When someone makes such a mark o...(Happy Birthday)<br /><br />When someone makes such a mark on the world...it's hard to imagine life without them.<br />Even if you didn't know them personally.<br /><br />I was 5yrs old<br />I know that I knew who Nirvana was but their importance to the previous generation and Cobain's affect on people....I couldn't grasp being that young.<br />It wasn't until I was about 7 or 8,When a late night music show in Australia called Rage aired a Nirvana/Cobain tribute...did it hit me that Kurt was special.<br />At a time like this I feel bad for his Daughter Frances...She didn't get to know her Father.<br />The little bit of solace is that she has a whole group of people that can show her that her father meant alot to them...& to the world.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352179063117525571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-49581965030695435902011-04-08T15:09:46.624-04:002011-04-08T15:09:46.624-04:00I was too young to be a Nirvana fan back then, but...I was too young to be a Nirvana fan back then, but I'll always remember the big black & white poster of Kurt smoking a cigarette that my cousin used to have hanging on the wall of his bedroom.The Question Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-16860521213635915092011-04-08T14:47:30.711-04:002011-04-08T14:47:30.711-04:00I was in Dallas, Texas visiting friends. We'd ...I was in Dallas, Texas visiting friends. We'd been hanging out in Deep Ellum, the arts district downtown where the friend's gallery was located, and we had walked up the street to grab lunch and window shop. As I stood at the counter in an empty little cafe, placing an order for a sandwich, someone from an adjacent shop burst in the door behind me, said "Dude, did you hear? Kurt Cobain," then put a hand to his head, fingers extended like a gun, and mimicked the sound of a shot.<br /><br />In my mind, he just spit this crass, unceremonious proclamation and then ran right back out the door without further ado, but in truth, I have no idea exactly what happened next. It was like the world filled up with white noise, and I completely blanked out for a moment. It wasn't that the news was particularly shocking, really, considering his demeanor and personality, but just so, so devastating to think that he'd go through with it, that he'd just give up and give in, even in spite of all the adoration he'd received from us.
