Overview

Neil Young, also known as The Godfather Of Grunge, acquires this title by releasing...a mellow, mostly acoustic album name-checking his most famous, middle of the road singer-songwriter effort from two decades earlier. Meanwhile, before almost anyone ever heard the term ""grunge,"" a little revolutionary road festival with a strange name launched the alternative music revolution. Until about six months later, when everyone suddenly agreed that it didn't, and handed off credit for this to Nirvana instead. These and many other incongruities of the early 1990s music scene are examined at great length. With additional in depth explorations of Smashing Pumpkins, Primus, and some pioneering Lollapalooza lineups, author Jason McGathey continues his ""Stop Rewind Fast Forward"" series documenting yet another pivotal year in the history of popular music as we know it - and also as we only think we know it.
