Anna Faris says she needs to figure out 'the purpose' of marriage following Chris Pratt split
Desiree Murphy
Anna Faris isn't sure if she'll ever say "I do" again.
The Mom star was recently a guest on Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert podcast, where she opened up about matrimony following her highly publicized split from Chris Pratt last August after eight years of marriage.
"We had an unbelievable marriage and we have a great friendship now," Faris said of her now amicable relationship with Pratt. "And we love our son [5-year-old Jack] to death, and I'm really proud of that, because I'm not sure I did that well the first time."

But after two divorces -- Faris was previously married to Ben Indra from 2004 to 2008 -- she's not sure if she could see herself walking down the aisle a third time.
"I need to figure out what the purpose is," she said of marriage. "Is it safety for your children? Is it convention? Is it so other people respect your relationship more?"
"For me, I'm just not quite sure where it fits," she added.
After announcing they were separating last August, Pratt, 38, and Faris, 41, filed for divorce four months later, with both asking for joint custody of Jack. Faris' memoir, Unqualified, was released amidst their breakup, where she revealed they still had a lot of love for one another.
Throughout the book, she praised the Guardians of the Galaxy star for his unflinching support of her throughout their marriage. "He brought out something in me that made me want to be feminine in a very traditional way," she recalled."When we finally got together, it was hot and heavy in a way that I'd never experienced before. ...I couldn't have fallen more headfirst into my feelings for Chris."

This really is a great sale price for these Wolverine 4661 boots. They are so durable and the comfort is unbelievable. I couldn't ask for a better pair of boots.
I work in the towing and recovery industry, and boots are definitely a 'wear item'. I've been through a lot of brands and styles of boots in my career, and haven't found anything that works as well as these Wolverine boots. I've been beating up a couple of pairs of these particular boots for more than two years now. One of the biggest problems with boots in this business is the dreaded 'toe grind-through' from scraping on the pavement and ground. The armored toe on these boots is TOUGH. I have one pair that's been resoled twice and there's virtually no wear on the toe. This is also one of the few (affordable) boots I've found with a wide toe box, which makes them amazingly comfortable all day long. When your feet are as big as mine, that's a really big deal.......The fact that they are waterproof is only important for about six days a year here in the desert where I live, but you folks in the wet regions NEED THIS BOOT. I don't wear the same pair of boots two days in a row. I have two pairs of these, and as soon as my boots from 'the other guys' wear out, they'll be gladly replaced with these.
My feet are so protected in these Wolverine 4661 boots. the extra over the toe provides so much more protection. Now I have no worries while I am working hard.
I always wear the toes of my boots. Not these boots. The boots are light. They lasted less then a year. But I am hard on boot. The sole in front is smooth now. I am also on my second pair of laces. I put wolverine spray sealant and the are still water resistant. The only thing I can say bad is the boots ran a little bigger than other wolverine boots.
Philadelphia union millwright approves this boot. The sole lasts me a year so I replace them happily! Nothing else gets worn on this boot...still even water proof. I get the extra wide 11.5ew for the extra toe space and put a high arch insert in on top of original....works great! I've always worn wolverine's and hopefully they continue this boot for.thirty more years...cause that's at least 30 pairs sold! Thanks for the Crawford's!
Wolverine Boots: Men's 4661 Crawford 6 Inch Steel Toe Boots is being added to your cart.


Quil Lemons travelled to the New York coast for this shoot that sees him capture his model in a setting he describes as "the end of the Earth". The scenery moves from winding grassland paths to imposing sand cliffs that both merge into a sense of serenity and mystery. Inspired by the word freedom, the photographer chose to showcase the body in a elegant and uncontrived way.

Last Saturday there was a drift event being held at Five Flags Speedway in Pensacola FL. A friend and I decided to go take some pictures and work on our action shots and it was a complete blast. It's cool going to events like this where everyone is learning and you can watch the improvement throughout the day. There's some choice photos I managed to take after the jump, but for now enjoy some of the spectator cars right before sundown!

GROUP LAUNCHES SAFETY CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT PUPILS IN SCHOOLS
Worried by the increased cases of violence and insecurity across the country, particularly in schools, the Nigerian Safe School Initiative has launched the 'Safe School Year Awareness Campaign'.
The campaign according to the convener, Mr Oshunmakinde Adedayo, is designed to foster collaboration amongst academic communities, the government, civil society, religious groups, parents and students on how to work together towards creating schools that are welcoming, safe and inclusive.
Adedayo who lamented the security situation in Nigerian schools especially in the north east where students are not only killed but injured and abducted, said the campaign would step up actions on how to better protect Nigerian schools against all forms of violence and potential threats, which can endanger the objectives of education if no measure is taken.
Through the campaign, activities like training, community sensitisation and emergency preparedness drills are packaged to help prepare the academic communities for unforeseen challenges, awaken the courage of adults and children on school safety matters, and also coordinate the security of schools across the country as well as the communities in which they are located.
He said, "This campaign awareness is being envisioned by National Intelligence Department for School Safety (NIDSS), an arm of MYK Crime Control Services, in collaboration with Women Advocate for Safer Schools Network and other security agencies. It seeks to mobilise parents, policymakers, school officials, students and religious groups across the nation.
Purportedly, this initiative defines everyone's role as per school safety matters, and ready to connect voices as against any anti-social behaviour within the school environment, and that of the security challenges confronting the society which children are the most vulnerable of.
