19. Nirvana had some GREAT music...

.
...and seemed to epitomize the attitude and ethos of its time.
.
I do think the elevation of Kurt Cobain to rock-god status smelled
a little bit... not like teen spirit, but of desperation to HAVE a
rock-god to define and set apart their generation.
.
And, of course, suicide seems to raise the street cred of any
artist -- as in, "He killed himself -- how can you DOUBT that he
was relevant and a GENIUS and oh-so-deep?"
.
I think the rolling of my eyes did some permanent sub-orbital
damage the day I read that some were trying to equate him with
John Lennon.
