both Llayne Staley and Kurt Kobain died on 5 April, my birthday.

the song is Frogs, off of Alice in Chains's self titled album. quite possibly the most beautifully bleak, bitter and best track they ever recorded. AiC has been swirling my head for the last few days. too bad Grunge didn't last. that and the whole being dead thing for Llayne's and Kurt's part.

cheech:
I remember the Cobain death day pretty well. When I got up, I put on WHFS and a band was covering "Jesus Don't Want Me for a Sunbeam" and they were saying, "That's the song Kurt Cobain did blahblahetc," in these hushed tones, but I had no idea he died until I saw the noon news, which went something (in real time in my head) like this:
(note- halfway through news, at like 12:15, not at the beginning)
newsreader- "Rock singer Kurt Cobain..."
me- "Oh, jeez, what's he done now?" biggrin
newsreader- "...is dead."
me- "...." eeek shocked eeek eeek

I remember going across the street to shoot baskets with a couple of musician/ acquaintances and talkin about it that afternoon. Basically, just -shock and surprise- like everyone else.
