Honestly, I think even Kurt Cobain would've agreed with me on this.

yes people would still consider him to be one of the greatest songwriters of the 90s had he not blown his head off. regardless of the fact that their fame came about due to being in the right place at the right time, the man still wrote a huge pile of great tunes.
and am i the only one who considers it incredibly hypocritical to make an asinine comment by rewording Cobain's last name while sporting a foo fighters graphic?
