Just bring it without the apostrophe. Thanks

Kurt
By Dan Bern
When Kurt Cobain blew out his brain,
All the little girls they cried like rain.
And as for me, I felt the pain,
But I got no t-shirts left to stain
For Kennedy, and Jesse James and
Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain.
You can hear them crying down the lane
From Portland to Maryland, from Greece to Spain.
And as my life drips like coffee down the drain,
My eyes dry up like a rusty chain.
So Kennedy, and Jesse James
Will have to cry for Kurt Cobain.
It's a hard life and no one's to blame
When God's not on the morning train.
If Cain don't kill Abel, Abel kills Cain
And tears now shed are shed in vain
For Kennedy, and Jesse James
And Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain.
There's three new roses growing in the lane.
It was a long hard winter but now there's rain.
If you want my tears, tell me your name.
Give me your hand, let me feel your pain.
But for Kennedy, and Jesse James
There's Joan of Arc and Kurt Cobain.
Is this your next form of plagarism? 2nd cut single?
Hey, without the period, motherfucker.
Think you've had one too many. Time for beddy bed time ya drunkaerd!Quote:

I'm drunk but you can't spell, which just makes you stupid.
The day Kurt died a friend of mine said something callous, but I've got to admit, funny: "that liar. He did have a gun."
And she's still alive and won't shut up.
Thanks Kurt, you made the Foo Fighters possible.
Kurt Cobain and John Lennon are dead and Courtney Love and Yoko Ono are alive. Where's the justice?!
I believe Courtney had the gun.
I think it's f'ed up that some people lump him into the category with other great rock stars who left us before their time was up. He was the frontman of a decent grunge band, not the voice of a generation nor was he a musical pioneer.
IMHO - anyone who offs themselves, especially if they have children, are fucking cowards. If you're troubled - get help. Face your issues, don't run from them. Do I own and enjoy Nirvana albums? Yes. Do I deify Kurt Cobain or associate him with the troubles of "Generation X?" No way.
I've got the suicide blues
It's like masterbation,
it's something only I can do
The Leaving Trains
that is pretty funny. I don't think it's callous, just dark.Quote:

Uhh... maybe you were living in the LBC in the early 90's, but where I was at the time, everybody identified with the guy. Even teeny boppers and yuppies. Maybe not for rational reasons, but they did. If you recall the music at the time before Nirvana it was that no talent asshole Michael Bolton, Milli Vanilli, Mr Big. Stuff that makes me wanna puke. Then Nirvana came out; something with balls. Luckily if it weren't for them Dr Dre would've saved the day. I'm not trying to make him out to be more than he was either, but he wasn't just some singer in a band.Quote:

Anyone who knows nothing about psycholgical disorders is fucking ignorant. You can't just sack up; your brain won't let you. I'm not saying that all people are clinically depressed. Someone who's a little down has to help themselves, but someone who's totally fucked up like he was doesn't have the capability to do so.Quote:

There was some great punk rock back in the 80s...a lot of good bands set the table for Nirvana, same message, same power and passion, different timing.Quote:

Yeah, he was. Just a singer in a below average band that got lucky. I don't know where you were, but none of the people that I knew (who cared about music and had never listened to Milli Bolton Madonna Big Stuff) really thought that much of Nirvana. Loud, 4 chord music with a lot of distortion and bad singing--it had already been done a million times before.Quote:

Nirvana flat out ruled. Period. Dude was a great musician and their music, even when you listen to it today, is unique and powerful. The only time I turn the radio when they come on is when All Apologies is playing again. I listen to In Utero to get pumped for hitting the slopes still.
Sad that he's gone. Even more sad that Courtney has to raise their kid cause she's even more f'd up than Kurt was.
The same marketing forces that made the no-talent ass clowns famous are the same ones that put nirvana on the radio, smerhamrahamalammadingdong.
And I've seen bullshit on TV listing Hendrix, Joplin, Lennon, and lumping Cobain in there, too. Which one does not belong there? At least the others either were assassinated or boozed/drugged themselves to death like real rock stars should.
And abandoning your child is purely selfish, esp. when it means having her raised by your crackhead wife.
No shit. It's downright offensive to see Cobain put alongside true musical geniuses. The guy was a mediocre guitar player (no chops at all, from what I've seen) with an average ear for a catchy tune.
Shit voice.
That's it.
Garage band that made it--nothing more.
I think the newest Rolling Stone puts Nirvana in with the 50 best of all time. It's patently ridiculous. To mention them in the same breath as the Beatles, Stones, or Zeppelin completely undermines what the aforementioned three did to Rock n' Roll as we know it.Quote:

cobain was an addict wasn't he? and a depression bad enough for a suicide would seem to indicate a serious mental instability i.e. the guy was very ill ........and not in a rational frame of mind. he may have thought he was doing his kid a favor by checking himself out... i agree that he was good, but not in the same league as the musicians you mention.Quote:

