Yeah, I did a sound gig for one of his shows in Oregon @ 6 years ago. Very down to earth normal guy.

Yeah, that's what I thought too, 'cause I've also read A LOT of political stuff he's written (my roommate is obsessed with Nirvana has has loads of biographies and books on the band and members.)

Just Wiki'd him and apparently he's been involved in musical acts such as Sweet 75, performed uncredited vocals on a few of the FF's tracks such as Walking a Line, did stuff with the guitarist from Soundgarden, another band called Eyes Adrift, and more recently a band called Flipper. Interesting. I haven't heard of any of those, though.

Hmm. I hadn't heard that before. Interesting. I guess that's basically exactly what I would imagine him doing at this point even if Kurt hadn't killed himself.

No reason really, just one of those feelings that will of course never be proved right or wrong.

Exactly.

Queen for example are overexposed, but people talk so much sh*t about them, I'd actually call them underrated, even if We Will Rock You winds up on every radio station and football game.

i'd say the number of Queen fans vastly outnumber the people who talk shit about them...same with Nirvana.
