Saw Kurt Cobain buy an NME, a Village Voice, and a porn magazine at a news shop in Alphabet City, NYC (Avenue A, between 8th and 9th, to be exact) in 1989. Exchanged words about the Nirvana gig the night before, and agreed to meet at a New Music Seminar event the next evening. He never showed up. Didnn't stop me from writing an (as yet unpublished) biography of Cobain (entitled "Grunge Pedal") from 1996 to 1998 while I was largely unemployed and very creative, fresh out of graduate school (Comparative Lit PhD.) and newly moved to Leipzig, Germany with beautiful new German wife. Does anyone know a publisher?
Before They Were Famous
What artists did you see on the way up, before superstardom?
Anyone lucky enough to see the Beatles in Germany? If so, the thread should stop there. Until then, I have two. Aerosmith played at my high school Junior Prom, Stepinac High School in White Plains, N.Y., and I was lucky enough to see John Belushi do Joe Cocker in "Lemmings" at the Village Gate in N.Y.C. around 1970, just before SNL.
