hell yes it is important to remember people's day of passing.

Nirvana is cool and all but I don't see why people care for Cobain so much and I doubt he himself would want to so much attention after death.

Pablo Picasso died on April 8th of 1973 but lol who gives a fuck.

[Rob Instigator]

I do. pablo is god.

cobain is a cumstain on god's undies.

I left town headed to College Station to stay the weekend with my friend and his new wife (they had just married in December). My friends wife had asked me to stop by her mom's place and bring a chest of drawers in the back of my truck. When I left here, I was tuned to KRBE's Friday 80's Lunch Flashback show: Cure, Depeche Mode, MCL, Vicious Pink, Smiths, Pet Shop Boys, ect. When the show ended and KRBE returned to playing Bobby Brown crap, I started listening to this mix tape I had made. One side was: Borbetomagus, Art Bears, Ultra Vivid Scene, John Zorn, ect. Side two was nothing but Legendary Pink Dots. Anyway, I was trucking right along when this cop pulls me over in Montgomery for speeding. Before the officer walks up to the window, I eject the tape and then turn my truck off. Due to my line of work, I was extended some professional courtesy and let go with a verbal warning. As I pull back on to the highway, I turn the radio on and KRBE is playing a Nirvana track. This caught me by surprise because they usually played crap during the day. That Nirvana track was followed by another and playing back to back tracks by the same artist is something this station doesn't do. After the third or fourth track, the DJ came on informing the listeners about Kurt passing away.

Wow you've got a good memory, I turned 14 a few days before and I was genuinely sad when I heard from a friend that he had passed away. I had just moved from Australia to Croatia a few months before and Croatia was still in a rocky state, everything seemed to be changing for me and losing Kurt was saddening as he was one of my favourite musicians. It was weird though how immediately after his death all these people who didn't listen to Nirvana suddenly started listening to them for a while, then after a few months this died down and everyone went back to normal, including me who still thinks Nirvana was a great band, I don't care about how popular they became or the hype, that stuff is crap anyway and I try not to take notice of it in general.

my friend just completed this video for Pennyroyal Tea: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WW6R0qj65u4

the footage comes from a documentary called 'the miracle of life.'
uploaded just in time for Kurt Cobain Day, it seems.

Well... Kurt Cobain's death was a major event for people of our generation(s), Picasso's death wasn't... a great deal of us probably weren't even born at that time.

Listening to Nirvana tapes at my cousin's was probably my first introduction to 'punk rock,' or any non-pop radio type music... and introduced me to the idea that musicians can just be normal ordinary people from a small town like mine who picked up a guitar and started making their own songs with their friends.

Okay.

[LifeDistortion]

aren't you supposed to mourn people on the day they died? not the day the repair man found them dead.

[Rob Instigator]

he died inside a long time before that, whenthe muscle frat head fucks that used to kick his ass every day at school started to be the ain audience at all his shows.

[screamingskull]

imagine how upset and outraged he'd be now if he came back and saw what had become of Courtney and the music he left behind.

Everyone remembers the 8th because that is when everyone remembers hearing about it.

[screamingskull]

well i was like 5 or 6 when i happened, so i remember the proper date. The date when he actually died.

[pbradley]

I was nine. I remember a lot of fuss in the news and I didn't care. I knew he was the lead singer of Nirvana and all and a huge deal but I was too young for all the angsty grunge shit to sink in. Anyways all the idol worship annoyed me since.
