It’s 12/12/12 and the world is acting pretty damn weird. It was announced/leaked today that Nirvana will return for a one night show, and their lead singer will be Paul McCartney. Yeah, THAT Paul McCartney. You know, from the Beatles.
This is all for the 121212 Hurricane Sandy Charity concert. The goal of the event is to raise money for the Robin Hood Fund which is said to directly go to areas affected by Hurricane Sandy.
In an article from The Sun, it said that Paul had just rung up Dave Grohl and Grohl asked him to come around and play some tunes. After a few songs and an what I would say would be an enjoyable evening, Paul exhibited a startling example of being oblivious. He asked Dave “Who are these guys?”. He was quickly informed that he was taking up the role of the late great Cobain and the guys he was playing with were Nirvana…sort of.
Well this little get-together really sparked something, as McCartney along with Krist Novoselic and David Grohl will be joining forces TONIGHT as Nirvana playing a brand new song during the 121212 Charity Concert. Hopefully our own Matt Kelly will take the time out of his busy schedule to watch it and give us his thoughts.