"The goals of this campaign awareness is to educate the audience on the elements of school safety, engage all stakeholders in making more schools safer, and facilitate the development of strategic plans that will effectively address each school's unique safety and security concerns. Intimidation, harassment, bullying, suicide bombing activities, kidnapping threat and other anti-social behaviors can serve as the foundation for lethal events in the future, if no serious action is taken, and it is consider now to be predictors of more serious crimes in schools and elsewhere."From statistics, as of September 2006, there were more than 1.7million internally displaced persons in the state of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa which was most affected by Boko Haram insurgency.
"No child should have to worry about safety when in school. This initiative is not a cookie cutter awareness programme; it is a network of school-led, civil populace initiative and that share common belief on the importance of school and children safety. While federal, state and local partners have primary responsibility for the physical security at schools, through training, best practices guide, workshops, and table top exercises loaded under this initiative, we hope to foster a culture of preparedness in our academic communities," Adedayo said.

This week, Miami is scrambling to deal with a flooding emergency.
But the cause is not the looming approach of a major hurricane or even a powerful tropical storm. The flood emergency for the coming three days is simply a seasonal astronomical high tide. Something they are now calling a King Tide. A condition that arises due to solar and lunar alignment a few times every year. A gravitational flux that pushes high tides another foot or so above the normal range.
Decades or even years ago, astronomical high tide wasn't so much of a problem for Miami. Now, it means flooded roads and runways. It means salt water backing up through city drainage and municipal water systems. It means sea walls over-topped. It means lawns, properties and businesses covered in water.
The crisis is so serious that the city has already allocated more than 400 million dollars to deal with the problem. And this week, crews and flood prevention planners are scrambling to face the rising seas.
At issue is the fact that Miami is facing a climate change driven sea level rise that is in the process of going exponential. A ramping rate of water rise that is being driven by a combination of glacial melt, ocean expansion due to warming, a backing up of the Gulf Stream which is raising waters all along the Eastern Seaboard, and a continuation of land subsistence in South Florida due to a variety of factors.
From 1914 through 1998, sea levels rose by an average of 0.06 inches per year — a rate that was barely noticeable to residents and city planners alike. But from 1998 to 2009 the pace increased to a more troubling 0.14 inches per year. And from 2009 to the present year the pace again jumped to a terrifying 0.67 inches per year.
An exponential rate of sea level rise that, in the past year alone, raised Miami's surrounding ocean waters by 0.86 inches. Should the observed sea level rise over recent years continue, Miami will be facing 6-9 feet of additional water by the end of this century and not the 3-4 feet currently predicted.
Miami is particularly vulnerable to such rapid rates of sea level rise for a couple of reasons. First, most of Miami is less than four feet above 20th Century sea levels. So even moderate rates of sea level rise put major portions of the city under water. Second, the city sits on porous limestone. The rock, riddled with holes, leaks like a sieve. So building sea walls won't help Miami much as water will simply rise up through the rocks themselves.
Because Miami is so low-lying and surrounded on almost all sides by water, it is often seen as one of the most vulnerable cities to human-driven climate change. However, the geological conditions are not unique to Miami and remain a problem for almost all Florida cities. The porous limestone is a feature of the entire Florida Peninsula. So the problems Miami is facing now will become problems for hundreds of cities and communities up the coast and in more central regions of the state as well.
At most immediate risk is all of South Flordia. Miami-Dade and Broward Counties have about half of their residents living below the 4 foot above sea level line. Collier and Monroe counties also boast very large populations within just 4 feet of already rapidly rising seas. Such a rise would generate inland water upwelling throughout much of south Florida and the Everglades even as many coastal regions faced inundation. Small, low-lying islands and barrier zones would be swallowed by the sea or broken by incursions through weak points. The mangroves, already in retreat, would be swiftly beaten back. Inland lakes, invaded by higher pressure salt water from below, would also rise.
As an example, seasonal high tides are already having an effect on the Delray Beach region that is starkly similar to problems now plainly visible in Miami. In the historic Marina neighborhood, water bubbles up from storm drains and spills over the banks of the Intracoastal Waterway into streets.

"Nevermind – it's an interview"
Posted on	 April 6, 1995 · 5 Comments
KURT- "I punctured every speaker and cabinet, and there were, um, 12 speakers to puncture…, really, I can't think of anything better to do than to puncture speakers, that's my favourite piece of equipment to destroy…. itís a lot of fun."
DAVE- "I had Kurt's guitar cabinet, like, I was smashing it, picking it – these things are heavy, smashing it onto my bass drum, trying just to completely crack and destroy the bass drum, but it wouldn't do it. I was wailiní on it with guitars, I was throwing it off the risers as hard as I could – drums are hard to break!!!"
KURT- "Well, first I wanted to be in a rock band when I was really young, and I decided in about, 3rd grade I wanted to be a stuntman, so, um, oh heck yeah, Evil Knievel was a big influence on that. Iíd jump my bikes, and I took all my bedding and pillows out of our house, and put it on the deck, and got up on top of the roof, and would jump off. Yeah, and I took a thin piece of metal one time, and duct-taped it to my chest, and put a bunch of firecrackers on it and lit it on fire."
KRIST- "Buzz Osbourne, guitar player from the Melvins, he like, discovered punk rock, and uh, he was turning people on to it. I heard it, and it sounded live to me, and um, I borrowed the record – "Generic Flipper", and I listened to it, and it was just, like it was a revelationÖI was like "wow!", it was just heavy, it was art, I was affectedÖ.and Iíve never been the same since..it was like a breakthrough.."
