Kurt Cobain & Krist Novoselic finally decided to fire Foster after he was arrested for assaulting the son of the mayor in Cosmopolis, Washington. He [Dave Foster] was never told he was being let go from the band, he realized his release after seeing a poster featuring ‘Butthole Surfers & Blood Circus w/ Nirvana in Seattle’.
Fan request, Kurt Cobain’s letters to Bikini Kill. He writes about the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” music videos ideas, the entertainment industry, “things that have been taken”, drugs, almost being killed by ‘gang members’ with Dave Grohl & Franz Stahl, & much more.
Kurt’s ‘marketing’ ideas for the album “Sheep”, later named “Nevermind”. “Nirvana can’t decide whether they want to be Punk or R.E.M. Indecision can often at times kill a band and Nirvana are suicidal.”
Kurt on Rock music, 1993:
“Nirvana will put out a couple of more brilliant albums on their own terms and then become frustrated with being so close to general public acceptance and so financially in debt, that they will eventually result in releasing spineless dance music like Gang of Four.”
