Kurt seemed to be a wounded } soul with extreme amounts of emotion energy showing through in his music. } Even though he was a huge part of Nirvana's success, it seemed like he felt } his life had no purpose and/or direction... According to the report on } Entertainment Tonight, he wanted his next album to be entitled something } like "I hate myself, I want to die"... The most interesting thing I saw in the news reports yesterday was a kid on the street who said something like, "Looks like he'll become this generation's Jim Morrison" and yet, he was wearing a Joy Division T-Shirt. Jim didn't die of a suicide, he died from choking on his own vomit after imbibing a few more chemicals than he was prepared for. And then the most poignant statement, in my mind, was when Live 105 out here, after the Westwood 1 "remembrance" special, played "Life's What You Make It" by Talk Talk. } His bipolar manic-depressive state did not cloud the messages he gave in his } music...rather I think it gave an enlightening perspective on life for all } who paid attention. } } "All alone is all we are." We don't know what we have till it's gone, but } atleast he left behind some nice sounds and some songs to think about...and } this makes him immortal. Reportedly his suicide note began with the words "All apologies". Brian