KURT- "I was um, 15, when I got my first guitarÖwell, my mother had just gotten married, and this was in the first year of her marriage..my stepfather went out on her, and uh, she got so irate that she took all my stepfatherís guns, uh, various guns, pistols, rifles and stuff, and she walked down to the river, and threw them in. And then I hired this kid to fish a couple of them out, and I sold them, and then I got my first guitar with the money."
KURT- "Uh, yeah, I took lessons for a week, I learned how to play "Back in Black" by AC/DC, and itís pretty much the "Louie Louie" chords, so thatís all I needed to know. I never did pay the guitar teacher for that week eitherÖI still owe him money. But thatís it, yíknow, I just started writing songs on my ownÖonce you know the power chord, you donít need to know anything else."
KRIST- "Aberdeenís basically just a small town, south west of Seattle, itís on the Pacific ocean, itís main industry is logging, and forest products, thereís really no roads going through there, itís kinda just off the beaten path, off the beaten track, and uh, things just kinda… change comes slowly to Aberdeen. Everything revolves around the logging industry there, itís all logging… if the logging stopped thereíd be a ghost town"
Aberdeen, Washington, 1987, Nirvana was formed between singer-guitarist Kurt Cobain, and bassist Krist Novoselic. Krist explains the birth of the band
KRIST- "A little social group came together, and we just kinda hung out, yíknow, talked about things, and then, one thing led to another, Kurt did a tape with Dale Crover from the Melvins, and one of the songs on it was "Spank Thru", and he turned me on to it, and I kinda liked it, it got me excited, so I go "Hey man, letís start a band!". We scrounged up a drummer, and we started practicing….took it very seriously too."
The band recorded their first demo tape with Dale Crover, of the Melvins.
KRIST- "He played on our first demo, and a couple of those songs made it over to the "Bleach" LP, "Floyd the barber", and "Paper cuts". We jammed for about a week, put some songs together, and made this tape."
Kurt and Krist then enrolled Chad Channing to become Nirvanaís first full-time drummer.
KRIST- "Chad wanted to express himself in a way that really didnít gel with the band. Chad really compromised his style to suit the band, I donít think he was happy doing thatÖand, uh, it was a good departure, yíknow, it worked well for everyone"
1988 – Sub Pop records released a limited 1000 copies of Nirvanaís first single "Lovebuzz" – a Shocking Blue cover, with the B side, "Big Cheese". Months later, in June of 89í the first Nirvana album, "Bleach" was released. Kurt, Krist, and Chad recorded the album for $600, with producer Jack Endino. Jason Everman is also listed on guitar, but he didnít actually appear on the album, only on the tour. Kurt on "Bleach"
KURT- "Bleach is seen to be really one dimensional. It has the same format, ….all the songs are slow, and grungey, and theyíre tuned down to really low notes, and I screamed a lotÖ.and, but at the same time that we were recording, we had a lot more songs, like "About a girl", in fact "Polly" was written at that same time too, itís just that we chose to put more abrasive songs on the "Bleach" album, so , it really wasnít a matter of evolving, within just a year, yíknow,ÖÖweíve always liked pop music, and weíve always had a few songs like that."
Seattle, Washington. After the release of "Bleach", the band went on itsí first national tour, and they were gearing up to record their 2nd album. Krist explains
KRIST- "We went to Madison, Wisconsin, to record a record with Butch Vig, in the Spring of 1990. We laid down about, 6, 7 songs, which was like, "Lithium", "Bloom", "Polly", oh "Dive", B side of "Sliver" majored out, uh "Stay Away"Ö.anyway we went there in the Spring to record a record, right? Right after we finished recording the record we went on this, uh, 8 week tour of the US, starting in Madison, and we got as far as New York, and everything was geared up to yíknow, put out this 2nd Nirvana record, and we were gonna record maybe a few more songs in Seattle, this was gonna be Sub Pop, and this was gonna be our second record, and this was supposed to come out the September of 1990Ö..and well once we got off that tour, thatís when we lost Chad, so thereís uncertainty with that, we didnít want to release it, if we did anything we wanted to do it with a new drummer. Sub Pop was doing some wheeling and dealing, they were going to sign a licensing deal with a big label and that kinda scared us, and there were so many variables to consider, that it wasnít wise to put out a record at all. We went and we toured the UK, and uh, we went and uh, toured uh, Western Canada, and uh next thing yíknow, we were talking to labels ourselves, so that was just like.."we can!"."
With Chad leaving the band, Kurt and Krist then enrolled friend, and Mudhoney drummer Dan Peters, but Dan only lasted one gig
KRIST- "Well yeah, it was a great gig too, it was at the Motor Sports Garage in Seattle, there was about 1500 people there..or no, there was a lot more people thereÖthere was a lot of people there, and uh, we just recorded the "Sliver" single with him, a couple of weeks before, and he looked like he was gonna be in our band, and that was just another case of compromising his style for our band, yíknow, he was gonna go out and buy a bigger drum set and yíknow you can really hear his style, itís just Mudhoney, yíknow, those snare rollsÖand well, that was when the future of uh Mudhoney was uncertain, Steve wanted to go to school, and there was all this..yíknow, just like, "are Mudhoney gonna break up?" and Dan saw opportunity to join our band, it was a certain thing, so like yeah, we love Dan as a person and we love his drumming. Well it just goes back to the – it was uncertain, and if Dan were to join our band, it wouldíve been certain that Mudhoney was finished, and we didnít want to be responsible for that."