The guy was great and played good tunes. No Tal Farlow, FZ or even a derivative blues player like Clapton or Page, but his popularity is undeniable.
Brought himself out of a sad, loser molested background in Aberdeen. More than most of you critics have even approached. Now that he's past popular, that makes it easy to sneer, eh?
Despite my thinking of "Suicide Chump" with regard to his death, there was a lot to the guys style.
Married to a bitch like Courtney, I'd probably do the same.
C'mon now.....Nirvana was one of the greatest bands ever, Kurt Cobain could do things with his voice that no one thought possible, most liked it, some didn't......The strain that he put on his vocal chords, in almost all his songs, gave so much emotion and is something all singers are told NOT to do......Most would have no voice after a year of doing what he did....Not that i put too much pride into these things, but VH1 counted down top 100 voices/singers and Kurt was number 7
And Dave Grohl, this guy has got to be one of the greatest musicians of all time - drummer for nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age, Lead singer foo fighters, and i think one other boxcar racer er something im not sure......At one point he had 3 different albums on the top 20.....Thats no garage band drummer who got lucky.....
Listen to Nirvana Unplugged, has to be one of the best all around albums ever, every song is right on.....
Nirvana rocks.
Kurt was an heroin Junkie everyone knew that, but he also had SEVERE stomach problems/ulcers that he could not get rid of and no doctor had the answer for. And i dont think that crackwhore Courtney Love was any help, the past couple days MTV had 2 experts on saying something like this "At the time of Kurt's death he had injected 3 times the normal amount of heroin into his bloodstream, and any mortal would not have the ability to physically pick up a rifle and hit the trigger" they seemed to think that he may have had some help = Courtney Love?Quote:

granted they also say that at the point he was at, he had built up such a tolerance to this drug abuse, so who knows
It's not like people who became fans of Nirvana were listening to this shit previously, though. There was plenty of other good music being made at that time. For whatever reason grunge caught the attention of the music press and I think that's largely what brought it from just another little musical niche to being wildly popular in the early '90s. I think Nirvana deserves recognition for being one of the leading lights in grunge (and why do others like Soundgarden or Mudhoney get so much less attention?), but I don't think Nirvana deserves the status of one of the greatest bands in the history of rock.Quote:

Nirvana was a great band, but to put them in the top 25 of any list is ludicrous. Pearl Jam is and will be more influentail globaly, by a long shot, than Nirvana will ever be.
Props to Kurt for what he was, but let's not get carried away, here.
The guy definately conveyed alot of emotiion in his music. Some of his music was total and complete shit. While some of his work was brilliant. It is really too bad he offed himself. It would suck to be a civil servant for eternity.
Andy Woods was as good as any, but the top grade black tar got him too. L'Andrew the Love Child rooled at the same time.
Definitely. Alice In Chains & Soundgarden were my staples at the time..Still are, actually.
One of the girls that worked for me at the time was SO UPSET when we heard of his death that she literally broke down. Had to leave work. Freakin' nuts, was she.
Never really understood the Nirvana fascination m'self. Solid drives, but Kurt was a chop.
I see a lot of people complaining that Nirvana shouldn't be lumped in with people like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones. If Nirvana doesn't belong in that category, what are some bands from the 90's that do? (Pearl Jam has already been mentioned, and I would agree that they belong in that list). Name some bands, or admit that you're all a bunch of old farts who are still living in the past.
Prime:
Zappa
King Crimson
Tool
Pearl Jam
Considered:
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
REM
Alice In Chains
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Smashing Pumpkins
Primus/Claypool
Radiohead
Moby
Does that qualify me as both?
A little delayed, but skiing related...
I heard the news that old Kurt Cobain injected his head with bird shot while eating breakfast in the Motel 6 in South Lake Tahoe, my brother and I discussed the matter, made some disparaging remarks about Nirvana (they weren't "punk enough" for us) and concluded shooting yourself in the head is pretty fucked up (how insightful). I then turned my attention to soaking my toast with egg yoke. A few hours latter I was at Kirkwood for the first time and loving it's terrain. 10 years latter I still enjoy skiing at Kirkwood and Kurt Cobain is still dead.
And therefore?Quote:
