Episode 10 of Rock is Lit features Jennifer Haupt’s novel ‘Come As You Are’, a story set against the backdrop of the Seattle grunge scene of the early 1990s. In this outtake from that interview, I talk with Jennifer about lost and deferred dreams—for the characters in her novel and for herself—and the difference in her reaction to publishing her first novel and this one. 

Listen to Episode 10, then check out other bonus material in the Rock is Lit Vault, including my full, uncut interview with Charles R. Cross about Kurt Cobain, and outtakes from my interview with Nabil Ayers about his memoir, ‘My Life in the Sunshine’, and his experience meeting Joan Jett back in the day.

Jennifer Haupt is here to talk about her new novel, ‘Come As You Are’. Set against a backdrop of Seattle in the early '90s, ‘Come As You Are’ is a compelling love story and family drama that addresses the question: Can we alter our dreams and stories from the past to create a better future for our children?

In the second half of the show, we’re joined by two giants of the real Seattle grunge world: music journalist Charles R. Cross, author of the award-winning 2001 biography on Kurt Cobain, ‘Heavier Than Heaven’, and Nabil Ayers, co-founder of Seattle’s iconic Sonic Boom Records store and author of the new memoir ‘My Life in the Sunshine’. Charles and Nabil share their memories of and insight into that pivotal moment in music history.

Episode 10 of Rock is Lit features Jennifer Haupt’s novel ‘Come As You Are’, a story set against the backdrop of the Seattle grunge scene of the early 1990s. 

Joining Jennifer and me on that episode to share their memories of that pivotal moment in music history to add real-world context to Jennifer’s novel are Nabil Ayers, co-founder of Seattle’s iconic record store Sonic Boom and author of the memoir ‘My Life in the Sunshine’, about his efforts to connect with his father, the funk, soul, and jazz legend Roy Ayers; and Charles R. Cross, author of the award-winning 2001 biography on Kurt Cobain, ‘Heavier Than Heaven’. 

My conversation with Charles went on much longer than I’d anticipated when we began talking, and I could only fit a fraction of it in the regular episode. What Charles had to say about Kurt Cobain was so fascinating and astute, based on his extensive research into Kurt’s life and career, Charles’s extraordinary access to Kurt’s private papers via Kurt’s widow, Courtney Love, and Charles’s unique position as the editor of the Seattle music magazine ‘The Rocket’ before, during, and after the Seattle grunge explosion of the early ‘90s, a position that put him in direct contact with Kurt Cobain several times, that I decided to make the whole uncut interview with Charles available here.

There are short outtakes from my interviews with Jennifer and Nabil in the Vault as well, which I hope you’ll listen to. But for now, light a candle, drop the needle on track three of ‘Nevermind’, and come as you are to hear Charles R. Cross talk about the genius and demons of Nirvana’s front man and primary songwriter, Kurt Cobain.

KEY QUOTES AND TEASERS:

What was Kurt’s relationship with Courtney Love like? What did Kurt think of the Weird Al parody of “Smells Like Teen Spirit? Why does Charles think Nirvana never could have happened in the Facebook era? Listen to the uncut interview to find out why.

Charles: “[Nirvana] weren’t great at the start. They were not the best band in Seattle in 1988, 1989, and 1990. They were the best band in Seattle in 1991.”

Charles: “Kurt’s greatest gift is that when he sang, you felt like he was singing to you.”

Today's interview is with a Woodstock veteran from a band labelled the 'bad boys of rock' after a stint in jail. I'm talking about Canned Heat star Fito de la Parra! 

Fito tells some brilliant stories from his 55 year career with the group like how they had to sign away their future publishing rights to secure release from prison, how the Mob shut them down from playing, stories from behind the big hits and of course from his experience at that very special festival in 1969!

Canned Heat broke through the LA scene in the 60s alongside the likes of Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead and Buffalo Springfield and went on to achieve huge success around the world with legendary songs like "Going Up The Country", "Let's Work Together" and "On The Road Again."

It wouldn't be fair to ring in a new season without bringing a little insanity. This week English singer, songwriter, and nihilistic philosopher Barns Courtney joins the Tunes & Tumblers crew to talk about his latest song "Supernatural," wax poetic about the end of the world, and share an espresso-infused cocktail to get the manic energy gushing like a firehose. And did we mention he did all this while running a 100+ degree fever right before a show? Sip on all that chaotic energy and more, fam. Cheers!
