Jennifer DeSilva, born in Aberdeen and now living in Seattle, said: "I try to come here every month. It's just so sad."
Get a life, bimbo.

A great songwriter, but one messed-up guy. Being married to Courtney Love didn't help, either.

Kurt Cobain on Monday. Cobain, 27, was found dead with a gunshot wound at his home in Seattle, Washington, on 8 April 1994. It is believed he shot himself on 5 April. Problem is... his fingerprints weren't on the gun.

What has more brains than Kurt Cobain? The wall behind him.
Seriously, I saw them back when they were unknown, opening for Sonic Youth. They were pretty good. I just wish I'd caught one of those demo tapes they were throwing out to the crowd. However, Cobain's future didn't sound too good when he said "I'd like to thank the alcohol" at the end of the concert.

I liked Nirvana as much as the next guy but I get so tired of the "I don't want to be a rock star" rock star. If you don't want to be a rock star, stop making records. It's a lot less painful than making wall art out of your brains.

You got to see Sonic Youth? I am SO jealous! I consider them one of the top five bands ever.

Read an article in the Sunday paper where two authors are writing a book about the possibility of Cobain being "murdered" by Courtney.....coming soon to a book store near you...

Cobain was one of the few "musicians" with even less talent than his wife.
Nirvana fans simply mistake a lack of talent for genius.

There's a website devoted to the proposition that Courtney killed Kurt. To their credit, they look at both the pro and con side. Wish I had the URL...saw it a year or two ago.
To: yankeedame
I refuse to "honor" anyone who places a loaded shotgun up to his own head and pulls the trigger. Kurt Cobain was a loser!

I saw Sonic Youth open for Neil Young on the Ragged Glory tour...the Neil fans in the crowd hated 'em! That's when I started to like SY. Then Neil came out and made twice the guitar squall of SY, and the crowd went nuts. Go figure...
To: smiley
While flipping channels last year I came across a film that said much the same thing. Courtney's step-father is convinced she murdered him. Initially skeptical, after hearing some of the evidence, it seems a not unreasonable (though unproven, of course) assumption.

Will ther be a 21 shotgun salute?
Seriously, I get a little tired of mediocre musicians like Kurt Cobain or Jim Morrison getting lionized because they die young.
The real tragedy is that the child Cobain fathered will always have to deal with the aftermath of this suicide.

I was never a Nirvana fan, and to be honest I don't think I even knew who Kurt Cobain was while he was still alive. But I must give that band credit for perhaps summing up the culture in America in the 1990s in two short lines from their song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" . . .
I feel stupid -- and contagious,
Here we are now -- entertain us.
