I originally read that as "...Nirvana as a garbage band" and thought "NOW you're talking!"
Personally, I think Kurt did the music world a LOT of good.
When he fellated a shotgun.
And I'm no fan of that screechy spunkbucket he was shacking up with either. Neither of them have the talent to be able to successfully scrape dog poop off of their shoes, let alone make music.
Then there was all the Angsters that tried to compare him with Jim Morrison. I ended up in the middle of many a flame war with that one.
No, deary, the only thing that Jim Morrison had in common with Cobain was that they both managed to off themselves. The differences were more profound: Jim could sing. Jim could write. Jim had TALENT. Cobain had none of them and the world is a better place without him. And if Jim heard that the likes of you were comparing him with Cobain, he'd probably tell you the same thing he told the producers at the Ed Sullivan Show."
Heh. That one sent more than one starry eyed fangirl into fits of nonsensical, spittle-flecked, foot-stomping, fist-shaking, impotent rage.
And nobody ever questioned what he said to the producers, either.
Roger -Dot- Lee, but he was a POET! *BLAM!*
