Nirvana was a total freak of nature, a lot of talent and timing came into play, but none of it, I don't believe was ever forecasted. It just happened. Period. (With the aid of some big label marketing bucks, of course). >> I agree with Neal... of course, I do still own (somewhere) that free Nirvana shirt that Geffen sent along as a "gift" with the new album upon its release. Of course, I stopped wearing it when they became "chic". Now that Swervedriver shirt is another story! <g> (I believe the Nirvana sticker that came around that time is still stuck on the door of the room I was living in at that time, at least someone told me that the ol' "sticker door" was still around) Paul/Pop Booking
