In 1991, Nirvana played in Dallas, in the US state of Texas, a concert that ended up going down in history for the worst reasons.
In 2020, the documentary "Everything Is A-OK" brought together the promoter of that concert, who said that it all started when, after being told that a protective barrier was needed between the stage and the audience, he was forced to place a group security guard in front of the band.
At one point, Cobain jumped into the crowd with his guitar, irritating security - which led one of them to push the musician back onto the stage. Cobain ended up hitting him with his guitar, immediately receiving a punch from the same security guard and forcing Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic to separate them.
Sister Rosetta Tharpe is credited as the Godmother of Rock ‘N’ Roll. Before Elvis, Johnny Cash or Little Richard, there was Sister Tharpe- A Black woman who forged her own sound in a male dominated industry. She does not get the credit she deserves.
More on Vince Staples talking about Mac’s heart and the type of person he was:
“The thing about Mac is that it was all pure. The mixtape we did that he made all the beats for, it took a long a$$ time to make. He had patience, he was sending me sht while he was on tour like ‘oh just stay at the house I’ll be back in a couple days, there’s some food in there’ he was just that type of guy.
When we was doing the paperwork [for the mixtape]…he didn’t want no credit no royalties or nothing…[he just said] If you make $10M buy me an E-Class [Mercedes Benz]. 😂
Going to his house and meeting his parents, he was raised right and he was a good mf…He a once in a lifetime mf. It made me start treating people better.”
Love hearing more about these stories and celebrating the life of Mac 🙏🏼 Shoutout to Vince for sharing and Back on Figg for providing a platform to have this conversation.
