Celebrated Rock Journalist Charles R Cross

 

Charles R Cross, Seattle's journalistic connection to the bigtime rock world has died.   Cross, who owned the Seattle Rock periodical, the Rocket, from 1986 to 1995, was known for writing biographies of Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Heart. 

I read the Heart biography, Kicking and Dreaming and found it very enjoyable. 

He was also a contributor to the Seattle Times.  

Cross was 67.
