Chapter 8 is not really a large montage of scenarios, so I'll sum it up. This chapter touches upon some controversy about the 1992 MTV VMA's. Kurt was supposed to play the smash hit 'Smells like Teen Spirit', or any other song off their multi-platinum album, Nevermind. They wanted to show off one of two new songs; 'Rape Me' or 'New Poopy'. Both were off the list as far as MTV were concerned. They made the compromise not to play 'Smells like teen Spirit', but 'Lithium'. Nirvana had begun with the intro to 'Rape Me' though... but continued with 'Lithium'. The rest of that chapter goes into boring things. Like Record related matters, Press related matters, Band member issues, and the much anticipated 'In Utero', the album after 'Nevermind'.
Chapter 9 is a short conclusion to this most interesting novel. It talks about how Nirvana got boo'ed off stage at a New York show when they introduced an Acoustic segment of their show. It talks about how they did not give into pressures like that, and how that being a rock star wasn't a joke to Cobain; that it was his life. A reference to his suicide note was made, discussing how Courtney Love was answering the open ended questions in the note that he had written. It also discussed how Kurt had seemed happier than usual. Although, a reference was made about how he showed symptoms of manic depression. He had 'locked himself into his own cycle of incredible ups and crippling downs." The rest of this chapter discussed issues that Nirvana had been involved with in the matters of other bands; such as Pearl Jam, Van Halen, and The Melvins.
I do not have an open ended quesion for you all. So please, ignore my reality, and substitute your own; bring about YOUR questions, the questions that are important.
