    Kurt Cobain

    Surprised no ones brought it up yet. Today is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain's (and ultimately Grunge Rock's) death. Hard to believe it's been 18 years since he died. Boy time can really fly sometimes.

    Gah! I was 23 when he passed, hard day for me.

    John Candy passed that week as well.

      I think nobody brought it up because (for the most part) suicides aren't really remembered anniversaries.

        Eh...whats the difference between a suicide and a drug overdose. Still a dark day for music regardless of how it happened.

          I was bummed all day yesterday, but MLK was 44 years ago.

          I saw the last show Kurt performed. He was really, really gone. Like out of his skull high. At one point Kris and Dave just walked off stage together and left him there. Kurt did some kind of meandering acoustic stuff. The lighting guys didn't seem to know what to do. It was not a good sight.

            Ick - what a terrible day. After a day at college I met a girl I was seeing for a coffee and she told me. She didn't care about Nirvana at all - and for some reason she had this smug look when she told me - like it was a punchline to a joke or something really trivial - which, to her I guess it might have been.

            I can't believe I stayed with her for almost two years. Ugh. Sour days.

                Wow time flies, he's the same age in years as I am. He'd be 45 if he were here today.

                      I don't think she had much to do with it beyond being a hot mess.
                      Besides ... Kurt actually wrote about a plan to do something like that after getting famous in his journals in high school from what I understand. He was a troubled guy.

                          This makes me feel old. I met Cobain/Nirvana by chance in early 1992 while waiting on line inside NBC studios at 30 Rock to see Late Night with David Letterman. It was a Friday and Nirvana was the scheduled musical guest for SNL the following night. They were in for rehearsal and all 3 of them came walking down the hall where they had us lined up, to get a tour of Letterman's studio before the show. The mostly older people on line had no idea who they were and basically were just looking at the "freaks" that were coming by. I stopped them on the way back out and told them I was a fan and they all signed a piece of paper which was all I had with me at the time (long gone unfortunately but it was pretty much scribble anyway).

                          Side note - after the Letterman show, we left the studio and hailed a cab and right as we were getting in the cab, Chris Farley came running towards us and begged us for our cab as he was in a rush to get somewhere. We gave it to him.

                          I managed to see Nirvana live once, the week before they taped Unplugged in Nov. 1993. Definitely a memorable show.

                          Also should mention that today is also the 10th anniversary of the death of Layne Staley of Alice in Chains. I was actually an even bigger fan of them than I was of Nirvana.
