Cristy Convinces William That Nirvana Is Important (MP3)

William - I'd like to hear your pre-Cristy position on Nirvana. I think you rolled over too easily on that audio clip. Cristy - C'mon. Nirvana was a good band, yes; but don't you think they would've been easily replaceable as the godfathers of their genre? I think it was the idea of Nirvana that was important. They were in the right time and right place and had an effective marketing machine behind them (which I believe you did mention, William). Grunge would have taken off with or without Nirvana. — Chad Scoggins
