hellion, i'm afraid  i'm going  to have to disagree with you on this 
point.  kurt cobain did nothing more (for me  anyhow) than start  the 
commercialization and  bastardization of  the music I love.  A lot of  the 
bands that I like have songs about a lot  of the same  things, but because 
they aren't good looking or trendy or otherwise MTV-friendly, I have a 
devil of a time finding their stuff or info on them.  I think it's 
ridiculous to have to look for nearly a year for an album that is still in 
print.   And  although I detest MTV,  I kinda wish my favorites would get 
on there once  in a while so everyone else would see how great they are.  
But Kurt Cobain ruined that.  Now you have  to be some sort of tortured 
soul  to get on there...and  while being  a tortured soul can be fun, not 
everyone is  unhappy. (of course, this is just what I see)  And while I 
agree with what kurt cobain was trying to say with his music, that doesn't 
mean I have to venerate his death.  He was *no* John Lennon.  John Lennon 
was someone everyone lost when he was murdered, only people who liked 
nirvana lost kurt cobain.  (spokesman of our generation? bah!)

Anyhow....that's just what *I* think.  Feel free to disagree...
