![]() The visit included a stop by Viretta Park, the small haven next to the former home of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love. The park was famous for being a gathering place for Nirvana fans paying their respects, and many fans would leave their messages on a bench in the park. Apparently, the old bench has now been removed (including all the messages from Nirvana fans) and a new one was put up. Below you can see some pictures of the new bench - courtesy of J and The Ultimative Nirvana Tribute Band, Nevermind. Check out their MySpace page here for more pictures. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

![]() As you may remember from the TV broadcast, near the end of the performance, Krist throws his bass high in the air and doesn't quite catch it properly - ending up with a bit of a bruised head! Now, for the first time ever, Krist tells the full story of what happened that night, including the infamous altercation between Kurt, Courtney and Axl Rose beforehand. "They told me that Axl Rose had walked by and Courtney started teasing him. She yelled, 'Axl, Axl—you’re the godfather!' Upon hearing this, Axl apparently got very annoyed, walked over to Kurt, and demanded that he keep his woman in line. Kurt turned to Courtney and sarcastically asked his woman to keep in line and left it at that." From the Seattle Weekly website - read Krist's story here. Watch a video of the performance below (including the bass toss!) Dave Grohl's version of the story from an interview with Dennis Miller: In related Axl Rose news - the first Guns N' Roses studio album of original material since 1991, the fabled Chinese Democracy, is finally released in the US this coming Sunday! | |

![]() In the November 10 New Yorker, there's a short piece about a group of Iraq and Afghanistan vets invited to a performance of Gregory Burke's Iraq-themed play Black Watch: one is retired Army Special Forces vet Jason Everman. Turns out he enlisted in 1994, directly influenced by Renaissance icon Benvenuto Cellini, whose autobiography promotes the ideal of the well-rounded man as artist, warrior and philosopher. Indeed, Everman is currently studying philosophy at Columbia." Thanks to the East Village Radio for the piece. |
