I like your article. If you have Sirius or XM satellite radio, you must know that they have temporarily converted the alt-rock channel LIthium into Nevermind Radio to celebrate this 20th anniversary of Nevermind's release. I spent my whole day at work today listening to Nirvana demos, live recordings, deep tracks and classics. Tonight at I think 8 pm eastern they have a live broadcast of an interview/fan Q&A session with Grohl and Novoselic. The host is John Stewart. I'll be listening.

Kurt Cobain had a remarkable voice and sensibility. I was a little bit old to be a fan at the time, and a lot too old to still be a fan; but I love how Nevermind kicked the ass of hair bands and the odious late 80's pop sound. I have told my husband that if I predecease him, I want "All Apologies" at my funeral.

OMG, excellent blog post. And Nirvana defined my teens even though I was not a teenager when Nevermind was released...I remember weeping bitterly when Kurt Cobain died.

I'm so glad you like my post. I'm still reeling "Nevermind" is now 20 years old. It seems only yesterday I discovered Nirvana, and thought, "Yea, this is exactly what I want to be listening too."

Sadly, I missed the XM/Sirius Nirvana stuff. I don't have XM/Sirius. Sad.

And you might enjoy this review I did of the book "Cobain Unseen" by Charles R. Cross.

That was really wonderful and it makes me want to get the book. I am very affected by artists dying young in general. When it's an artist whose work I really admire, I tend not to get over it. That's how I feel about Kurt Cobain. I appreciate what we had of him, but I feel really sad and cheated that we didn't get more. Yet it's hard to blame a person who's in so much pain for doing what it took to get over that pain.

Sirius and XM are still playing Nevermind Radio. As I took my son to school just now we heard Lounge Act, Lake of Fire and a Cobain home recording of About a Girl. Great stuff.