Enter Dave Grohl – not just another drummer
KURT- "Heís the most well adjusted boy Iíve ever met. Heís totally easy to get along with, everyone loves him, he plays drum better than any drummer Iíve ever heard. I mean, he blows away Jon Bonham, if I had a, yíknow, if I had the choice of like, bringing Jon Bonham back to life, or to choose of any drummer of any band I could even think of, they wouldnít be better than Dave… Heís great."
KRIST- "Heís great, yeah, heís the backbone of the band."
Dave was playing in the Washington D.C band Scream, when things fell apart.. Dave explains
DAVE- "In 1990, we were on tour, doing a tour of America, and we were halfway through the tour, in Los Angeles."
KRIST- "Their tour made it as far as Los Angeles, and their bass player flew the coup."
DAVE- "We got stranded there, there wasnít really much to do, and I called my friend Buzz Osbourne, who um, is a singer for The Melvins, and, weíd known eachother for awhile, (mutual friend of Kurt and Krist) yeah..heís actually the one who introduced them to eacother, and he ended up introducing me to the band. And he just said that, um, they were looking for a drummer, and that they saw Scream play in San Franscico, and they thought I was really good, blah blah blah, no romantic story!"
KRIST- "We were just blown away by the whole band, especially the drummer, the drummer was really good,Öhe called up and weíre like, "Yeah man! Come on up!"
DAVE- "The strangest thing about it was moving up to the North-West, no money, and nothiníÖI mean I didnít, I still only have like, a bag of clothes and my drums. Iíve bought a bed, a couple of months ago, so I have a room with this futon on the floor,Ö. But I mean, I donít have anything, so I didnít really have to move, and uh, just yíknow, moving up, leaving your best friends in the world…"
KURT- "Yeah, it was weirder for him probably cause heís kinda homesick, yíknow…."
DAVE- "I mean I didnít know Krist or Kurt, and I ended up living on Kurtís couch for 8 months and just…"
KURT- "He just packed up his stuff and came to Washington state."
DAVE- "I had every misconception that everyone else had, ya know, all I thought Seattle was, was like, flannel shirts, and blurry Charles Petersen photos yíknow."
KURT- "We were living in this little cracker box hell – hole of an apartment, and Iím quite a slob as you can see."
DAVE- "If you had someone you did not know come and move into your apartment, and you were sorta like you felt this responsibility to like, "OK, well we must get along."
KURT- "It was kinda hard for two people to live in this really small apartment with one bedroom, and just garbage all over the floor, a lotta corn dog sticks lying around.."
DAVE- "Whatever, in like, a month or two, we were out in the backyard shooting stuff with BB guns, and breaking windows at the lottery building across the street. It was fun, it was great, that apartment was great."
KURT- "It was nice, cause Dave turns out to be just as much of a slob as me."
With Nirvana's line up now set, Kurt, Krist and Dave began rehearsing.
DAVE- "We'd been, um, practicing in this really weird practice space. This man built a studio in his, in this like, barn, in is backyard… but it wasn't a barn, it was this thing that had a studio in it, and then upstairs his brother lived up there, and he was in this really bad, like, Howard Johnson's lounge band. Everything was carpeted with this like, brown shag carpet, and it even had stage lights in there, and they had a massive PA, that he just did not know how to use, and he'd turn it on, and "SHHHHHHHHH" there's just this huge hiss… and we were practicing a lot, but we were writing a lot of material, we'd write them, they were great for like 2 weeks, "Oh my God, this is the best song ever" and we'd forget them, and so then we decided "OK, we'll start putting them on cassette" and so we started recording them onto these boom box things, and we'd lose the cassette's and y'know, we wrote so much material, that we just like, forgot about… and every once in awhile we'll just like, pull one out, and turn it around."
While the band was writing and rehearsing, the major labels started taking interest.
KURT- "They were wining and dining us, and there were some labels that we were impressed by, but uh, we thought, uh, DGC would be the best for us… (Was one of the main reasons because of Sonic Youth?)
KRIST- Yeah, we knew Sonic Youth were happy on there, and we've always loved and respected Sonic Youth, so and there's like all these rumours, that we got like, a million dollars, or 700, it was actually, even in Spin Magazine it was printed that, that we got $750, 000, and we didn't even get a quarter of that. What we did, was instead of going for the big dough we went for the strong contract… (Which enables you, like, more freedom..?) …more freedom, uh, more percentage points on the record, and there's a lot of clauses in there that are in our favour. Now if our record would've bombed, we woulda kicked ourselves in the butt and said "Maaan, we shoulda took the cash!". But were not in it for the money, we were in it for y'know, let's put out a record and let's do this thing right!"
DAVE- "I really don't know what the definition of selling out is anymore, I guess I really don't care. We haven't compromised, our record label let's us do whatever we want… we think on the same level, there's nothing that we've done, that could be considered a sell out at all, at least not in my eyes. A lot of people were calling us sell out… they forget that y'know, the Ramones, and the Sex Pistols were on major labels, so was the Clash, and they all, all those bands were trying to become big stars… they didn't even deny it..
KURT- God, the Ramones even had a movie out after them, y'know, to help support them."
KRIST- "Y'know I think that if you make money, and you start voting republican, because you'll get tax breaks, and they're the party of the rich, I mean – that's sold out."
In early 1991 Nirvana entered the studio with producer Butch Vig.
