In its quest to combat the technolo-gy that allows viewer to “zap” the commercials, “tuneout,” or eliminate advertising, did the advertising worldinvent “integration” (putting the product in to the pro-gramming) rather than make the commercials loveable,hummable units of entertainment themselves?

NIRVANA – THE LYRICSHal LeonardThe effect that Kurt Cobain,Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohlhave had upon contemporarymusic is immeasurable. Bycombining their varied influ-ences, they created a distinct

voice that hit the right chord with the music world at thattime. Their undisputed reign as the purveyors of a boldnew generation of music came to an abrupt and tragicend when Cobain took his own life in April of 1994. Thelegacy left behind is recorded in this insightful book ofthe words that shook the music world. It presents thelyrics with little interference or interpretation so thatthey can speak for themselves. In the quiet absence ofthe music, the lyrics – for 67 songs, including all of theircommercial releases, plus all B sides and selected rarecuts – take on a life of their own. This poetic approachto the band whose work had such an impact, both thenand now, will give fans and readers something new thatthey can take back to the listening experience of theirfavorite Nirvana songs.______00331147 Hardcover w/Dust Jacket
