I realize that Kurt Cobain was the musical spearhead of his generation, that he shaped pop (by the teeth, woman...take that back!) grunge culture, that his influence on youth and adults alike drove slackers to take it easy and reflect (is everyone gay?) before it (popped!) and rained rampant productivism on the music of today.

His genius was the construct on which others shaped a new style of play. Yes, without him the Foo Fighters would not exist.

But, and this is a big but, they wouldn't exist with him either. It is like what the dude in Filter said - "Hey, nice shot, man!"

Am I going to hell for saying that? I fear the Corbainians of the world might unite to hunt me down and skull fuck me. It'd be worth it.

I LOVE YOU, FOOS!
