St. Kurt

Of course today is the 20 year-anniversary of Kurt Cobain's suicide. I was never a big fan, and I roll my eyes at Nirvana fans feeling the need to anoint Cobain as both a saint and the reason for instantly ridding the world of hair metal. I don't want to piss on one man's grave, and my aggravation re: Nirvana getting all the credit I felt belonged to other bands has softened over the years, but I stand by this: his greatest crime? Giving the world the fucking Foo Fighters. Ugh.

Hey, I am a complex man. For instance, I love egg foo young, but loathe the Foo Fighters. Who am I, such a riddle?
