ErmmI think the way our society tends to idolize (famous) suicides (and celebs who die young in general) is SICK.

The music's angst & anger may "speak" to the young, but KC was a grown man.

Suicide is a supremely violent, hateful, cowardly act, which deeply and permanently hurts those who love the victim. A brave, intelligent adult knows when to seek help. Men stay to face and fight their problems, deal with reality, and try to improve their lot -- boys just run away.

Cobain was obviously deeply troubled and sick, and lacked the strength of character to fight his demons -- why is he then a hero?

(The songs did NOTHING for me, either. His pain and anger was not mine, and I found the music grating.)

No insult meant to all the Nirvana/KC fans out there, mind you, but Cobain's posthumous elevation to near-sainthood reflects an unhealthy death-obsessed youth and music culture, IMO.Stern Smile

Sometimes, your best career move, when you've climbed too far, too fast, is to die -- the gorier the death, the more we seem to relish it. Dead

Sick.

Have you seen Courtney Love?

I'd first blow my head off too. E'gad, what a monster.

I like some Nirvana stuff, but I never thought it to be much more than teen angst whining for the coffee drinkin' heroin crowd. Too bad they didn't know how to tune a guitar.

I've never liked any of Cobain's music, and just don't get why he is supposed to be such a heroic, important figure.Confused

Oh wait -- he killed himself and died young. That's "cool," right? Stern Smile

Anger, despair and self-loathing are such admirable traits....Dead

To me, Nirvana was always a distant fourth in the Seattle scene behind Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, & Mudhoney. Still good though...some of the catchiest melodies in heavy music's history.

He does the Meat Puppets better than the Meat Puppets do. The Vaselines too. He was definitely a good pop songwriter (if not guitarist ), it's just a shame he was held up as a shining example of rebellion .
