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.
