April 5th will be the 13th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's suicide. He was 27. Only 27.
I graduated high school in 1993, and more than any band that I have ever seen during my lifetime, Nirvana actually changed the landscape of popular music. I mean when Nevermind was released, it debuted at number one...knocking Michael Jackson out of the top spot, it that doesn't signify a sea change in American youth culture, I don't know what does. His music really did change the culture of America.
I was going to write more, but 13yrs later it still makes me sad to think about it. He was an amazing songwriter who never wanted to be a rock star, and never really figured out how to do it. But anyone who has ever listened to a Nirvana record is better off for having done so...thanks Kurt, I still love you.

You are so right.
When I look at all the albums I bought before Smells Like Teen Spirit and all the albums I've bought after................my live and taste seems to have taken a major step forward.
