In a bookshop, I spy the Kurt Cobain diaries and take a quick look. The book falls open at a late entry that refers to Calvin Johnson of the band Beat Happening and legendary indie label K Records:
<i>"Last year I made five million dollars. And I'm not given a red cent of it to that elitist fuck Calvin Johnson."</i>
Later on he talks about how selling out feels good. I'm paraphrasing from memory here (feel free to correct me if you have the diaries to hand):
<i>"I exploited Riot Grrl. But then, the girl who invented it is exploiting the fact that she fucked me, so she's exploiting me too. Everything is exploitation of a kind."</i>
I presume he means her out of Bikini Kill, now in Le Tigre.