KRIST- "Yeah, we worked with him in the Springtime, when we, when we did that demo, that I mentioned earlier. He was just easy to work with, laidback, and um, really attentive to what's going on. He works hard, but he doesn't work the band hard."
DAVE- "It was about time that the band recorded something, finally, it had been so long.."
KURT- "It was called Sound City, and the board and the room were really old, the board was from the early 70's"
KRIST- "All the dinosaurs have recorded there, uh, Fleetwood Mac, uh, Cheap Trick"
KURT- "There's nothing more disgusting, than the late 80's or early 90's slick sound, y'know, you just can't escape it, no matter how retro and old you try to be, or what kind of old equipment you use, you still can't help but sound new."
KRIST- "We got a warm sound outta that place"
DAVE- "It'd been two years since "Bleach", it'd been awhile, since the band had gone in and recorded a full LP, so it was more of like, "wow, ok, we're in the studio, let's just get this done! Let's just do it!"
KRIST- "We made the record we wanted to make, we didn't have any, we didn't wanna make the number one record, we didn't want to make some big hit record, it's, y'know that's, it woulda been the same record if it was on Sub Pop."
Kurt and Dave talk about writing songs
KURT- "It's usually done on an acoustic guitar, sitting around in my underwear, just picking out riffs, pieces of songs."
DAVE- "Maybe Kurt'll come in with a melody, a guitar riff, and um, show it to us."
KURT- "We go to practice, and then we play the song over, and over again…"
DAVE- "We just…jam! There's no real formula."
KURT- "Krist and Dave have a big part in deciding on how long a song should be, and how many parts it should have, …so, I don't like to be considered as the whole song writer, but I do come up with the basis of it. I come up with the singing style during practice and I write the lyrics usually minutes before we record."
(Referring to "Something In The Way")
KURT- "That song really wasn't even written until a week before we went into the studio. And uh, I knew I wanted cello on it, but after all the music was recorded for it, we'd kinda forgotten about putting a cello on it, and we had one more day in the studio, and we decided "Oh, geez, we should try to hire a cellist" y'know, and put something in, and we were at a party, and we were asking some of our friends if they had any friends who play cello, and it just so happened that one of our best friends in LA, plays cello, so, took him into the studio on the last day and said "here, play something", and he came up with something right away, it just fell like dominoes, it was really easy."
(Referring to "Come As You Are")
KURT- "The lines in the song are really contradictory, y'know, one after another, they're kind of a rebuttal, to each line, and they're just kinda confusing I guess. It's just about people, and uh, what they're expected to act like."
KURT- "Just because I say "I" in a song doesn't necessarily mean it's me. A lot of people have a problem with that. It's just the way I write usually, take on someone else's personality or character. I'd rather just use someone else's example, because I dunno, my life is kinda boring, and so y'know, I just take stories from things I've read, and off the television, and in stories I've heard, maybe even some friends."
(Referring to "In Bloom")
KURT- "Obviously I don't like rednecks, I don't like macho men. I mean, I don't like abusive people, and I guess that's what that song is about, it's an attack on them."
(Referring to "Smells Like Teen Spirit")
KURT- "This friend of mine and I were goofing around my house one night, and we were kinda drunk, and we were writing graffiti all over the walls of my house, and she wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit". And earlier on, we were kinda having this discussion on revolution, and teen revolution and stuff like that, and I took that as a compliment, I thought that she was saying that I was a person who, who could inspire. I just thought that was a nice little title. And it turns out she just meant that I smelt like the deodorant, I didn't even know that deodorant existed, until after the song was written."
DAVE- "My father said this to me – "I know why you guys've sold so many records… the video shows a buncha kids trashing a gymnasium!" and I mean… that sorta works… like uh, "Nirvana! Spokesmen of the lost generation! They're telling you to go out and destroy your local gymnasium!" I don't really, I don't see it that way, I mean, like, I don't want to hold a responsibility of being a spokesman for anything! I can barely hold my own! I guess it's flattering, and I guess it's great that it acts like sorta, gives people a feeling of sorta like breaking out, and telling um, anyone and anything just to fuck off!"

KURT- "One day, Dave and I were sitting around watching a documentary on babies being born underwaterÖ.and um, I thought that was a really neat image, so we thought, "Letís put that on the album cover", and then when we got back a picture of a baby underwater, we thought, I thought it would look Önice for a fish hook with a dollar bill on it… and… so, the image was born."
KURT- "Itís just a rubber monkey, that Iíve had for years… and I took that picture. It was in a Bohemian photography stage… yíknow, taking a bunch of weird, arty pictures, and thatís one of them"
KURT- "Itís a collage that I made many years ago. I…, I got these pictures of beef, from a supermarket poster, and cut them out, and made a mountain of beef… and then put Danteís people being thrown into hell… climbing all over it, and um, thatís pretty much, yeah, thereís also, if you look real close, thereís a picture of Kiss, in the back…. standing on a slab of beef"
13 minutes, and 51 seconds after the beginning of track 12, the band put a secret song on the "Nevermind" CD. This mystery song didnít make the first pressing though. Dave explains:
DAVE- "When we got our first CD, and popped it in, we listened to it, "Oh… …, Oh! Letís check to see if that track is there!", and it wasnít there. The reason for it, I think the original reason was because, "Something In The Way" is sorta like your slower, whatever song… itís the last song on the record, most likely to be listened to by like someone who would have a carousel CD player, and so okay, why not like "screw up their little carousel deal!!!!" I was talkiní to a friend who works in a record store, and he said uh, a person came in with the CD, and said "Yíknow…, this thingís screwed up…. after the last song, thereís like, this 10 minutes of dead space, then this total noise song!" He wanted his money back! And the person at that store said, "Well.., I think maybe, it was like a joke of the bands…. yíknow, put it on after…," and he goes "Well I donít think itís very funny!"…. yíknow! And he wanted his money back! It was just like….!"
