lion, ivoted, me, sadie
How old are you? Here's how old: If Kurt Cobain hadn't killed himself, he would be 40 today.

Forty years old. And if that makes you feel old, well. . .you are. Hope they have Siamese Dream in the nursing home for everybody.

Siamese Dream! That reminds me that Bullet with Butterfly Wings is the "rat in a cage song", for the record.

Also, I was thinking the other day that I really want a Hole/Smashing Pumpkins supergroup. Can we get that? It'll make me feel young again.

Somehow a supergroup would make me feel even older. Because I associate supergroups with the 70s, I guess, and the Yardbirds and the Traveling Wilburys and the current iteration of Van Halen and things like that.

Celebrity Skin is already pretty close to being a Hole/SP supergroup, what with Billy writing all the lyrics and the whole Auf der Maur thing.

In fact, this inspires me to make another post.

How about this? Tomorrow I'll be 30.

I was just thinking it was that time of year for you! So now you're not going to be surprised when I remember. Also: Shhh with the 30.

Oh Kurt. *sniffle* I wonder if Courtney would be the slurring embodiment of bad plastic surgery that she has become if he hadn't died.

I am, however, one of those people who remember EXACTLY where I was and what I was doing when I found out that he was dead.

. . .probably. Right? And that would have been ever sadder. Plus, we would have gotten Live Through This II, unless she'd left him for Billy anyway. Not that it is worth it, but. . .those are silver linings you can point to.

Shit, he's the same age as me.

You know, I didn't realise that when he died, we were the same age... In fact, I had no idea how old he was when he died.

Wow... In June, I will be the same age as Kurt Cobain (and I LOVED his music).
