Shine on You Crazy Diamonds


Has it really been 16 years to the day since the death of Kurt Cobain? I don't like to throw around the word "genius", but I really think that Kurt Cobain was pretty close. He fronted a musical revolution filled with slackers, inspired millions of kids (including this one) to play guitar, and hearing his music today you can hear his influence on other songwriters. Like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain died before we could hear what he could actually accomplish or see him fall completely on his face instead of shooting it off with a shotgun.

R.I.P. Kurt.



PS- Layne Staley from Alice in Chains died four years ago around this time. His actual time of death is approximated to today because his body was dead for two weeks before it was discovered.
