Nirvana
I've been listening to a lot of Nirvana lately. Even though most of Kurt's lyrics seem to make no sense, I have been relating to a lot of them. This would seem to suggest that I don't make a lot of sense. And I don't, but that's okay. Makes me interesting.
My counselor at the 'hab (or as the other guys referred to it, "Addiction Camp") told me that Kurt Cobain went to the same facility I did. She also told me that Chris Farley went there. I'm not really sure those little tidbits she dropped on me were supposed to help with my recovery but thanks for the positive reinforcement!
Anyway, I still love them. And miss them. I was fortunate to see them on their last tour. They came to AU while I was attending. Awesome show. He didn't even have to sing the lyrics to "Lithium"; everyone was doing that for him. Kinda cool to see a whole audience participating like that. Towards the end of the show Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic started making out. Good for them. Made my little gay heart weep. Kurt started playing the shit out of his guitar and wouldn't leave the stage. Krist came out from backstage, picked Kurt up, threw him over his shoulder and took him offstage. Oh yeah, The Breeders opened the show. Love them too.
Here are my favorite mainstream CDs of all time:
1. Nevermind - Nirvana
2. The Bends - Radiohead
3. Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses
4. Maxinquaye - Tricky
5. American Idiot - Green Day
If you're not into charts then perhaps you would like to know my stupid score from one of those silly online quizzes. Hey, at least I almost got a passing grade. Please take part if you think you are smarter:

I was at that Nirvana show. My ride made me leave early so we could avoid the rush at the end. I still haven't forgiven him for that one. hrmph.

I am kinda' smart. Many have done better, but you did much better than half the other test-takers!
I feel kindof stupid b/c work is stressing me out. Why can't I just not care :-)

I'm not sharing my stupid score. Let's just say it wasn't pretty...
