I was going to launch in to a spirited rant about the joys of warm sunny spring days, but it appears to be *this close* to raining cats and dogs, so I'll skip that. Cheery sunny music - be it Beach Boys, early Van Halen, etc, etc. - never really works if its overcast.
Nearly ten years since Mr Cobain finished his whinging. Oddly it feels like only yesterday and an age ago all at the same time. I can rememer coming home from the pub and hearing that someone had been found shot nr the Cobain household.
My first thought at the time was 'Blimey, the poor sod's only just come out of hospital and now some silly buggers have shot each other outside his house.'
To be perfectly honest, whilst I love Nirvana's music, he never seemed a particularly nice bloke and it was hardly a surprise by that point - "I hate myself and I want to die"; the clues in the title... The endless turning over it all by the media justs seems a bit unecessary.
When I heard Bill Hicks had died however, it hit me like a ton of bricks and then a ton more. He has a far greater place in my heart and always will.

well ten years later and i'm almost back together again! dunno why i bother sometimes though... ignore me i'm wallowing in self loathing right now
hey man, i'm sorry but i'd never heard of bill hicks. i did a little research and i understand he's a comedian. and has a wildlife foundation in his name...that in itself is pretty admirable!
take care