Inspiration comes in many forms, and for Nirvana, it came in the form of an obscure Scottish band called the Vaselines.
KRIST- "Kurt and I were totally into the Vaselines, I mean, they were my favourite band, they still are one of my favourite bands."
KURT- "Definitely our number one favourite band."
KRIST- "We finally got to play with them, they reformed, just to play with us…. and we played Edinburgh, Scotland, in, ah, early winter of 1990…. So we met Eugene, and kinda kept a rap going with themÖthen we heard Captain America the band, we heard the tape, we were totally blown away."
KURT- "Yeah, thatís his new band, Captain America, they're really good…"
KRIST – "Eugeneís a great songwriter, so, yeah! Captain Americaís gotta go on tour with us!"
KRIST- "Since our record has done so well, we can open up doors for other bands, from where we come from, like Sonic Youth or Mudhoney, or the Melvins, or L7, or Dinosaur. Jr…. I can just go on and on and on and on"
KURT- "I guess the best part would be, being in the position to take other bands, whom you like a lot, on tour with you. Itís definitely a nice thing to be able to do. We took Shonin Knife, a three piece… all girl Japanese band on tour with us in England, and theyíve been a favourite of ours for years, and no one really knows who they are in England, or anywhere in Europe. Weíve taken the Melvins on tour with us, and in the future, we hope to take Hole, and Jesus Lizard, and a bunch of other bands who we like."
KURT- "But nothing really exciting happens on tour, people think that the "rock star life" is so exciting and itís, yíknow you play a show, you usually get into the town by the time itís dark, and you soundcheck, and you donít get to see the city, you play the show and then you leave the next morning. Yíknow, you go to the hotel room, and you leave, and do the same thing all over again. Itís kinda boring, in a way, I mean still, I canít think of anything else Iíd rather do, but, itís not as exciting as anyone thinks. But itís getting harder for me to jump out in the audience now, because the crowds are bigger and some of the people donít realise that… … .I donít know what they realise actually, because theyíre putting their hands in my pockets and trying to steal my money and my wallet, and theyíre… theyíre hitting me really hard and scratching me, so itís…. I dunno, after a while Iím probably not going to be able to do that anymore. And thatís too bad, causeí itís a fun little bonding thing to do with the audience."
Nirvana says their next album will be different, perhaps even more like "Bleach"
KRIST- "Well our next recordís gonna be different, itís gonna be way different."
DAVE- "Well I wouldnít want to put out two of the same record"
KURT- "Weíd like to record every song differently"
KRIST- "These are just ideas..that we have. Yíknow, I know, I know itís gonna be a, a record of… extremities."
DAVE- "I think we had our shot at doing the ah, big studio, high-tech Hollywood thing, whatever… yíknow… I mean, that studio to us, was like, pretty like, techno. I dunno, maybe weíll do the next record on 8-track."
KURT- "It will be recorded on 8-track"
DAVE- "You can get more low amp frequencies out of an 8-track"
KURT- "Go back to the "Bleach" sound"
DAVE- "Back to that sorta, more along the lines of "Bleach""
KURT- "Causeí I really liked the production of "Bleach", and I, I dunno, I felt kinda weird straying so far away from it"
DAVE- "Weíve got this far, with this record"
KURT- "Thereís definitely going to be some more abrasive songs on our next record."
DAVE- "Yíknow, weíre gonna do something, just totally test the limits"
KRIST- "Really raw and abrasive, to very uh, pretty and candyish."
DAVE- "All the radio listeners, or the MTV watchers, or whoever, just like, really test them, and shove something totally agro, in their face, and, and see if they can handle that."
KURT- "Almost anything thatís musical, is pop music, as far as Iím concerned. As long as itís good, and itís catchy, itís pop. And yíknow, a lot of punk rock is pop. I think the only time that punk rock strayed away from pop, was when hardcore came around, yíknow, and there was a lot, yíknow, real durgy stuff also, like the crossover metal thing, …and I really canít consider a lot of that music."
DAVE- "Yíknow, maybe one percent, of the people who are listening to "Nevermind", that ever bought "Nevermind", maybe not one percent, but Iím just saying that this, um, a small minority of people who are listening to our record now, know about punk rock. A lot of people donít know about punk rockÖ..they think about punk rock and they think of that Quincy episode where the guy threw the brick off the building, and…"
KURT- "I guess, I dunno, I just donít agree with old punk rock ethoís, of like, you have to starve to be an artist… …itís bullshit."
KURT- "We donít like to think of ourselves as a political band, because yíknow, you tend to become too anal, and it becomes ridiculous, If you shove it down peopleís throats yíknow, we just ask people to be aware a little bit, …and I think the songs kinda reflect that."
KRIST- "Itís just another issue, another topic, like we could talk about racism, we could talk about feminism, nationalism, …I donít really subscribe to that way of thought, at all."
