Remembering a Seattle music icon

Charles R Cross died this weekend, and even if you haven't heard his name, you've likely felt his impact in Seattle. He was a pioneering music journalist who championed Seattle's grunge scene during its meteoric rise, and later wrote biographies of music icons. Longtime Seattle DJ Marco Collins tells us about Charles and his impact on the city. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. You have the power!
