What?!  The guy's not allowed to defend himself?  And like Rich said,
nothing Pete said was off the mark.  Truth hurts sometimes.

Well, Mr. Cobain started it.  Too bad.  Besides, I thought Pete ex-
pressed some admiration for Cobain in the piece, too.  It wasn't com-
pletely negative.  But, by the same token, it wasn't completely pos-
itive & gushing, either, the way much of the commentary on Cobain is.

People have been trying to bridge generational gaps for years.  It
rarely works on a large scale.  The majority of the masses don't have 
open minds.  And that's where it starts.

Hey!  The kids *are* alright!  They just gotta watch what they say 
about Pete, that's all!  The guy's just too thoughtful, intelligent, 
& experienced to have to take any shit.  I'm happy he's still defending
himself.
