Never liked his stuff - too angry, harsh.

Forensic accountants are now trying to determine where tens of millions of dollars from Cobain's estate ended up...

Have they looked up Courtney's nose?

[Dallas59]

His choice...

[OB1kNOb]

Shooting star......

I was blown away the first time I heard “Smells Like Teen Spirit” but I thought their music got old very fast. All the songs sounded the same, I could only handle his singing in small doses. It’s a shame the guy killed himself, not least because it left his daughter in the care of that whacked-out skank wife of his, but I’ve never understood the Cobain-worship some people engage in.

Courtney Love

Hell, if I were Kurt, I'd have eaten a shotgun too.

[P8riot]

Kurt who?

[Constitution Day]

I still remember exactly where I was when I heard.

But Nirvana's music endured

Actually, it hasn't at all. It's incredibly dull and dated stuff. All sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Truth is, Dave Grohl was a much more talented singer and musician than Cobain ever was (and I think Cobain knew it).

Of all the frivolous, self-absorbed 90's alt-rockers, I think Smashing Pumpkins and Soundgarden have held up the best.

[The Toll]

Most over rated band EVER!!!

According to Holmes, Love recently discovered that "managers, assistants, CPAs, lawyers, people like that who were supposed to be entrusted with carrying for their well-being and finances basically looted the estate."

It's an ugly world when the people you're required to turn to for legal help are the ones who take you... ugly world.

Ahhhh 90’s grunge. Kurt rocked.

Back in the first half of the 20th Century, Sinclair Lewis (a Minnesota author) wrote the book “Main Street”, a scathing look at life in small towns.

Although he denied it (with not much conviction), people in the town of Sauk Centre (where Lewis hailed from) thought the book was written about them. Lewis was shunned by many in the city and never went back - as far as I know.

Sauk Centre later refurbished Lewis’s birthplace and opened a small visitors center and casts themsleves as the birthplace of Sinclair Lewis.

I see that Aberdeen has now started a “Curt Cobain Memorial Committee” to honor a former resident who dissed them too. Curt Coabin may have had some musical genius in the early years but many of his years were clouded by questionable (and drug-influenced) decisions.

Although there are some distinct differences between what Sinclair Lewis wrote and lived and what Curt Cobain said and lived, I just fail to see how some of these towns can have the gall to honor someone who never honored them.

Grunge rock......yecchhhh

Of course he’s still remembered.

They’re still trying to get the stains out of the carpet!

[autumnraine]

I’ll never forget learning about that. Such a shock! Of course Courtney Love’s drunk rambling kind of brought me out of my stupor and I went “Yeah, he had some issues obviously. But poor Francis Bean!”
