Charles Cross and Everett True

Two books that I have and tend to go back to fairly frequently for references are Everett True’s Nirvana – The True Story (2006) and Charles Cross’ Cobain Unseen (2008). Once I understood what kind of impact Chris Newman and Napalm Beach had musically in Portland and Seattle, I realized there was something really wrong, in that almost without exception, Newman’s work is omitted from histories. Everett True’s book is an example of that. A few months ago I realized that a page was missing from the book, specifically the index page which would have had a reference to Napalm Beach, had Napalm Beach not been blacklisted. Then, a few days ago, I found the page – someone had torn it out of the Everett True book, and put it inside the Charles Cross book, here.
