[kj] Nirvana bassist starts Seattle Weekly blog; 1st post discusses anarchism & punk rock

[Alexander Smith]

I've always liked the Foo Fighters. Never had a single problem with  
them (apart from that last album). Nirvana were a fine little -- if  
woefully derivative -- band (I'm not just talking about "Come As You  
Are"). That they've become slavishly deified and a magnet for  
revisionist graveside groupies has simply made me tolerance for their  
music evaporate.
