People also talk about selling out when you got big. That
"if you've sold a lot of records, there's something wrong." KURT:
It's too far beyond that now. It's far beyond that now. It's been going on for so long now. That issue doesn't even come up anymore.
MusicMania (to guitarist Pat Smear, who was playing with Nirvana
during this tour): When the camera isn't on you, you're quite animated and interesting. So how was the show for you tonight?
PAT: I loved it.
MusicMania:
You were bouncing around...
PAT: I had a good time!
MusicMania: Who got hit in the head with the stick pin?
DAVE: Me.
KURT: I got a bra.
DAVE: Wow.
KURT:
My first bra.
PAT: I got a Germs t-shirt.
DAVE: Someone threw you a Germs t-shirt? That's cool!
PAT: It was used.
KURT: Wow.
MusicMania:
A lot of shoes coming over...
PAT: What's up with shoes? Who would throw their shoes?
DAVE: There's only one that comes up. They go home hopping.
MusicMania: Someone at the
station is doing a piece on men wearing dresses in rock 'n' roll this year. And it is mostly a RuPaul thing. But they asked me to ask you why you would choose to wear a dress on stage.
KURT:
Comfortable? I don't know.
KRIST: The Rolling Stones wore dresses.
KURT:
It's nothing new. It's been going on for years and years and years and I don't understand why it's an issue still. But it seems like when bands do it now, even when we do it, it is so exhausted. I don't know...I personally like to wear dresses and I wear them around the house sometimes. So, whatever.
PAT: The one dress I own Courtney gave to me. Well she didn't give it to me, she left it at my house.
KURT: Courtney has good taste in dresses.
PAT:
Excellent. Norma Kamali. Ah! Looks so good on me!
KURT:
I guess it's just I think a lot of bands do it to show their support for femininity and the female gender. I did it the first time when we played with the Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam, when we went on that tour with them. I was at the height of freaking out about playing big places and I was convinced that a lot of people out there in the audience, you know, a lot of macho people would freak out about it and it would create a little controversy. I don't know if it did or not.
