I like Kurt Cobain....yeah.

I'm reading Kurt Cobain's journal again at the moment and this one entry always sticks with me....


Quote:
I like to complain and do nothing to make things better.

I like to blame my parents generation for soming so close to social exchange then giving up after a few successful efforts by the media and government to deface the movement by using the mansons and other hippie representatives as propaganda examples on how they were nothing but unpatriotic, communist, satanic, unhuman diseases and in turn the baby boomers become the ultimate, conforming yuppie hyprocrits a generation has ever produced.

I like to calmy and rationally discuss my views in a conformais manor even though I consider myself to the extreme left.

I like to infiltrate the mechanics of a system by posing as one of them, then slowly start to rot from the inside of the empire.
I like to assinate the lesser and greater of two evils.
I like to impeach God.
I like to Abort Christ.
I like to fuck sheep.
I like the comfort in knowing that women are generally superior and naturally less violent than men.
I like the comfort in knowing that women are the only future of rock and roll.
I like the comfort in knowing that the Afro American invented Rock and Roll, yet has only been awarded or rewarded for their accomplishments when conforming to the white man’s standards.
I like the comfort in knowing that the Afro American has once again been the only race that has brought a new form of original music to this decade, i.e. hip hop/rap.

Censorship is very American

I have met many able to store and translate a pregnantly large amount of information, yet they havent an ounce of talent for wisdoms or the appreciation of passion.

The conspiracy towards success in America is immediacy.

To expose in great repetition to the minds of small attention spans, fast, speedy, now with even more nacho cheese flavour! here today, gone tomorrow was nothing more than a tool in every individuals need for self importance, entertainment and social rituals.
Art that has long lasting value cannot be appreciated by majoritites, only the same, small percent will value arts patience as they always have.
This is good.
The ones who are unaware do not deserve false suggestions in their purchasing duties.
Scenarios revolve, verbal communication is exhausted, sitcoms are scenarios and so is out conversation.
Our party gathers out of boredom, role playing for affection and acceptance and to disinfect nagging germs ending in silence and accomplishment - produced violations on those who werent here to play.

They were invited, maybe in a museum far from now.

I'm now in my sad stage, before it was naive hate. I want to be the first to discover and discard before its popularity. Tomorrow the wont care stage is predicted and I am not looking forward to it. Maybe vegetables will diffuse the chemicals I produce inside me, an easy excuse (these chemicals). I rarely use my instrument, it used to be so exciting, working on music is not a chore. Its now a waste of time to practise. Every other month I buy the results from the air.
Ask not what you can do to your rock star.
I would of loved to spend time with this man.

My friend's dad was his high school english teacher. He always said Cobain was generally respectful and quiet. Typical nerdy artist type.

I saw them on a little from-the-back-of-the-van tour with their very first album. it was in a little bitty bar that had all ages shows and there were probably only 20-30 of us there. He and the guys were just mellow soft spoken guys til they got on stage and out came the songs from Bleach. Awesome stuff. Completely different than anything else we were hearing at the time. A year later cheerleaders were humming "teen spirit" and it all fell apart from there, but it was fun for a time.

Ibram, don't hate the dead guy. Hate the little posers who wear his shirts and quote him now even though they couldn't even walk when he ate a bullet.

I liked the Cobain! 'Tis too bad for sure! Like all the other musicians I liked that died, they always leave little clues/suicide notes years or just months before they finally kick the bucket. Sad really....

If that's a representative sample of Cobain's writing -- well, I wish he'd written more literately. Jim Morrison seemed to write better -- and with attitudes that weren't too dissimilar. But better spelt.

Having seen all that stuff while it was flowering -- meh, I don't give it the value some do, or did. It collapsed of its own inner faults, and its survivors give it the sentimental regard of memories of a former time; that's all.

Smells Like Teen Spirit: Tori Amos covered it; Weird Al Yankovic fried it.

I wonder if people like Belushi, Cobain and Hendricks would be legends if they'd lived longer. I think in many cases people we admire that died young would have become marginalized and forgotten, or even outright jokes, if they were still around.

I think they most absolutely would have been famous and still doing great work.
