Nevermind

I'll always love Kurt Cobain, and his band, and his music.

To the junk heads, he's God. To the conservatives, he was a lunatic, alcoholic and drug abused rockstar who killed himself.

All I know is that he was brilliant. And started a strong new genre of music. He asked the questions no one dared to ask, and said things that weren't meant to be said.

He is a legend.

She should have stayed away from friends. She should have had more time to spend. She should died when she was born. She should have worn a crown of thorns. She should have... been a son. She should have... been a son.

I was thinking yesterday of how society has brought us up to be wary, and alarmed by people with mental stabilites, and problems. But it must be remembered that most of our most brilliant artists, scientists, painters, musicians, authors, philosophers were thought to be mad. But irrespective of the art they create, these are the poeple who's lives and situations and stories have brought out the important questions, and questions that we need to ask ourselves. Not individually, but as society.

Questions about incest, and violence, and abuse. These people with the problems, will grow up to be the most sensitive to issues, and most volatile to react. And the questions that come up, need to be answered.

On a lighter note, here is a Kurt Cobain quote that I've been admiring the past few days:

We'll float around, and hang out on clouds, and then we'll come down, and have a hang-over.

- from Dumb, by Nirvana.
