Sorry if I said something that sounds like 'romantic bullshit' there... I just used words that seemed to appropriately describe who Kurt Cobain was. Here was a man who totally changed the face of the music industry almost singlehandedly, almost overnight; with nothing more than an electric guitar and his throat... I know what most people do with those two things; and I doubt it's anything romantic...

However; after doing that; he completely turned around and killed himself; saying that he was an emasculated, infantile complainee... Here was a man who REALLY believed in suffering for one's ART. However pretentious that may or may not be; or whatever the truth of ART is... And I believe; and that belief is somewhat validated by Last Days; that Kurt Cobain died because of that belief in ART. If anything; I think he was the cliche of the tortured artist...

I am not condoning his actions or his behavior... Drugs, take a toll, no matter who you are, and there's always a price to pay... And his actions during Love's pregnancy deserve reproach - I believe if he was still alive, and he was half the man I thought he was; he would have apologized for his actions; or at least felt deep remorse for it... However; the rock and roll dream teen machine rumbles on...
