The James Logan Courier

By Jack Bragg, Courier Entertainment Editor

Few albums have so large an impact that they change the scope of the genre they encapsulate. In 1991, Nirvana’s smash-hit album Nevermind did just that. Before Nevermind, grunge rock was a strange subgenre of alternative rock. By 1992, the success of Nirvana’s debut made grunge rock the most talked about and influential format for a rock band in the early 90’s. Now twenty years later, we still can see the many artistic and aesthetic features that made Nirvana one of the biggest bands in history.

From wikipedia:
Arthur Buchwald (October 20, 1925 – January 17, 2007) was an American humorist best known for his long-running column in The Washington Post, which in turn was carried as a syndicated column in many other newspapers. His column focused on political satire and commentary. He received the Pulitzer Prize for Outstanding Commentary in 1982 and in 1986 was elected to the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.

Buchwald was also known for the Buchwald v. Paramount lawsuit, which he and partner Alain Bernheim filed against Paramount Pictures in 1988 in a controversy over the Eddie Murphy film Coming to America; Buchwald claimed Paramount had stolen his script treatment. He won, was awarded damages, and then accepted a settlement from Paramount. The case was the subject of a 1992 book, Fatal Subtraction: The Inside Story of Buchwald V. Paramount by Pierce O'Donnell and Dennis McDougal.
