Things Kurt Cobain Never Got To Say

I know, it's been awhile. This is not one of those topical blogs. Kurt was gone too soon but not forgotten. My husband and I are those manic fans that will tell you his music changed our lives, and remember where we when he passed. I was at work, wearing my favorite gray and yellow plaid jacket with the brown suede collar, because 90's.

 I have said one of these before but it always felt like it was still too soon. One look at his greasy hair and tortured face, and the laugh just stifled and slowly faded out, like the dying cricket in my basement. 

 I am certain other people have made similar jokes, but whatever brought this back to my dome today, brought some friends with it. 

 A short, (you're welcome) very incomplete list of some things Kurt Cobain never got to say.

 "I don't care you guys, I'm not doing a deodorant commercial."

 "Dave, tell me again why are you hosting Chelsea Lately?"

 "Wow, Michael Jackson. Didn't see that one coming."


"Justin who?"

 "Courtney, you look really pretty in that dress."

There are so many more, but I really need to listen to Nevermind and sit and sip Pennyroyal Tea.

    Could you imagine how sad it would be if he was still around but just really burned out and struggling for material?

      I really canNOT imagine. The fact that he wrote that song and didn't even REALIZE it was actually a deodorant is everything about him I loved. I don't think anyone can maintain that level of notcaretiveness. It would have been devastating to me to see that happen, ala The Greatful Dead's hair dye deal "A Touch of Grey," I am not making that up.

    I'm of that older generation for whom John Lennon's death was a life-changing shock to the system, not Kurt Cobain's. But both left professional rock star widows.

      Yes, so you know. I tried to explain to my sister, a huge Beatles fan. I told her Nevermind is our white album. Then she kind of got it.

    It seems like a lot of the best musicians and most popular stars die young. It is almost like they die young in order to make their biographies more interesting and tragic!

      So true, from Elvis to Michael Jackson....it's a tough lifestyle.

    So sad that he was so tortured to end his life that way. Too many great entertainers die young. Who knows what more they could have done.

    I'm listening to my Smells Like the 90s mix on Spotify. This was quite the fitting post for my morning/afternoon.
