Hi
A lot of people seem upset that I wrote about
Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Excuse me, but you've been comparing Salinger
and Kafka and many others. Why not Cobain?
It seems to be he has a LOT in common with Holden Caulfield! Or isn't
it good enough to compare with someone who's actually not a famous
writer like Hemingway or Kafka? Don't mean to offend no one but it
seems to me that there might be some literary snobs out there!
And Cobain was a VERY gifted songwriter and lyricist. If you'd bother
to learn about him and read some of his lyrics instead of
concentrating only on *important* literature, maybe you'd find out!
And to the guy who said that something about a lot of cobain's stuff
being because of heroin, I say this: Heroin doesn't make people
talented!
I could use heroin for 50 years and still wouldn't be able to write
songs like Kurt.
