No they can't!  I won't let them!

Ahhhh, we're getting somewhere here.  Is it the "experts" we're afraid of?
Who are these "experts".
Rolling Stone?   Not in my book.
Spin?  Hell FUCKING NO!
Us listers?  Getting close.  But, we're not the worry.  We'll buy what every
they put out.  We're that smart to know that what *is* put out will be good.

The "experts" are society as a whole.
How can you not be concerned with how society will perceive or accept or
react to your music, when it's for society that you are doing this for in
the first place?

I love that too.
But, Cobain killed himself for many more reasons than just music.
His illness was driving him mad.
This can *not* be taken lightly.

Whether you like it or not, Cobain was the main "speaker" for his
generation.
I loved his work.  It was a breath of honesty and fresh air.
I'm anything but closed-minded toward The Who.

Just because thoughts don't fit an agenda, or come from a person who is in a
bad way, doesn't mean they should be dismissed.  In fact, in this case,
quite the contrary.

Seem to have a lack of understanding for others feelings here.
I will never second guess the feelings of a man/person who is driven to do
what Cobain did.
There are reasons for it.  The reasons are real. Anyone who is so arrogant
to cast judgement on those reasons should be questioned.

>I don't find much to admire about Cobain.  He was
>a talented guy, but a sorry excuse for a man in my book.

That's pretty fucking harsh.
Have you experienced what he experienced?
Have you walked even 1 minute in his shoes?
Quite simply, you just don't know.
Show some respect.
Show some sympathy.
Have a heart.
