Robert said,As a now 50 year old man, 14 years ago I didn't understand Nirvana and then my son Mark show me MTV's Unplugged Show with Kurt singing his bwautiful songs and I understood why he had so many funs.
This poem addressed to Kurt.
Is this the wind escaping from the word?
So quickly go the steps, a whisper drops.
Your sigh is an obscure weight, which
A shivering lily fails to hold.
Light holds it ,the day scatters.
Poetry holds it ,the euphemism explodes.
Sleep holds it ,and death becomes Prometheus to steal the fire.
A generation holds it,
The difficult delivery brings illusionary pain to the bystanders.
A seventeen-year-old holds it,
His soul vibrates itself back with the arc of waves.
I hold it ,oh,oh,it is off-key.
I cannot hold it after.
Can I just return it back to the
Next wind?

Nice.:)
It is good to see that Kurt not just touched the hearts of generation x, but touched generation y and the baby boomers too. He wasn't a "spokeperson for generation x" (a title which he would dislike greatly), but he was the spokesperson for the misunderstood. That can apply to people of all ages and all walks of life. We can all identify with Kurt at one point or the other. We don't love him for being perfect. We love him because he didn't let fame change his values. We miss you kurt. R.I.P.

Kurt was a great musician and a great human being.With his painful vocals he inspired every generation.I thinks this is the best lines I ever read on Cobain apart from lyrics of the song 'Sleeping with Angels ' by Neil Young.God bless his soul.
Rip Kurt Cobain (1967 - 1994)
