It is that "I am a tortured artist" syndrome (Kurt Cobain)...........I am not
saying I felt sorry for him. Haven't you ever encountered an artist, who has
a gift, but doesn't want to go "mainstream".....or an even better
characterization would be "selling out". That is how I would describe Kurt
Cobain. The popularity of the grung movement was unexpected. If he wanted to
be a sell out superstar.......I could have joined a HAIR band and borrowed
his mom's lipstick.
