Kurt Cobain’s birthday and the Omni Center Forum | Daily Do’s for Saturday, February 20, 2010
Banner, Daily Crier, News — By Christopher Spencer on February 20, 2010 at 2:20 pm
“One baby to another says I’m lucky to have met you. I don’t care what you think as long unless it is about me. It is now my duty to completely drain you,” Drain You by Nirvana.
Some of my favorite lyrics. I have my interpretation. If you know the song, you probably have your own.
Happy birthday, Kurt Cobain. You’d be 43-years old if you hadn’t blown your head off in 1994. Still makes me a little angry. Such a waste. Another dead end to a generation whose native language is irony.
These things tend to stick with you when you’re 18, as I was at the time.
Speaking of things wasted, I apologize for not completing the Daily Do’s in time today to list the very cool Green Your Life series at the Fayetteville Public Library this morning. Luckily, you have another chance to check out this great series on March 20 and April 17.
In the meantime, you can still check out these events today:
- The OMNI Center Peace Leadership Forum starts at 6 p.m. today at the center, 3274 N. Lee Ave. These forums are meant to help develop a core group preparing itself to take leadership in the culture of peace.
- Ladysmith Black Mambazo, “South Africa’s long-running musical treasure” (New York Times), comes to Walton Arts Center at 8pm tonight. The group will perform songs from their 2009 Grammy Award-winning album “Ilembe,” in addition to selections from their wide catalog. Tickets range from $28.50 to $45.50 and can be purchased online or by calling the Walton Arts Center Box Office at 479.443.5600.

Loved Nirvana, really loved “Drain You” and still really sad that he made that terrible choice. For all the reasons he shouldn’t have done it, each of which he clearly refuted, leaving that trainwreck Courtney Love as the surviving parent of his daughter was hardest to comprehend.
And selfishly… like the untimely deaths of Buddy Holly, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and others, imagine all the great music we might have had…
Yeah, hard to believe it’s been 15 years since he killed himself.
I take it you’ve seen Kurt and Courtney? I don’t think I buy into the “She Killed Him” theory, but that doesn’t make her any less of a trainwreck for raising Francis Bean.
Did you ever read Charles Cross’s Heavier Than Heaven? That was a really excellent biography that stripped away a lot of the myth and painted a picture of a middle-class kid from a small logging town with divorced parents who was intensely creative and always felt like an outsider.
oh come on. you guys ignore everything ever published that points to the cold hard fact that kurt did NOT kill himself. STOP and look around the web. Tom Grant and others have already shown that it is highly unlikely if not impossible, that kurt could have pulled a trigger with his toes, with his shoes on, after already dead from an overdose. ETC. Dead people don’t bleed and that is why there was very very little blood. etc! This stuff has been out there for a while. It’s irresponsible to chant out the same contrived false dead mantra that kurt cobain committed suicide. Because the evidence says he didn’t, and it also says there were strange overlooked facts and inappropriate mishandling of the case by nearly all concerned. Just look it all up, please, before you go accusing someone when there is no real proof that he killed himself, and so much evidence to the contrary. When it does so much harm to some who erroneously believe he did. It makes you all look like the shallow “believe the major media” fools that you must be.
Gone but never forgotten! Beautiful Pisces man!
I have no desire to interject myself into The “he was murdered/he committed suicide” controversy even though I started this thread.
Truthfully, I have no idea and generally accept the dominant story that he killed himself, but I’m willing to scale back and just say it still makes me a little angry that he is dead – whether it was self-inflicted or caused by someone else.
Well while we are at it… Oswald was set up!
Bruce, That’s so irresponsible of you, you shill for the main stream media.
You know perfectly well Oswald was not set up … He was part of the setup … and his shooting by Jack Ruby was also staged … and an empty coffin was buried … and … and … and … so there.
