Jason Everman could be considered the Pete Best of grundge music. Not only was he kicked out of Nirvana but also Soundgarden. Unlike Pete Best, Jason became an elite member of the U.S. Army Special Forces.
I saw photos of Everman in fatigues on a warship (“an antipiracy operation in Asia”). A shot of Everman with Donald Rumsfeld. Another with Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal. And that’s when it hit me. Jason Everman had finally become a rock star. -Clay Tarver
