Come on now, it's 2007. Can we all Come to Jesus about the fact that Nirvana sucked? Has Cobain been dead long enough so that we can respectfully cut the crap about his overrated, lame-ass, whiny little attempt at "alternative music" and move on? I think if we could CTJ about this, we could probably solve the crisis in the Middle East as well. Piece o' cake.
Admittedly, I'm using this as a litmus test for the MySpace community, and trying to goad die-hard Nirvana-sucks Deniers into commenting or responding in some way.
Bring it on!
Maybe they were the soundtrack to your grunge-soaked, halcyon college days during which you a) lost your virginity b) partied hard c) made the best friends ever or d) all of the above - but that still doesn't change the fact that they sucked.
Admit it, you were listening under the influence.
With enough beer, and no adult supervision, Nirvana rocked your world and so did that frat boy you lured back to your dorm room.
And the next morning, you should have puked and repented all three.
Just like I puked when I heard that Cobain and Grohl (or whoever, lay off me I don't know their damn names) listed one of my favorite bands, the Meat Puppets, as one of their prime influences.
Instant migraine, there. Seriously? HA! They WISH they had been influenced even a smidgen by the MP's - but alas, they could only aspire wistfully to the amazin' blazin' talent the Meat Puppets possess/possessed.
Still not convinced?
Listen to your old CD of "Nevermind", sober, and then listen to, oh, almost anything else, sober - but preferably someone who lampoons the likes of Nerve-blah-nah, like Todd Snider's "Talkin' Seattle Blues." Laugh your ass off at your old self, laugh at the grunge bands now long since deservedly dead, laugh at how seriously people took themselves during the greatest economic expansion in US history... just laugh, and reminesce. With Jesus.
Come, little children
