Nirvana revisited

The material from these interviews has been used in several books -- not least of which is St. Thomas’s own Nirvana: The Chosen Rejects (St. Martin’s/Griffin) – probably because it was one of the last times the band spoke openly before the shitstorm of instant celebrity caught them by the throat. As subsequent biographers have pointed out, not everything they said was true, but it was as accurate an account of their pre-fame careers as they ever gave.
