 Strangely, despite being a huge Nirvana fan (and a huge Smashing Pumpkins
 fan and a huge Grant Lee Buffalo, REM and Neil Young one for that matter)
 this strand of conversation has bored hell out of me. Guess I'm sick of
 everyone turning said deceased man into a cardboard
 cutout-cum-philosophical construct/archetype/ficitonal character. >>

Do I get to be the lucky one to respond, guys?

Camille, I'm perhaps not the best person to explain, but I'll try.

Heroin is a drug that became popular during the Consciousness Revolution in 
America during the 60's and 70's.  It is (if my understanding is correct) 
heated and injected into the blood via needle.  It's a hard drug to use and 
hard to quit.  

Bottom line:  It's a nasty drug, Camille.

And by the way, I am another pumpkin in the patch.  (Or, if you know alot 
about the Pumpkins, another "Starchild.")
