From his relationship with Kurt Cobain to his evolution as a political activist, Novoselics passion, intelligence, and integrity come shining through in this moving and inspirational book.Although Krist Novoselic will undoubtedly be forever best-known as a member of Nirvana, his accomplishments go far beyond that remarkable achievement. Nirvana was a band with a conscience, and as a major label act they regularly played benefits-the first Rock For Choice show, a major concert in support of gay rights, and a legendary gig that raised money for the Balkan Womens Aid Fund.In 1995, Novoselic founded JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Committee), a proactive organization that advocated on behalf of Washington states music community. Novoselics work with JAMPAC helped Seattle club owners find ways to host all-ages shows, and was instrumental in helping to overturn the infamous Teen Dance Ordinance. And sometimes making music and making a statement go hand in hand, as when Novoselic, Soundgardens Kim Thayil, and drummer Gina Mainwal backed Jello Biafra as the No WTO Combo at a show performed during the World Trade Organization conference held in Seattle in 1999.There have been other musical endeavors since Nirvana, as well as new causes (Novoselic is a strong supporter of electoral reform, an issue he has written about about extensively). The one constant is Novoselics desire to continue making progressive contributions to the community-and to keep on making good music.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51327724486944,"sku":"NEW0971920656","price":9.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61RabPdrFKL.jpg?v=1773170872","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/of-grunge-government-lets-fix-this-broken-democracy-0971920656","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
