Here We Are Now: The Lasting Impact Of Kurt Cobain (tvrdi uvez)

Opis

Charles R. Cross, author of the highly regarded, bestselling Kurt Cobain biography Heavier Than Heaven, examines the legacy of the Nirvana frontman and takes on the question: why does Kurt Cobain still matter so much, 20 years after his death?

Kurt Cobain was the voice of a generation. Twenty years after his death, why does he still matter?

Cobain’s life and work can be seen everywhere, from his indelible marks on music to his more subtle influence on gender and gay rights, the way we view suicide and drug addiction, and the very idea of Seattle as a cultural hub.
Nirvana’s music has touched multiple generations, and while the world has changed considerably since Nevermind was first released in 1991, the status of that album only grows as years pass.

Cobain and Nirvana are now part of a rite of passage through adolescence, and while “teen spirit” may have changed and evolved since the early nineties, the music remains authentic all the same.

Simply stated, Kurt Cobain changed the cultural conversation, in his all too brief life, and even after his shattering death. With interviews and commentary from all corners of the pop culture universe, from the people who knew Cobain to those who continue to help his legend grow, Here We Are Now explores what a singular life meant, and how that meaning can be measured, when and if it can be.
