    When Cobain died, I didn't get it, but I wasn't listening to it, or grunge, for that matter. I slowly began to listen to it...the music was good, but the lyrics intrigued me. When Cornell kicked, a buddy of mine (a Marine) who loved SG, called him a pussy for tapping out. It clicked then, for me. These guys had pretty fucked up upbringings early on, for whatever reason, started writing about it.

    Cornell, Eddie, Layne, et.al are/were socially inept, insecure, self-conscious, and deeply flawed people. Man In a Box or Rusty Cage or Alive didn't come from a creative writing class at the U. Cobain wrote In Bloom about all the bros raging at their shows that didn't get what it was about. Eddie pushed back on releasing Black as a single, and couldn't get thru it on stage early in their career...Dark shit for them...The pain created the art...my 2 cents...

    I can't figure out why these pussies were so fucking depressed. Wasn't Seattle way cooler in the late 80's and early 90's? And we? were winning Rose Bowls.

    I mean fuck @creepycoug had to be a lil swarthy kid getting beat up by those logging camp liberals and you don't see him taking the easy way out.

    I couldn’t figure it out for a long time, but I was one of “the cool kids”...

    Have you even been to Aberdeen? A couple trips through town and I'm getting thoughts of jumping off a bridge. creep was a rough and tumble yute - not a creative artist type. Those dudes get beat up in a town like Aberdeen or Shelton.
    Yup.

    All jokes aside, the flea is correct. There were no bullies in Aberdeen. The word didn’t exist. You either took shit or you didn’t. Lots of people around to help you find out which one you were going to be.

    Aberdeen is where I learned the lesson that you fight even if you’re going to get your ass kicked. You just make sure the fucker pays for the trouble and walks away with some pain for the next few days. This all gets sorted out early in junior high school.

    The ‘Deen was full of rough characters in my day.
    In creep's day, the tough yutes were rocking Back In Black and having keggers out on Reynvaans bar on the Hump. This album deserves its place in the finals.
