"Fiercely radical in his politics, manifesting them in the way he lived his life and made his art, Kurt was able to convey his beliefs without having to resort to sermonizing. I doubt Nirvana would have ever taken the eventual Bruce Springsteen-Pearl Jam route of using the stage not only as a soapbox, but to promote some sort of 'dialogue' with fans. Kurt was far too direct for an approach like that; he made it plain: if you had, in his words, 'redneck' beliefs, he didn't want you at his shows or championing his music. There was no room for negotiation, and no patience for trying to change your mind. You either got it or you didn't." [Billboard]
