The Fabulous World of Kurt Cobain

Resonance: I loved it! Both very original and very factual. Personally, I find $39.95 a bit expensive, so I'm selling it for $35.

This book is not to be placed alongside traditional biographies. Marc Dufaud takes a completely different path to tell us about a Cobain who was, above all, a huge music fan. We all know his ambivalent relationship with fame, but he never stopped using this rock star posture for his desire, his need, to work as a go-between. Whether he wears the T-shirt of one of his favorite bands, multiplies the covers of obscure combos, imposes them as the opening act for Nirvana and lists them in his Journal, he will have shed light on an indie rock culture absent from the radios which traces its path in parallel. Dive into this fabulously deranged world where Kurt crosses swords with Axl Rose live on MTV under the mocking eye of Metallica , plays with Mark Lanegan , meets Daniel Treacy , kisses Iggy Pop A world populated by dinosaurs and Christian lizards, a world where indie culture and K7 culture from Seattle to Olympia give rise to dozens of labels and the feminism of Riot Grrrls , a hard world haunted by drugs, suicide and murder a world where William Burroughs will make an appearance, etc., etc.
