JACQUES TALK: NIRVANA 30 YEARS LATER MICHAEL AZERRAD

September 10, 2021 marks the 30-year anniversary of one of the biggest game-changers in the history of popular music. A somewhat unheard of grunge band called Nirvana unleashed the single “Smells Like Teen Spirit” - a bombastic, relentless, driving anthem that thundered across America like a giant earthquake. Lead vocalist Kurt Cobain became a rock superstar overnight, while the album Nevermind would sell over 10 million copies. Michael Azerrad is an American author, music journalist, editor, and musician. A graduate of Columbia University, he has written for publications such as Spin, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. His Nirvana biography Come As You Are has been named one of the greatest books in rock history.
