Kurt Cobain, a heroin junky and an overall shitty person from various accounts, killed himself. I feel no sympathy for someone who kills themself -- ESPECIALLY if you bring a daughter into this world. Don't fucking have children unless you're planning on taking care of them. Anyway, it was Kurt's life, he did what he wanted -- he wanted to die. So, why not celebrate? I don't understand "mourning" his loss at all... he took his own life, deliberately, seems like something to be happy about, since he got what he wanted, right?
Jack Rose... his death is actually quite tragic. He just bought a house, he just got signed to Drag City, he had been working hard, driving by himself from show to show for years for little or no money, there is no comparison between him and spoiled rock star millionaire "oh-woe-is-me" Kurt.
And I love a lot of Nirvana songs, so I'm not anti-Cobain or anti-Nirvana, and I do think it's okay to make fun of dead people, but I just felt this was a little soon,and a little disrespectful since it is so soon... Also, I'm pretty sure Jack Rose never had a single song with acoustic guitar wankery. His playing was extremely skilled, and his songs were extremely composed.
...Rob just made a really stupid comment. I'm not going to say I never have made any myself, because I do regret a few things I said on here... but I don't think it's hypocritical or anything for me to say that I feel more sad over Jack Rose's death than Kurt Cobain's.
