And? So what? You think there is something brave, heroic, inspiring or charming about committing suicide? Why don't you say that to the people left behind?

And yes, there is a reason I pinged Kangaroo Jacqui. I want you to tell her, too.

Hold on a second. Where did I ever say anything positive about suicide? Suicide is a terrible tragedy, of which I have felt the effects personally three times in my life.

I guess you really didn't get my point, which is that suicide may color your view of how a deeply troubled person led their life, but it shouldn't. Are van Gogh's paintings less beautiful? Are Hemmingway's novels less poignent? Was Lewis' expedition less heroic? Was Marilyn Monroe less desirable?

Nirvana's music isn't your taste? Fine. Using Cobain's suicide as part of your critique of that music? Not fine. The music was produced long before he pulled the trigger.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Now you hold on a second. Cobain's musical contribution is absolutely not relevant. What exactly are we observing? The tenth anniversary of Cobain's death. That's what the bloody article you posted is about. NOT his music.

Got that? Good.
