I lived in Denver in the early eighties, and I had friends in a band called the Fluid, who played on the subpop label and toured with Nirvana, Mudhoney and Soundgarten. They cut a few albums but unfortunately, even though they were great, they did not match the future stardom of their subpop peers. The music scene at that time in Denver was akin to that of Seattle as well as San Francisco, the punk/grunge scene was incestual in that one minute you're a fan, the next minute you're in a band, the next minute you're a fan again, and everybody knew everybody else. The music was amazing and I'm glad to have experienced it. I will never forget (and neither will any of my friends, as I've only told them this story about 900 times) seeing Nirvana in a small club with maybe 75 people in the audience. They were playing on a low stage. I stood about three feet away from Cobain, his bleached, sweaty hair all over his face...he was screaming at the top of his lungs--I could see the veins standing out on his neck...the guitar was deafening, unbelievably loud. I was paralyzed by the moment, and I barely knew who he was.

hey I dig this article a lot, and have very strong feelings for grunge music. I was thinkin the same thing to myself today, if the 80s music came back, maybe the early 90s could as well. Although I play in a reggae/rock band (myspace.com/jacuzzifuzz) which is inspired by this music, I hope to see more appreciation for that era of music, and would like to see more songs with feeling and meaning around, rather than the cliche cop-out crap it takes to get on the radio nowadays.

Thank you for taking the time to reflect on such a monumental time in America's musical landscape. I feel lucky to have come of age at a time when music was so authentic. I was 12 or 13 the first time I heard Nirvana and something inside me just clicked with it. I was too young and probably took it for granted, not realizing the staleness that had preceded "grunge". But needless to say I am always fond of that era and appreciated your article.

Sure, 40s, blunts and biches are all still very *relevant.* No one with any music sense can push aside those who influenced rock, grunge and all that hippy stuff. I was a Hip Hop head back in those days (still am), and those albums still resonate. Whatever your preference I like to think it all *matters* regardless of the skin color of the artist(s). After all Sly and the Family Stone was a mixed race band and we all know about Hendrix. Lighten up DB.

When will people learn it's never the white music that matters? NWA and The Chronic are as relevant today as they were in the late 80s and early 90s. Same with Parliament, Sly Stone, Otis Redding and some people named Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf who inspired all that long-haired hippy rock stuff.
