Happy 44th Birthday to Curt Kobain.

Well, it was actually yesterday, but I was too busy to post. It's hard to believe that he's gone for almost 17 years as April 5th is the infamous date.

...hearing the following song on the radio...aimlessly driving, thinking to myself that it had a rare combination of rock-driven guitars that I like and the plaintive vocals of the "indie" breed...it wasn't until I saw the video and very derivative "Cobainisms" that I really put a lot of thought into just how much Curt's legacy still plays a role with today's disaffected youth.

The man left a lasting mark on the music industry in many forms and many ways and, like Jimi and Janis and a host of others, left us far too early...
