Just sayin.

no, kurt's music was solid, worked both as screamed rock anthems and as the MTV acustic album proved, as folk balads, he was a major influence on the - zeitgeist Sep 24, 12:08 1

I wonder if this would have reduced Courtney Love to a Real Housewive of some city. -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:49 4
- I think you mean elevated. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:51

  - Mrs. Hasselbeck so she can bitch about her sister-in-law -- nm - crash davis Sep 24, 11:55 1
    - Don't forget Maria Cantwell, former CEO of Real Network, current member of the US House of Reps. -- nm - Trish Sep 24, 12:07
He'd probably be a semi-hermit living on his own private island in the San Juans, still suffering from excruciating abdominal pain, finally detoxed - Trish Sep 24, 11:47 4
- would his stomach issues been gluten problem -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 24, 12:00
- Yeah, i'm thinking he wasn't long for public life if Courtney ha...err if he hand't killed himself. - Stephen Sep 24, 11:49 2
  - I read his journal and it gave me a totally different perspective on the guy. - Trish Sep 24, 12:02 1
    - I did not know any of this - interesting -- nm - Epiphany Sep 24, 12:10
only because his later output wouldn't have been able to keep up. - Reagen Sep 24, 11:44 17
- there's still a a decent Shannon Hoon group here in Indiana -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 11:53
- Suck is suck. -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:49 10
  - I wouldn't say suck, I like some of it, but over-hyped would certainly work for me. -- nm - Stephen Sep 24, 11:53 6
    - Over-hyped without a doubt. Nirvana wasn't even the best of their own genre. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 11:55 5
      - They were a mediocre Soundgarden impersonator with two decent songs. -- nm - David Sep 24, 12:00 4
        
        As someone who still listens to a lot of both, I don't get this comparison - Reagen Sep 24, 12:08 2
        
        SG contained a good helping of metal/Black Sabbath, something that's not at all part of Nirvana's sound -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 12:10 1
        
        Sabbath is a good pull out of that, yeah. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 12:11
        
        Soundgarden was exactly who I was thinking of. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 12:01
  - we are all filled up with crazy today. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:50 2
    - i'm writing this off as some sort of post-2012 stupor -- nm - prayformojo Sep 24, 11:52 1
      - fair point. You can't come out of that unharmed. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:52
- excellent point (I still have one Blind Melon song on my playlist) -- nm - crash davis Sep 24, 11:47
- Nevermind, In Utero, Kurt Cobain Sings the Best of Burt Bacharach, cliff -- nm - Alternate Reality TFox Sep 24, 11:47
- I'd suggest that if Cobain was still alive he'd be more like Axl Rose than the music God he's considered now. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 11:45 2
  - unless he put out only one crappy album in fifteen years, not even close -- nm - bugsy Sep 24, 11:47 1
    - I'm suggesting that as music caught up with him (which it didn't take long to do) I don't know that he could have adapted. - Jim Sep 24, 11:49
Beiber's biggest fallacy is failing to realize that he is NKOTB or Tiffany, and that Nirvana ended the musical reign of people like that. -- nm - ty97 Sep 24, 11:44 4
- he is *16 years old*. Teenagers, by definition, have no sense of proportion for this stuff. Everything is the present. - Andie Sep 24, 11:45 1
  - I make this point when Gilly Bean bumps her head. She's six months old - that literally is the worst thing that's ever happened to her. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:49
- Of course, no one's been able to prove Beiber actually said that. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 11:44 1
  - Yeah, I saw that quote last night but couldn't source it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:46
totally true -- nm - Andie Sep 24, 11:39
