Krist Novoselic
Author and Former Musician

A member of the groundbreaking rock band Nirvana, Krist Novoselic,
along with band mates, Kurt Cobain and David Grohl, changed the course
of music history when they snapped up Billboard Magazine's number one
spot with their much-acclaimed album Nevermind.  In doing so, Nirvana
opened the doors for a flood of a new generation of bands.
After Nirvana, Novoselic went on to become one of rock's most
politically minded musicians.  Novoselic has also committed himself to
numerous different community projects and has become an influential
part of the Northwest political scene.

Krist has written a new book called "Of Grunge & Government: Let's Fix This Broken Democracy!" In the book Novoselic discusses how Nirvana emerged as the world's biggest band of the early 1990s, how he got involved in politics and why we need electoral reform --  in particular full representation and instant runoff voting.

Novoselic's book hit your local bookstores in September, and he is on a national tour on its behalf. (See full schedule below.) His talks at bookstores focus on changing winner-take-all elections.

Novoselic has also been featured in the media.  His October 16th talk was covered on C-SPAN's "Book TV." He discussed his book and reform options in an interview on October 8 and his tour was covered on October 11 by the New Yorker.
