Former Nirvana Member Won't Run for Office
SEATTLE -- Former grunge rocker Krist Novoselic has changed his mind and decided not to run for lieutenant governor but says he wants to remain active in politics.
Novoselic said he would keep working with Music for America to boost voter participation among young people and continue his efforts for election reform but concluded, "the whole thing about running a campaign and being a public servant isn't the way to do it."
Novoselic was the bass player and one of the founders of Nirvana, which broke up after the suicide of co-founder Kurt Cobain in 1994. Novoselic had some later musical projects but is now retired from performing and lives in southwest Washington state.
He initially supported Howard Dean for president but will be a delegate for John Kerry at the Wahkiakum County Democratic Party convention.
