Whiney little beyotch.

While I don't feel quite as strongly about it as you do, I have to agree he seemed so insulated and wrapped up in himself that he never quite got the idea that everyone feels that way at some point in their lives. He may have felt it more acutely, and for longer periods of time, but he's not any different than anyone else in the things he went through and his struggles with them. Everyone thought they were adopted at some point everyone has an imagination, everyone wonders what things would be like if they were gone, everyone feels the severe highs and lows of emotions when dealing with first time experiences, everyone daydreams, and everyone wants to believe that others are below them in every way*. It's how we deal with these things that determine whether we make it through life or not, and because of his mental illness that went untreated? (I don't remember, I changed the channel halfway through) it seems he was doomed from age 9 or whenever it was he started feeling it.

Really, there was nothing remarkable about his childhood at all from what I saw, even though I'll be the first to admit his music was brilliant and changed the world.


*generally speaking, of course



I know, I'm a girl. I'm a little girl. I'm a little girl with pigtails riding a tricycle.

I agree with you to a great extent after listening to this documentary Always Local, although I didn't feel that way as a kid when I was obsessed w/ him and his music and the band and my own teenage angst and suffering and pain. ~You get it? I'm 28 now and he was just 27 when he died, that's hard to believe - because he seemed so much older when I was a kid and loving him. But I can agree w/ you to an extent now b/c I'm 28 and stuck out that teenage pain and everything and am able to do things w/ my life now and get through hardships. He was just 27 and kind of just gave up in my opinion. Not that I'll ever speak ill of him b/c like I said, I was a huge fan (and from the pacific northwest too - which is in fact a sh*thole, and the people are small-minded and I can see how he hated them and his surroundings) but I moved out of there, went through many struggles too and life-long depression and I am just now starting to have a contented life, if he could just have stuck it out some more, gotten over his past and tried to work on the future - and gotten rid of his lousy wife and their d*mn drug problems, he could have been a successful adult and father I think.

but, he was just 27, so I can see why he was so hung up on himself and his pain and how the past was still haunting him.

Down the rabbit-hole I GO…
what I’ll find no one knows

"Also, I hate the fact that he takes such great offense to people wanting to know everything about him because of his celebrity. Guess what, you whiney little p*ssy, every celebrity has to deal with that sh*t. It's called the price of fame."

Just because every celebrity has to deal with it means he's not allowed to find it an intrusive inconvenience? How about I bombard your computer, your house, your life with spam? Come on, my uncle can't get enough spam junk. He deals with it, you must do too. Nothing like everyone being completely uniform, is there?

"He wasn't complaining about being a millionaire, now was he?"

He spoke about his wealth and said it only brought him happiness briefly, that it was materialistic and he was just as happy before his wealth (happy, not a 'whiney little beyotch (p.s. learn to spell, you won't sound like quite as much of a tool as you already do.)

Still, glad you did your research. Or, not.

"Writing about what pisses you off, makes you cry, or whatever other emotion you need to get off of your chest can be very therapeutic, ask Eddie Vedder. Maybe that's why he and Pearl Jam continue on, and Kurt is dead as grunge."

So grunge is dead but epitome of grunge, Pearl Jam, live on? Contradiction much?

"I also find it very ironic that he proclaims that rock is dead, when in fact, it's his style of music that is dead because it was a pseudo-fad. The grunge era came, and went, and almost every rock purist will tell that they're damn glad it did."

Yeah, he was speaking in 1992-1993. Just for your edification, he was not omnipresent enough to conduct this interview post-death, as most of us aren't. And to talk about rock *beep* hell, do your life a favour and get the pretension stick out of your arse.

"I hate Kurt Cobain even more that I did already. The self-loathing, I'm such a tortured soul act just doesn't play with me."

Like most artists, he wanted mass acceptance (see popular), but when it happened he ended up hating it. That is called "being conflicted" and part of the human condition. Be careful what you wish for etc.

"He had all of this anger towards basically everything in the world, and chose not to address much of it in his music."

That was not Kurt Cobain's writing style, he was an abstract or third person writer. Another great rock song writer who (other than maybe his first album) NEVER wrote 1st person songs about his life or emotions was David Bowie.

I do agree that too much "woe is me" can get a bit tiring, but that is part of who Kurt was, he WAS a deeply troubled soul, it was the engine driving the talent. The best creativity seems to come from less than stable human beings, and I would rather take brutal honesty (even if I disagree) than the bland everything is OK, or life is a party crap that passes for artistry today.

I didn't hear him whine about anything. He was just upfront and honest.

Look at that turtle go bro!

yes that's why we hate you too, average idiots.

OP is just another clueless idiot who had no idea how mental illness works.
