Duff McKagan vs. Kurt Cobain conspiracy theorist (full story here).
From Duff McKagan’s Seattle Weekly column on Tuesday’s Nevermind Live show at the Experience Music Project:
There was a tension at EMP on Tuesday. A tension caused by what I believe to be a collective fear of “Is this the right thing to do?” I could see it in the artists’ faces backstage. I could see it in the audience’s faces when I came out sidestage. I saw it in my own face when I looked in the mirror. The only guy who seemed totally at ease, and full of grace and calm, was Krist Novoselic, Nirvana’s stalwart bassist and a special guest on the night’s bill.
I literally forgot the words to “Lithium” right as my band went onstage. Yes. I was freaked out. But I saw Krist sending a big smile from the side of the stage. It gave me the confidence to ask the crowd to help me sing. They did. I think that is all that was needed, too. The audience sang the whole damn song, and thankfully, very loudly. Suddenly, it seemed like old-school Seattle again.
