Today is "Kurdt Cobain is Still Dead" day.
But I have come to praise Kurdt, not to bury him.

some reasons why I made Kurdt Cobain
an object of celebrity admiration
(until he killed himself and I gave up celebrities)

*
kurdt hung out with riot grrrls

kathleen hanna, lead singer of now-defunct Bikini Kill, was with Kurdt at a party and afterwards spray painted 'Kurt Cobain smells like teen spirit' on the wall and kurdt didn't know that Teen Spirit was a brand of girl's deodorant and thought kathleen was referring to teen energy

*
nirvana begot grunge;
grunge killed 'heavy metal' ;
thus, thanks to nirvana,
we are safe from the guitar solo
(ah, but for how long?)

*

kurdt and his bandmates wore
the same clothes they did when they were broke after they made gobs of coin.
unless they wore dresses

*
kurdt was aggressively non-homophobic
and used to spray paint 'god is gay' in his days of youth. in his days of fame, he would kiss his bandmates on tv to bug homophobes

*

kurdt wasn't afraid to marry courtney love
(brave brave soul)

*
nirvana made music that I love so much
makes me wanna go fuck shit up

(my my, who's a pottymouth)
