Kurt Cobain Journals, Riverhead books page 44: "I mean it seems like there are only two options for songwriters personalities either theyre sad, tragic visionaries like MORRISSEY or MICHAEL STIPE or ROBERT SMITH or theres the goofy, nutty white boy, hey, lets party and forget everything people like Van Halen or all other heavy metal crap. I mean I like to be passionate and sincere, but I also like to have fun and act like a dork" --- Smiths also writes: In November 1991, Gilbert Blecken did an interview with Kurt Cobain. The interview was published in the British Kerrang! in 1999. Here is the complete interview transcript (towards the bottom of the page / search for Morrissey) http://www.nirvanaclub.com/nevermind/ When speaking about not taking the band too seriously, the following exchange took place... Gilbert : Do you hope to maintain that way of looking at things? Kurt: Sure, we have to. It's just weird... I've noticed that with a lot of bands you can either be anally serious, sad and depressed like Morrissey, or you can be a big joke like The Butthole Surfers. Usually it's in these two extremes, and I think we feel comfortable in between.

You can pick holes 'though in the ridiculous dialectic Cobain sets up between "serious" and "fun" artists, and the way he implicitly reveres himself as if he were the first artist ever to think of steering a middle ground between the two.
Tell that to Public Enemy, Kurt!

Yes, Kurt is dead and what did he leave behind? Pain, anger, nothingness... a bunch of songs that nobody remembers any more.

OK, so let's wish everyone death to everyone who speaks against Morrissey?? I don't think so!! His widow might be as useful as a tampon without a string (IGNORANT COMMENT), but guess what?? She's friends with Morrissey, OK??
And by the way, I don't know where you live but here in the States, tampons do come without strings now.

Anyway, in many respects Kurt is overrated. Nirvana sounded like a cheap Replacements knock-off in their earlier years. Nevertheless, he brought forth different emotions and different stylings to music that was certainly more substancial than the music of the time. (The early 90's -- with the exception of the Seattle scene at the time, the Smashing Pumpkins, Morrissey's Your Arsenal, and U2's Achtung Baby, etc. -- sucked majorly when it came to music. The whole MC Hammer thing was big...tsk, tsk.) Nirvana's music was pure. And that's what was good about it. It had real, raw emotion attached to it. I'd much rather have 10 Nirvanas out there than 5 Britneys. I mean, at least it was real...
Courtney Love calls many cool celebrities her friends, including Morrissey and a few of my other favorite musicians, but I still can't stand the woman. She drove Kurt to his supposed suicide. I bet she made him nuts...
...I've read many articles, reports, and books about the whole Kurt and Courtney thing, and I firmly believe that she had something to do with his death. I know it in my heart.
Anywho, I like Nirvana. Therefore, I'm a person who cares about Kurt. Maybe music would be a little better off if he was still around...
