- Kurt Cobain, Nirvana, February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994
April 5, 1994 was different. Sometime during the day, a shot gun did the ominous task of delivering its deadly cargo into a human head resulting in almost instantaneous death! Three days later on April 8, the world was told of Kurt Cobain's death! A lot was said and some out of the ordinary speculations were made from time to time by many people connected to the investigations. But what remains is that at 27, the world had come to tragically lose one of the best musicians it had ever known!
So it Smells like teen spirit? But you said Come as you are, in a Heart Shaped Box! Why? For All Apologies? It must be for Polly to Drain You right? I can understand how it is In Bloom when Something in the Way, About a Girl seems Dumb to Breed the question Where Did You Sleep Last Night! Did you drink PennyRoyal Tea, On a Plain, near the School? I'm sure the Radio Friendly Unit Shifter taught you to know what it was like to have Been a Son more than a Scentless Apprentice! You Know You're Right when you Serve the Servants but I will not understand the Negative Creep, when you say Downer in Stain! No I will not be Sifting the Turnaround for the Very Ape Swap Meet and I certainly will not appreciate you calling Floyd the Barber!
Hey Kurt, wake up, you've turned 42! Its your Birthday today, Wake up Mr. Moustache, lets go get ourselves some Mexican Seafood!
Dammit, what the heck have you done? I should have freakin known when you yelled I Hate Myself and Want to Die! This is a lot more than Bambi Slaughter!
What can I say of the Man Who Sold the World?
Rest In Peace!

ReplyDeleteYeah! Kurt was very inspiring! He was much like a religion! Hard to fathom but yet a legend!
I did read his suicide note many a time and felt quite the way you did!
Of all his quotes, my most fav is "I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not."
Thanks for your comments

ReplyDeleteYeah, 27 is terribly young an age to go away!
But then, sometimes one feels having lived too long even at 27! Perhaps Kurt felt so!
And sometimes I do too!