KURT- "Thereís just so much corruption going on with the government, and the Reagan years have definitely set us back, to where the average teenager feels kinda lost, and there isnít much hope. Theyíre still at least, aware of the mistakes that our parentís generation has made… and I just think that itíll take a little bit of time for kids to start doing the duties that theyíre supposed to do, which is challenge things, like corruption."
DAVE- "The way Americanís money is budgeted by our government, it leaves nothing to the education system. Teachers are dealing with the future, yíknow, …teachers are dealing with kids growing up, who are gonna take care of me or you, someday. Just the education system in general, in a lot of places, is really screwed."
KRIST- "Yíknow, itís great to get information like that, so you can um, form your own ideas. Itíd be neat, if like… …yíknow, the 60ís had a like, Abby Hoffman, or ah, John Sinclair… …yíknow, Timothy Leary to an extent. And they were spokespeople, and they were shaking things up, and nowadays, thereís not really anybody."
The multiplatinum release "Nevermind". Since itís release, the album has topped the billboard charts, and the first single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" has become a top-ten hit. The success of "Nevermind" has taken a lot of people by surprise…. including the band.
KURT- "Iíll never get over the shock… and thatís kinda good."
DAVE- "It was, um, sort of a really, whatever, organic thing, there wasnít any massive hype"
KURT- "I mean there is definitely no big million dollar investment, in, in promotion behind this record at all, itís totally organic, and it just happened."
KRIST- "Yíknow, whateverís happened, is, was surely out of our control, and Iím glad itís happened… …yíknow itís nice to sell that many records, itís nice to turn on people to something different. People telliní me "Oh yeah… you guyís record…. I think you guys are gonna go platinum" and weíre like… "Oh man… címon, yíknow, if we get a gold record outta this, thatíll be amazing."
KURT- "Itís not my fault. I never wanted the fame involved. Itís, thatís a totally different story. I think Paul Stanley once said somethiní like "Only thing that money gives you is relief of not having to worry about money". Only thing Iíd really like to do with it, is to invest in some bands that I like, I…, I donít wanna start my own record label… God, I know I couldnít do that. But Iíd like to give some money to some labels whoíre putting out great music, help in that way. And um, probably gonna buy a house. Hopefully we can have a recording studio too… a little 8-track recording studio, so we can make good demos. And thatís pretty much the plans… and just get some new shoes."

Down the Gambia
Dangerous spoke with Jason Florio before and after he and his wife, Helen Jones-Florio, descended nearly the full length of the River Gambia earlier this year. Originally funded through a Kickstarter project, the expedition was an effort to raise awareness of the region, the river, and the potential damming of the river. The story written prior to the expedition appears at the bottom of the page..
By Will Grant
Jason Florio and his wife, Helen Jones-Florio, have made one of the few full-length descents of the River Gambia. From November 23, 2012 to January 21, 2013, the two traveled 649 miles (1,044 kilometers) by motorcycle, truck, and folding canoe from the river's source at Hore Dimma in the Guinean Highlands to the Atlantic Ocean at Banjul, Gambia.
The upper stretches of the river are unnavigable with a canoe loaded with two months' of supplies. From the source, the Florios bumped and pounded and slid down more than 200 miles of muddy mountain roads on motorcycles and four-wheel drives to the stashed canoes in Kédougou, Senegal. From there, the journey was a lesson in paddling, river navigation, and negotiating with hippos and Gambian guides.
Generally speaking, neither Florio nor his wife are workaday adventurers, though they've accumulated an impressive résumé of international trips and expeditions. Dangerous spoke to Florio in October prior to his traveling to Africa. We talked about his preparations, his motives, all the shiny new gear he was about to punish, and the River Gambia's colorful reputation: crocodiles, poachers, unnavigable rocks when the river runs low.
Jason on the banks of the Gambia.
One of the goals of the expedition was to document the River Gambia in its entirety—one of the last remaining undammed rivers in Africa. The other goal was just to pull the whole thing off. To time the expedition with the end of the rainy season for navigable flows and clearing weather. To avoid the crocodiles. To avoid the poachers. To keep the digital hardware clean and dry.
And they succeeded. Destroyed electronics aside (including a video camera owned by Dangerous publisher Robert Young Pelton), there were few losses. It was an African expedition rife with the sort of wonders, hang-ups, thrills, dangers, delays, and frustrations that you'd expect. But at the end of the day, the Florios brilliantly executed a full-length look at the wild River Gambia.
"The physical challenge was something we were looking forward to," Jason says. "There were long stretches of the river that were purely green on both sides, and you learned to appreciate the beauty. You'd go into a Zen-like state. The mental challenge was dealing with the guys."
The "guys" were the two Gambian guides the Florios hired to aid in the descent. They were fishermen. One was an older, traditional man, about 55. "Praying-five-times-a-day-type traditional," Jason says. The other was a younger man, who, instead of praying, would try to access the Internet on his smartphone. The trip was a chance for the two men to see the full course of the river that has served as their people's lifeline since time immemorial. But they also had a job to do. The Florios were relying on the two for local information, help with border crossings, and procuring food, through fishing or otherwise, on a daily basis—the usual tasks expected of a guide.
But not these guys. These guys had never fished in fast water like that of the upper Gambia. Neither did they pack any fishing gear. And then on Christmas Day they threatened to quit after a hard day's paddling. It was too difficult, they said. They didn't know the river, and they were scared of hippos and crocodiles. On the banks of the Gambia, they had a meltdown halfway through the expedition.
Helen in camp.
