Jeff Burlingame

Jeff Burlingame (born June 14, 1971,) is an American author of several books, including the best-selling [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0766024261 "Kurt Cobain: Oh Well, Whatever, Nevermind"] , which won recognition from the New York Public Library as a Book for the Teen Age in 2007. Burlingame also was the longtime arts and entertainment editor for The Daily World newspaper in Aberdeen, Wash., where he won nearly a dozen Society of Professional Journalism awards for his writing.

In 2004, Burlingame, along with Aberdeen City Councilman Paul Fritts, founded the non-profit Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee, an organization formed to honor the late rock legend in his hometown. In 2005, the group installed a large sign reading "Welcome to Aberdeen: Come As You Are" at the east entrance to Aberdeen. The committee's future goals include a youth center and low-key memorial park. In September 2007, the Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee hosted its first-ever fundraising rock concert, Lounge Acts.

Burlingame's recent book, a young adult biography of former first lady, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, has been made available for pre-order on Amazon.com's Web site [http://www.amazon.com/dp/0766028925 here] as of August 2007. According to Amazon, the book will be published in February 2008.
