We lost Kurt Cobain on this date 19 years ago. Thanks for the tunes.

Kirk was the kick in the arse the music industry needed at the time. Too bad Michael Stipe never got to him. Probably could have saved him.

James T. Kirk?

Friends used to call me Tiberius, Kirk's middle name.

I remember we ate at The Outback that night and my daughter and I were not very hungry. My ex-wife asked "what's wrong with you two?" and we said "Kurt Cobain is dead". She said "So?" and I knew we were doomed.

Reckless Abandon . . . kills.


Be a good name for a band.

Oy vey. Sure... why not he was a bit spacey.

If you don't know the whole story, Kurt was plagued with stomach pain to the point he just wanted it to end. Anyone who has ever been in severe pain can understand, death seems like a good way out even though we know that's not the answer.

Don't feel bad Jahva I have a friend named Kirk and a friend named Kurt and I ALWAYS get those names mixed up. I guess its a southern thing!

The spelin Nazi's are at it again! Nothing better to do I guess.

Courtney gives me the same pain whenever I see a picture of her or hear her attempts at music ....

Jeff no worries man.
Besides in this case I didn't miss-spell just used the wrong name. Either way Kurt was a much needed change of pace.

That is why he took up heroin, to kill the stomach pains.

The first Hole album wasn't bad, before Courtney married Kurt.
I think she became competitive with him, not just wanting to be the wife of a rock star, and it ruined her band's music.

What? You mean she didn't murder him?

Also, this is the anniversary of Layne Staley's death.
