Odd, I was just thinking about Cobain the other day, without knowing his birthday was coming up. I don't listen to Nirvana that much anymore, but they were something special. I remember the first time I heard "Smells Like Teen Spirit": I was returning home from the grocery store and it came on the radio. The song was still playing as I parked, and I sat there to hear the rest of it. This is the only time I have ever stayed in the car to hear the end of a song I'd never heard before. I remember when I learned he'd died, and I was surprised to find I was actually upset--the deaths of celebrities rarely affect me. He always seemed so sad.

no, i'm with you on this man. it took a long while for me to stop being angry at him. despite the fact that i fully understand, i feel, what drove him to do it. just pissed that he took his music away from us...but that's the selfishness of a "fan." i'm sad, too. under that.
on a tech tip...it's annoying that your cookies dont work. that is i have to type in my longass info everytime i comment. this used to be the case on my blog and i feel it discourages commenting. that's not a threat, yo. chill OUT.

"I’m looking forward to a few more years of playing with this band. Then a few years later I might say a few years more. I don’t try to predict the future, burl know I’m not going to be rich for the rest of my life. I have money now, but within ten years we’ll blow it. I’ll have to get a job or have a solo career or something equally embarrassing."

I'm with you too. I usually am not moved by celebrity deaths, but this one hit me, and I still feel like we really lost out by not getting to hear what else he would have done.

I tried several times to make a post about how I feel about Cobain, but I can't.
Suffice to say: yeah.

Thanks, everybody. Gavin, that's a great quote.
nezua limón, I don't know why it's doing that; it's certainly no deliberate choice of mine. I will try to get it to stop. Would a captcha-type thing be less irritating than typing in email?

no, its cool. i mean, i only have to type the first letter of each word and my autofill in my browser does the rest. i think this is better, cuz people still have to put their names in. its not really a BIG deal. i just get very geeky at times with the intranex. was sort of just talkin at ya in a blogowner sort of style, not a complaining visitor style. if ya get me.

I was trying to find something else he said to me, about how he wanted his next album to be much weirder and orchestrated with cellos and oboes and such, and possibly be a collection of duets with Michael Stipe.
If he had lived, I like to think he'd have a really interesting and wide-ranging body of music by now. I can't believe it's been twelve-plus years since he died; it's still all really fresh in my mind.

i used to record my phone calls back in the days our government wasn't. i have boxes of cassettes of phone calls, soliloquys, various gatherings. i still have the tape where my best friend at the time called me and told me he was dead. on the tape i was definitely affected, but i also pointed out that i knew it would happen, as he had "accidentally" ODd on pills/booze just a few weeks earlier and i didnt believe it was an accident even at the time and said so.
the world is just too painful for some souls and i dont blame them a bit.
