Krist Novoselic citáty

Krist Anthony Novoselic je americký muzikant a politik, nejvíce známý jako baskytarista grungeové skupiny Nirvana. V písni Jesus Doesn´t Want Me for a Sunbeam z alba MTV Unplugged in New York hraje na akordeon.

Jméno Novoselic v originále zní Novoselić, jeho rodiče byli chorvatští přistěhovalci.

Roku 1979 se s rodiči přestěhoval do Aberdeenu ve státě Washington. Nebyl zde moc spokojen a často trpěl depresemi, protože ho místní vrstevníci neměli příliš v oblibě – snažil se, aby se to změnilo . Mezitím si oblíbil Black Sabbath a Led Zeppelin. Rodiče ho na rok poslali za dědou do Jugoslávie, kde studoval gymnázium a také zde poznal punk, po roce se však vrátil.

Po dokončení střední školy založil skupinu Stiff Woodies, která ale dlouho nevydržela. V té době se setkal s Kurtem Cobainem a založili kapelu Fecal Matter a později Nirvanu. Po rozpadu Nirvany působil v kapelách Sweet 75 a Eyes Adrift. Hostoval ve Foo Fighters. Wikipedia

Krist Novoselic: Citáty anglicky

“We weren't really interested in those bands; we were—because we came out of this subterranean scene. And then Nirvana breaks big, and it's just diametrically opposite: we have, like, facial hair, and just, kind of, logger shirts, but we're all, like, "sensitive" and "feminine"—you know what I mean?”

“I voted last week, and everything I voted for was defeated. I voted for less police station money and against adding more courtrooms. The guy I voted for, a congressman, lost big time because he's totally anti-military. He wanted to cut the CIA budget! He's really cool. But he lost.”

“Nick Gillespie: So, um, how do you self-describe politically?
Krist Novoselic: I'm a, what, an anarcho-capitalist socialist…I don't know…I'm kinda a moderate, I think I'm moderate.
Nick Gillespie: So you're an anarcho-capitalist socialist moderate.
Krist Novoselic: I mean I'm a gun-owning pacifist, so there you go. I'm an anarcho-socialist—you know what I mean?
Nick Gillespie: Anarcho-socialist—

Video interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWU2aljeMqE, 1991

“Well, I think it just goes back to the values that I grew up with in the punk rock world because it was this decentralised world, and so we just made our own way— like we'd be antigovernment or, you know— but we really didn't complain a lot; we were more action-oriented, like, people were publishing fanzines, we were setting up shows, we were getting in vans and touring around, and we were associating with other people, so…y'know, I just like that idea.”

“Yeah, I was a Democrat for about four or five years— active Democrat— and I thought I could reform the party; maybe I wasn't going about it right, maybe somebody can and somebody will, y'know? But I don't see it. It's just a top-down structure, it's a soft-money conduit, and, y'know, and like Nancy Pelosi, she's gonna lose the election again, and it's just like, what's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing—wrong, wrong thing—over and over again. Republicans, they have a real big demographic problem, because they're the party of old white people, and they're not reaching out to folks.”
