What I want to know is would Krist Novoselic still have dropped out of the music business?
Krist didn't drop out of the music buisness, he played in a lot of bands after Nirvana such as;

The No WTO Combo (with Jello Biafra, and Kim Thayil from Soundgarden
Eyes Adrift (With Bud Gaugh of Sublime and Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, only lasting a year.)
Sweet 75 (1995-2000)
And in Flipper for a couple years from 2006-2008, he is on there new albums Love(studio album) and Fight (Live album)
He now writes for a Seatle Newspaper.

Also, in regards to the outcome if he had a solo career, I don't think he would get very big, he didn't want to be big. The last week before his death he talked about leaving hte music industry or just going back to recording stuff on a 4 track.
I could see him just vanishing from the spotlight and going back to playing small local shows around Seatle with a new name.
