    The Passions of Krist

    Benjamin Franklin. Alexander Hamilton. Krist Novoselic? He may not have his face on U.S. currency yet, but in the decade since Nirvana’s demise, the bass guitarist and grunge pioneer has undergone a political awakening of which the Founding Fathers would likely approve. Novoselic, 39, has used his influence to found JAMPAC (the Joint Artists and Music Promotions Political Action Campaign) and combat the Erotic Music Law (which banned the sale of “erotic” music to minors) and the Teen Dance Ordinance (which restricted admission into all-ages venues). His first book, Of Grunge and Government: Let’s Fix This Broken Democracy! (RDV/Akashic Books), is a passionate and persuasive account of his personal and political journey, as well as an argument for some much-needed electoral reforms. From his home in southwest Washington, Novoselic talked about injecting this year’s election with his own brand of common sense.Read More

    Boy Wonder: Patrick Fugit

    It's been two years since Patrick Fugit made his unforgettable film debut, as a wide-eyed adolescent rock journalist in Almost Famous. Now the actor, who turns 20 this month, has his innocence tested in White Oleander (opening October 11), in which he plays the devoted boyfriend of the film's heroine, a victim of troubled foster homes, played by Alison Lohman. Fugit talked with Spin from the comfort of his tricked-out bachelor pad in Salt Lake City (a.k.a. his parents' basement).Read More
