“Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nirvana is a symphony of rage and angst by a band with an innate sense of dynamics and a pile-driver beat. Hooray, posthumously, for Kurt Cobain, an anti-hero who screamed so that we should not have to scream. (Although most of us still scream along)
With David Grohl’s head-banging, hair-tossing, full-body drumming and Kurt’s good looks and “I was over it 20 years ago” delivery, it’s easy to lose track of bassist Krist Novoselic, whom I just learned co-founded the band,
He’s integral too, supporting the song with four-chord equations so simple and catchy that the only possible answer is a mosh pit.
