One guy who groaned into a microphone for a living blows his own head off for brutally selfish reasons. People mourn 15 years later.
The same day, nearly a million people start getting hacked to death with machetes for being born of the wrong parents. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rwanda_genocide] No one says a damned thing today.
Once more I'm reminded that the Internet is like a giant bowl of goldfish.

I notice all the people who don't like his music or get it are aged 20 and under. It's a very generational moment. Kind of like I don't understand how big a deal it was when Elvis, Hendrix, or Lennon died. It's just you have to have been a certain age at the time.
You have to realize at the time of his death he was a megastar and nearly everyone 14+ was awaiting any music he produced. I was 14 at the time it was a big deal. Also all those bands (which I personally dont like) like Puddle of Mud, Nickleback, Staind, Linkin Park, and whathave you sprang forth from Nirvana.
The soft playing followed by a sudden harder and louder sound and going back. Was unheard of in the mainstream at the time.
He accomplished a lot that's why he's recognized.
(PS Alice In Chains is better)

He took narcotics to deal with an undiagnosed stomach pain that was reported to sometimes put him in a coma like state of constant pain; hurting him so badly that he couldn't stand up and would vomit; ect. Imagine feeling like that every single day. Oh and getting a divorce. Even I - a former Narc Officer - can see how that would drive you to use heroin.Sandag said:
No, that's what becoming a massive star, having anything you want whenever you want, then trying to live up to this image perpetuated by the media of how rock stars should behave, along with cronic depression, a crazy wife AND drugs does to you.chaser[phoenix said:
I get what you're saying, but would you kill someone just to save him the pain?ace_of_something said:
Suicide is murder, it's just the victim that separates the two. I can't judge Kurt for what he did, sure, but I still think what he did was wrong. And it cost him his life.
The ego maniacal douschebag killed grunge, making sure the only equivalent we have today is that emo crap.
Theres no mourning as such, were discussing a point in time for music. There have been millions of tragedies throughout time. Man has form for douchebaggery against his fellow man. Yes Rawanda was horrible, you want a cookie?Anton P. Nym said:
I posted on the OPs topic, its common on forums. If you feel so strongly about it then start a thread slo we can discuss it or get off your soap box.
for a talentless hack, he sure had a very popular band AND still have a popular band, Smells like Teen Spirit still ranks #1 on a lot of top music listsInarticulate_Underachiever said:
ok so it's ok to mourn him, he didn't die of an overdoseSandag said:
i still remember when he died i was actually wearing a nirvana tshirt
To call the man a hack is unkind. He wasn't the second coming and there's no excuse for the cult of Kurt's death who moan about his demise, but it was a shame all the same.
