It was 10 years ago today Kurt Cobain took an overdose of Heroin and stared down the business end of a shotgun for the last time…
Of course, he wasn’t found til the 8th… And I remember it clearly as it was my brother’s birthday when he was found, and for some reason I made it my goal to get on a talk radio station and talk about how music was now dead and all that jazz.
Nevermind was the first cd I bought and I listened to it constantly, I still listen to it to this day, even if “Smell’s Like Teen Spirit” is overplayed (I much prefer “Lithium” to anything on the entire cd anyways) and through Nirvana I found other bands like Pixies, who Kurt says Nirvana was heavily influenced by, as well as drummer Dave Grohl’s band, the Foo Fighters… Still, I can’t help wondering what music might have been like had Kurt not decided to piss it all away that day 10 years ago, but I suppose it is better to burn out than to fade away, my my, hey hey!
Peace, Love, Empathy…
i still say courtney love had a hand if not a wad of cash in it, lets face it before he died no-one knew or cared who she was, now we know who she is but still dont care.
Infamously famous?
Yeah, plenty of conspiracies afoot for the inclusion of Ms. Love into the events
