This is probably one of the things I miss most — not being able to call her, talk, and get her perspective.
But I still hear her voice and I want to share one of my favorite things she ever told me as it is the best advice ever. I can see her and hear her Virginian accent saying those very words while she laughed a little wicked laugh and quieted any further probing!
As Nevermind hits its 30th anniversary, I was curious to discover how the album personally affected fans and musicians around the world. These varied global exchanges much aided by modern tech reinforced Nevermind's classic album status; like all great pop culture, it fires shots across distance and time. More like this: - An anthem that stuns each new generation - Our most misunderstood love song? Keshavarz is now a NYC-based media strategist, human rights activist and founder of media firm The Make Agency, but back then, she was booking indie gigs at the Old Fire House Teen Centre in Redmond, near Seattle: a pioneering city initiative where youth were enabled to reclaim and run community space.
She was already familiar with Nirvana; some time before, a schoolfriend had handed her a tape by his cousin Kurt, who'd been crashing in his basement "It was a black cassette tape with the title 'Bleach' [Nirvana's first album] in white-out [pen].
I listened, and it was just bonkers and really cool," she smiles. Keshavarz describes the transformative atmosphere of the Old Fire House "We got to use that space as young people wanted, so invariably it became a political space, a music space, a gathering space" ; it was also frequented by varied musicians, including members of Dinosaur Jr, riot grrrl pioneers Bikini Kill, Chris Cornell, and Cobain.
Kurt was one of them," says Keshavarz. At high school, there was no space to be subversive. Punk rock was where I felt most at home. When Nirvana released Nevermind in September on major label Geffen, following the band's emergence on Seattle indie SubPop , the album's explosive success followed a European tour and proved a shock to the mainstream system Geffen president Ed Rosenblatt described it as "one of those 'get out of the way and duck' records".
Back on the Seattle DIY scene, the mood was less celebratory: "My memory of Nevermind is that it felt like a betrayal," says Keshavarz. In retrospect, I have great sympathy for the band, because I think they legitimately made beautiful music that touched people's hearts.
In fact, I remember visiting Iran soon after Nevermind came out, and smuggling in tapes to play to friends and relatives; you'd see their faces, like: 'What is this? It's kinda cool… can I get a copy?
We knew rents and ticket prices would go up, and we were really protective of our spaces. Kurt would often turn up at the Old Fire House and just be quiet in a corner; he was a gentle soul, and everybody loved him — yet sometimes, he wouldn't be welcome, depending on who was playing, because the anger levels were high. That must have been hurtful. Nevermind has reportedly sold over 30 million copies worldwide, making it one of the biggest albums in music history. It also arguably forged a kind of globalised youth culture, fuelled by the increasing reach of MTV which had its videos, including Smells Like Teen Spirit, on heavy rotation.
