Isn't it crazy how all of that time goes by?

I was in high school, coming home when we heard the news on the radio. We thought it was a joke, or another attempt-induced coma.

You know, I really miss him.

I wasn't a BIG Nirvana fan, but in my old band we used to play 'In Bloom'.

p.s. ihopethingsarebettertoday :wave:

The first time I heard "Come as You Are" on the radio, I thought it was the greatest thing I'd ever heard. I loved him, and the more I listen to Nirvana, the more I *get* him.

I loved everything about Nirvana.  Kurt DID seem such a kind soul.  I watched on tv this morning a book is coming out that talks about Kurts death being murder, not suicide.  Did you here that?  They imply that Courtney murdered him.  That he had so much heroine in his system, he couldnt have shot himself.  I would like to read the book for shit and giggles. 

I think they are in the top bands of all times.  I really miss their music.:(

I had "All Apologies" stuck in my head for days when I first heard it -- in a good way.  Other favorites are some of the cover songs on Nirvana's Unplugged album, specifically "The Man Who Sold the World." 

I remember where I was working.  I remember who I was living with when I was listening to Nirvana.  I remember wearing black for a week when I heard.  I was in shock.  I even bought a book on suicide letters later on. 

I've been listening to a tribute to him on KROCK, a popular rock station in NYC and I was thinking how sad that he killed himself, that so many talented young people in music and in every day life do things like this. 

I was chatting via IM with BoyToy and he said he likes RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE better.  They're from different eras but I see why he brought up Rage.  Because both bands in a sense celebrate the right to get angry. 

So I asked him why he doesn't like Nirvana anymore and he said because they were anti-life.  That really made me think...  Nirvana wrote songs that spoke of pain and crisis just for the sake of the suffering.  They appealed to a young nation of people who relate more to pain than to joy. 

I'm not saying Curt wasn't  a brilliant musician but he was never really of the living and his lyrics and music have that written all over them...  being able to relate so strongly to that is troubling to me. 

I don't listen to bands like Nirvana or Tracy Chapman or NIN any longer because they're too dark.

I was the Mom of a 9 month old and a 3 year old and we loved Nirvana. Our oldest loved to dance to them.

My favorite is Come As you Are..can you believe that these few lyrics can be so poignant

Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, as an old enemy
Take your time, hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late
Take a rest as a friend as an old memoria

Come dowsed in mud, soaked in bleach
As I want you to be
As a trend, as a friend, as an old memoria

And I swear that I don't have a gun
No I don't have a gun

I wasn't a fan of Nirvana's music and I am still not to this day.  I used to wonder why so many people were into Cobain and why he was worshipped so highly.  Then I thought about my musical influences.  I thought about what John Lennon means to me.  And George Harrison.  And Elvis Presley.  And Maurice Gibb.  And several others.

While I may not have been a fan of his, I do get it now. 

i love nirvana! but i was only 6 when Kurt killed himself. my fav song is all apologies.

I love Nirvana, Kurt Cobain. There are just too many awesome songs to pick just one!

I love that song. But I have to say, I really love Teen Spirit.

I was driving home from my job at a go-go bar when I heard tehnews on the radio.
