Warning: Post Contains Angry Metalhead Content

[uberreiniger]

Kurt Cobain died ten years ago. All the newspapers will not shut up about how Kurt Cobain died ten years ago. I don't fucking care. I hated his music then, I hate it now, it's his fault I've had to endure a decade of "alternative" garbage every time I've turned on a radio. People also like to prattle on about how "spandex hair metal" ruled the airwaves before Nirvana came along. And yeah, it did, and yeah, it mostly sucked. Unfortunately, GOOD metal was just starting to get HUGE then too: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Queensryche, Suicidal Tendencies. And they got kicked out to the curb just as surely as everything else.

Granted, a lot of it wasn't Kurt's fault. I know he didn't set out to destroy anybody's music scene. He was a genuine, (if grossly overrated,) artist who got built up by record companies into something he really didn't wanna be. But still, when somebody brings you bad news you kill the messenger. As far as talent goes, he was no Jimi, no Janis, no Jim Morrison, or even John Lennon. I find myself now where I was ten years ago: wishing he and his music would just go away.

Oh, and by the way, Courtney killed him. She's guilty and she deserves to rot in a hole so much she even named her band after one. The end.

Wasn't a bad day, though, really. It was Adam's birthday so we watched Kenneth Branaugh's film of "Love's Labor Lost" as well as "Pirates of the Caribbean," which now has me wanting to write more fiction in thesaltyhooker. Nobody seems to read it when I do, though, so I probably won't bother.

The fingers in my left hand have been aching strangely since Sunday, like I strained them but I can't remember having done so. I did practice the guitar for two hours that day, (which is about an hour and forty-five minutes longer than I usually practice) but that's all I can think of. I've hardly done any typing this past month, so I can't imagine I'm getting carpel tunnel, (at least I hope not.) Arthritis, maybe? Man, if I'm already falling apart at age 27 that doesn't bode well for the future. I probably just strained my hand practicing.* Will just have to monitor and see.

*Yes, I know you're all just dying to make masturbation jokes. Go ahead!

Hear hear!! I'm totally with you on the Kurt thing.

"Oh, and by the way, Courtney killed him. She's guilty and she deserves to rot in a hole so much she even named her band after one."

Oh my! haha! That is AWESOME. You're so right. I call her "Courtney Hole" after the Beavis and Butthead episode where they made fun of "Violet"

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

That's awesome! I've been calling her Courtney Hole even before I saw that episode! *high five*

Seriously, I think she did it. I think all her recent public freak-outs are partly due to guilt beginning to get the best of her heroin-addled mind. Drugged-out bitch.

I had a hell of a lot of fun reading your fiction! It was great!

I just haven't posted mine yet because I haven't gotten a chance to polish it off. And I'm a perfectionist from being paid to edit other people's stories (paid beta reading).

Aw, thanks! If that's the case then Bloody Wake Jack shall sail again!

My biggest beef with Nirvana is they were horribly under-talented for their hype. Also, they didn't "invent" grunge, or "create" the Seattle sound, they were in fact INFLUENCED by other Seattle bands, yet they were given all the credit for it.

This bugs me on a fundamental level every time I hear some asshole weep about how it's such a loss that Cobain is dead. The guy was overhyped and undertalented. And Courtney killed him.

Oh well, just my rant.

I read your stories!! they are so very fun, and to be loooked forward to. I was a little miffed when you shot somebody else out of my canon last time, but bygones :)

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Hey, there's more than one cannon ;)

I have a friend his name is 7. yup. Spelled just like the number seven. anywho. he used to work for courtney and kurt in seattle when he still lived there :) He still has a lot of kurt's old guitars and I think he has his journal or something like that. he was telling me that NO it was suicide and that kurt haunted the house he killed himself in. wierd huh!

1994 was a very strange year for me. My parents divorced, my grandmother was diagnosed with Lukemia and died, I went to IYC, and I started HS. I think it was one of the worst years of my fucking life. I can't believe that my grandmother has been gone for 10 years.

As for Mr Cobain... my most vivid memory is my friend Aaron- who looked EXACTLY LIKE HIM- kept throwing himself off of things going, "Who am i? :D;;"

I like nirvana, and I respect Kurt, but I don't think he should be looked upon like some sort of grunge god. Not even he would be ok with that.

I used to like Courtney Love, but she's a nasty freak now! ( well, ok she always has been, but even more so now.)

Hey speaking of pirates!!!!

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

You made it?

[kali-81.livejournal.com]

Don't you read miscreation.org?

[uberreiniger.livejournal.com]

Apparenlty not often enough. Congratulations! I suppose now you'll be insufferable and wanting only to talk about rehearsals all the time ;)

[kali-81.livejournal.com]

You mean I'm not insufferable already? That's so sweet.
