He said "famous people", not other musicians, and Nirvana was on Sonic Youth's radar, and they were friends before the whole 1991 thing..
really, I don't get it. Are you guys all serious or just fucking with me? Again, I LOVE sonic youth, but they are hardly a "big" band regardless of how prolific or long lasting they were..
They deserve WAY more credit and celebration than they've gotten, but it doesn't negate the reality of what it is. Go randomly ask people today about Sonic Youth, people at the bus stop, corner store, burger stand, the pub tonight.. see what they say. See if its really as big as y'all are trying to tell me..
