Let’s sit down and look at the facts that we know already. We know that Nirvana is going to be inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame class of 2014. We know that Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, along with the late, great Kurt Cobain are getting that gong. We also know that the ceremony is taking place this weekend, and that Michael Stipe of REM fame will be inducting the legendary Seattle group into the hall. We also know that something is happening. Something potentially a little special. Novoselic has hinted at as much through some not-entirely-subtle Tweets, indicating that he’s dusted off the old bass and has been re-learning Nirvana riffs. We know that, in the past, a Nirvana reunion was close to happening in London with PJ Harvey on vocals, but didn’t wind up eventuating. And we know that speculation has been running wild on who would step into Cobain’s shoes should the group perform at their induction ceremony. But now things are potentially starting to become clearer, and the name most likely to fill the sizable void is one not previously discussed: The legendary Blackheart herself, Joan Jett.
