Sonic Youth bump. "Confusion is Sex" is some of the most wonderful noise I have had the pleasure to play again and again since high school.

"they did nothing that wasn't done by Humble Pie rocking the Filmore, thirty years ago."
Minus the falsetto vocals, of course.

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 agree, but how often do you hear of a guy so determined to croak himself that he has to give death a trial run (via a coma from drug abuse) before going for the permanent plan!
Cobain is no hero in any sense of the word. He was a self-absorbed whiney punk who couldn't handle his loss of fame. What's worse is his leaving a legacy that advanced nobody's career but Courtney Love's.

For me anyway, it is something altogether different to want to die when your body has failed you and there is no hope for recovery. A for instance would be, if I were ever in a state like Terry Schiavo, I would not want to continue to live. If you can call that living. Which in my opinion is not living, it is existence. But that is just my opinion.
Kurt Cobain wussed out, he took the easy way out. He had more to live for than many do and he looked at it and basically took a dump on it.

What's worse is his leaving a legacy that advanced nobody's career but Courtney Love's. Not so. He opened the doors for countless no-talent Nirvana wannabe bands. And Love's celeb still makes me scratch my head. Paris Hilton is the only celebrity on earth who has become famous with less talent.

A great songwriterNevermind is a classic album. But Bleach was noise and In Utero was spotty.

In Utero was uneven, but "Pennyroyal Tea" is some kind of a great song IMHO.
To: realwoman
In one sense, I can't wait for the day when the last Beatles fan goes off to his/her eternal reward. Maybe that will put an end to those stupid memorial gatherings every December in Central Park across the street from the Dakota apartment building where John Lennon was murdered in 1980.

I have been a Beatles fan since before I entered Kindergarten, but the thought of gathering in Central Park in December has never crossed my mind. Those people are just sad.

Well, one thing's for sure: you and I don't like the same music.
IMO, Kurt was a genius.

I've never been a Beatles fan (I'm too young to remember them when they were together), but I think "A Day In The Life" is one of the best classic rock tunes of all time.

LMAO!

Paris Hilton is the only celebrity on earth who has become famous with less talent. I haven't seen the video, but some have said that she is talented.

I was ten when the Beatles split.
The three most distressing moments of my childhood (all happened at age 10):
- The Beatles splitting up
- Mickey Mantle retiring from baseball
- Keri Martindale rejecting my amorous advances in favor of some dork who had just moved to the neighborhood from England.

Of course!.....LOL!
If your over forty, suicide by a rock performer is hardly earth shattering news, be it with a gun, single car "accident" or drug overdose...which I suspect is in Courtney Love's immediate future, btw.

Nope.
I've never even played Half-life, that pic came up when I searched shotgun on google.
