Kerry Brings Together Surviving Members Of Nirvana for First Time

[DrFunkenstein]

John Kerry has a way of bringing people together--at least alt-rock gods, anyway.

Surviving Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic will make their first public appearance together in 10 years today at a Kerry get-out-the-vote event, according to Novoselic's publicist.

While Novoselic is not expected to perform with the Foo Fighter frontman (Grohl has been active playing shows at Kerry fundraisers in Los Angeles), Novoselic and Grohl are expected to make public statements supporting Kerry's run.

Although Grohl and Novoselic have remained close in the years since Kurt Cobain's death, the two have shied away from public events together. According to Nasty Little Man PR, Tuesday's Kerry rally is the first occasion to warrant the former bandmates "pre-announced joint appearance."

10. Grohl Was A Bad Ass Drummer

And not bad as a front man. Not visionary, but not bad. As a drummer, though, he was one of the best, IMHO.

[Guaranteed]

15. Yeah, he was. nt

[tridim]

4. I never knew his name was Krist

I always thought it was Kris. Is that a typo?

Edit: Not complaining, but where was Pap Smear?

8. I think Cobain would've voted for Kerry this time around.

One thing many aren't aware of is that Cobain's revolution was rooted in post-modernism and leftism, as was alternative rock -- not overtly, but thematically. His views were to the left of the Democratic Party, but would probably support Kerry to get Bush out.

9. This is sooo Inspiring ..this is what is needed...

all these musicians and bands Playing and getting OUT THE VOTE!

I am so thrilled by these young patriots~ And old ones..I saw Bruce's concert finale .."Vote For Change" on the internet..Awesome!

[Doosh]

11. Kurt voted for Dukakis in 88'

[secular_warrior]

14. He also voted for Clinton in 1992. (nt)

[Warren DeMontague]

12. Given Kurt's respect for a certain Mr. Stipe....

And his disdain for corporate bullshit, I think it's pretty safe to say he'd be on the Kerry bandwagon.

16. If he could bring back Cobain....damn....
