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.

Great to see an interview with Michael! I've heard rumblings he's trying to publish an annotated version of his "Come As You Are" book. Sign me right up for a day 1 purchase! That book changed my life.

​@Superior Cats I was 10 when Nevermind came out. I loved it to death and listened to it obsessively for almost two years. In 1993, when I was 12 years old, I saw Nirvana live in Massachusetts (a show Michael A. attended I believe). That fall was such a rapid-fire onslaught of awesome new Nirvana material- In Utero, Unplugged, live tour, MTV Live n Loud, MTV Nirvana Past Present and Future, etc. You can imagine my devastation when Kurt died the following spring. Sometime before Kurt died, I saw the book CAYA in a bookstore, and was reading it until my mom took it away from me, saying there was too much drug use for my 12-year old mind to handle. Well, eventually I did get the book, with "new final chapter" that was released after Kurt died and let me tell you, as I said above, that book changed my life. For better or worse, it gave me something to identify with, but the book piqued my curiosity about so many bands and, more importantly, ideas about what being a good person meant. The book really stressed anti-sexism and anti-homophobia, and disrupting authority, and punk rock, and perseverance, and fun, and all that. For an impressionable kid like myself at the time, while the cloud of Kurt's death paints Nirvana with a dark aura, that book itself really became a sort of bible. These days I like to describe Kurt Cobain as a cultural shaman, and that book is a big part should be considered a massive part of the Nirvana canon. It's Michael's book, but it's Kurt's ideas being presented, and he was very progressive, especially for his time, but perhaps today more than ever as well.

I was born in the 60's and love all types of music, from progressive, to Jamaican, to classical, to jazz, to light rock, to hard rock, to rap, to R & B and pop... basically all types of music in any genre from any time period as long as it's good. This covers recordings from the 1920's on through today. Obviously for me the Beatles have always been my favorite, even though later I would fall in love with Elton John, the Moody Blues, Fleetwood Mac and even the Carpenters. So many great tunes from a variety of outstanding artiststs and far too many to list here, and I feel so fortunate to have heard all this great music over the years. But recently radio stations that I've been raised with here in the Bay Area are virtually non-existent now, and so I've resorted to a local college radio station have a variety of DJ's playing different types of music that are more alternative in nature, on the air LIVE 24 hours a day, a classical station in San Francisco and RU-vid. In listening to RU-vid more as my source for music, I stumbled onto more information about artists and music of theirs I'd never known of or heard before (even though I've had favorites by them). One band is T Rex with the song "Bang a Gong (Get it On)"; the other is Nirvana "In Bloom". My whole life I knew nothing about Marc Bolan (T Rex) and his vast creativity in creating new genre's in evolving genre's, who has a great catolog of music I now listen to (the Beatles even stated in an article they were "passing the torch" onto him. Then there's Nirvana and I've always loved their music and get excited and sing along whenever they came on the radio. But I didn't even know about their record "Bleach" and all it's songs, and this made me feel stupid like, "how did I miss this?" I'd never seen or heard any music of theirs recorded live before, with the exception of "Unplugged". Then I watched "Live from the Paramount" and was to totally blown away by the intensity of the shows energy! Now I really prefer Nirvana live and I could never say that about any music from any band, with the exception of "Frampton Comes Alive" or something from the Beatles. But now is pretty much most of what I listen to. But my point to all this is it doesn't matter what generation your in as long as the music is good! Heck, I remember in my 30's my son was 5 years old and he started singing in a happy tune, dancing around the house to "Heart Shaped Box" and he was just 5 years old! That blew my mind! Then he started asking if we could get him "In Utero" for Christmas (of course we did)! So music is very important to people of every generation the world over... and thank God for RU-vid! Thanks for posting this interview! L. Isgrig in Northern, CA - 4/24/23

I love it how Michael admits he lied quite a bit in Come As You Are to suit Courtney's hidden agendas. Read his latest article in The New Yorker.
