a couple of ways it's different from what we thought -- or were, in effect, led to think -- at the time.