A two-hour argument ensued. The Florios neared the point of saying, Hell with these guys. But the guides decided not to quit, partly, the Florios feel, because the two men would have been shamed by turning from a task that a woman (Helen) was confronting. The guides agreed to continue to the Atlantic, and "after that they were fine," Jason says.
There were other delays and mishaps, and, not surprisingly, each bend in the wide, brown river offered its own set of problems. They made between 18 and 25 miles a day. And while the two guides can add fast-water fishing to their list of skills, the Florios can add paddling a canoe to theirs. Beforehand, they tested their folding Ally Canoes by paddling between riverside pubs in England. About all that did was help them recognize the boats when they arrived in Gambia.
Nothing like an African river to break in a rookie canoeist. They learned how to read the river currents, to read the wildlife. They lashed the boats together for stability and put up a makeshift mast in each. Their hands calloused and their shoulders hardened.
The hippos were slightly problematic. Video shot by Helen from the trip show a pair of hippo eyes midstream suggesting a much larger, submerged mass. If the hippos convey a sense of stubbornness through the lens of a camera, you can be sure that in person it's nothing to sneeze at. In addition to the two Gambians, the Florios hired a Malian guide for the upper stretches of the river. (Shortly after the Malian guide departed the expedition, the two Gambians tried to quit.)
"He'd had a couple of run-ins with hippos, so we knew he wouldn't be reckless," Jason says. As it turned out, local people at each section of the river had their ways of dealing with the wildlife. A handheld catapult loaded with rocks was one of the more effective ways to keep hippos at bay, which can weigh up to 9,000 pounds.
The River Gambia is mostly a slow, gentle river. But swift currents and waves that threatened to swamp the boats could make paddling difficult. The only time the Florios had to drag the canoes was at the river's mouth—a nine-mile-wide braided channel of sandbars, chutes and levees that empties into the Atlantic.
Though bungled West African politics have so far kept a dam on the River Gambia from happening, if it ever becomes a reality, the river and the landscape, including the people, will be forever changed. The Florios are quite possibly the only ones to have seen every foot of the river, and they're preparing an array of media gathered during the descent to draw attention to the river, the people, and the land.
The descent of the river won't easily be replicated. Partly because finding the source of the river was no easy feat. The Florios were relying on a 19th century French explorer's account to find the trickling rivulet, and before they departed for Africa, they considered it a solid, albeit old, source of information. Local knowledge turned out to be much more helpful, and after finding the source, they filled a bottle with the clear water.
"I'm not sure I'm going to post the coordinates of the source," Jason says. "I think it's something you should have to come and do for yourself. You can't build this stuff online, and that's part of the whole experience."
To pay for the expedition, Jason is selling prints of the journey, the people and life on the river. His photographs from his previous trip to the Gambia garnered awards and applause, and the latest batch looks to be just as successful. You can see more of Jason Florio's photographs from Africa and elsewhere, and purchase photographs, at his website.

Although water quality and water delivery systems still need improvement, as a low-lying country with a pronounced rainy season, Guinea-Bissau has plenty of water for subsistence, commercial agriculture and human consumption.
Large deposits of bauxite in the east along the Guinean border and phosphates in the centre and northwest, offshore petroleum, and gold are additional assets that could be developed more fully with improved infrastructure.
A major restructure of Guinea-Bissau's banking system that began in 1989 replaced the National Bank of Guinea-Bissau with separate institutions including a central bank, a commercial bank, and a national credit bank. Guinea-Bissau joined the West African Economic and Monetary Union and the Franc Zone in 1997, and the Guinean peso was eventually replaced by the CFA (Communauté Financière Africaine) franc after the two currencies coexisted for several months. The role of the central bank was taken over by the Central Bank of West African States, which is based in Dakar. Participation in the banking system among Guineans is very low, and only a fraction retains bank accounts.
During the colonial period, Portugal was by far Guinea-Bissau's most important trading partner. Although Portugal retained a significant role after independence, Guinea-Bissau maintains important trade relationships with Senegal and Italy. Guinea-Bissau receives the majority of its imports from Senegal and Italy, as well as with India and Nigeria, which are also recipients of most of its exports.
The economy is largely agricultural, with good prospects for forestry and fishery development. Foods produced for local consumption include rice, vegetables, beans, cassava (manioc), potatoes, palm oil, and peanuts (groundnuts). Livestock includes pigs, goats, sheep, cattle, and poultry. Fish and shrimp are raised for both domestic consumption and export.
Guinea-Bissau is heavily forested, with forest cover on about three-fifths of its land. Most wood harvests are used for domestic fuel, but the country exports small amounts of sawn wood. The export of commercial items such as cashews, palm products, rice, peanuts, timber, and cotton has long played an important role in the country's economy.
The economy of Guinea-Bissau includes a mixture of state-owned and private companies. Plans for industrial development have been reduced, and those supporting agriculture have been increased. The number of state-owned businesses declined significantly after the government adopted a liberal free-market economy in 1987, as endorsed by the World Bank and IMF (International Monetary Fund).
Guinea-Bissau is easily self-sufficient in food production, and the majority of labor is devoted to agriculture at the subsistence level. Whilst some crops are raised for export, various small-scale industries and services also generate a part of the gross national product. Due to a variety of damaging factors, including an exploitative colonial inheritance, war damage, inflation, debt service, subsidization, civil disorder and mismanagement, the economy has fallen far short of its promise, resulting in a protracted negative balance of trade and Guinea-Bissau's status as one of the world's poorest countries. Various foreign aid and loan programs have been sought to address this deficit.
