Nirvana's Krist Novoselic is 'Standing With Eddie Vedder and the Real Possibility of Peace'

Grunge

Cubs fan Eddie Vedder made some controversial remarks this week about the conflict going on in Israel (and sang “Imagine” in response to critics). Fellow Seattle rocker Krist Novoselic, who in his own words is “Best Known For Playing Bass On All Those Nirvana Records”, but “Can Get Into Wonky Politics,” posted his own reaction earlier this week. If you missed it, it starts off:

Thank you Eddie Vedder for speaking up for peace in our world. Eddie has gotten some criticism over comments he made about the conflict between the Palestinians and Israelis. That situation has been messed up for so long, it is no wonder that even mentioning it is toxic. Let’s face it, the relationship between the Palestinians and the Israelis is a disaster! I don’t know how many times I have heard the same explanations and excuses and it matters not, there is a continuing catastrophe between those two peoples.

Read the rest with some videos at Krist’s blog (where he also posted “Give Peace a Chance”), and check out his original, similar article that appeared in Seattle Weekly in 2009.
