    Pennyroyal Tea sums up Mr. Cobain almost to a "T". (no pun). For me, his death is the first that I can recall, of death by suicide of someone who was such an icon. I think it's hard to fathom that so many people can 'love' or admire someone so much, and yet that person is so stuck in the depths of whatever they are stuck in and doesn't know or feel the support and love that surrounds them.

    I didn't cry that day, but I was sad. Still have the newspaper from the next day.

    There are so many tragedies, told and untold, that unfortunately it gets easier by the day to make a list like this. Thanks for the walk down memory lane, sad as it may be!

    Looking forward to reading more of your blog!

    Thanks for dropping by to comment.

    Some people won't get the Cobain thing. I didn't at one point. I'm not sure I still truly do on a personal level. I love Nirvana and it's one of my "go to" bands when I want to listen to something. When I was in high school it was my senior year. I was into hip-hop and rap. It wasn't until the following year I ended up listening to a lot of rock that I got more into it. To some level I always enjoyed rock - but I was more likely to buy C&C Music Factory then any rock album.

    So once I got into Nirvana, Kurt Cobain was already dead. So I don't think his loss can reach me the same way. I think some of Nirvana's lyrics are nonsensical, and that's fine. It's the voice not the words that spoke for my generation. The same way I think Hendrix spoke for his. Some things transcend it all and I think in the greater picture is what Kurt really did.
