Kurt Cobain Died 18 Years Ago Today


I can't tell you where I was or what I was doing when I heard Kurt Cobain had died -- after all I was only 11-- but I can tell you that his death continues to resonate to this day. You don't have to be a music scholar (or snobby music blogger) to understand that Nirvana was bigger than Jesus back in 1994. Their influence can be heard from contemporaries R.E.M. and Weezer to modern indie punks Wavves and Vivan Girls. With all that said, it only seems fitting that one should make a pilgrimage to Viretta Park and write a message on the memorial benches. Have a good sit and hum "bloom" with a few strangers while you reflect on the man, the myth, the legend. RIP Kurt.
