Default Kurt Cobain: 20 years later
Surprised that there isn't a thread on this yet so I figured I'd make one.

Today, April 5th 2014, marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Kurt Cobain. I was playing street hockey with some friends when we heard about it.

Kinda crazy to think he'd only be 47 today if he were still around.

I recommend anyone to read the biography Heavier Than Heaven by Charles R Cross, even if you aren't a fan of his music it's a very interesting look at how someone can struggle with depression.

Gonna go listen to some Nirvana now.

Been listening to Unplugged all day. I'm not a die hard Nirvana fan, but Kurt made some damn good music.

I especially like the unplugged version of Polly. Probably my favourite track.

Yes, and Courtney Love is still free too. I don't buy conspiracy theories but her guilt in arranging his murder is not a conspiracy, it is a damn certainty.

Tell me more dissentowner... I'm unfamiliar with the theory.

I don't want to hate Courtney Love because Live Through This is a grunge masterpiece. All killer no filler.

Yeah, that's true lol. It was contrived. Just wanted to point out the theory.
