30 Years Ago Kurt Cobain Died

And now I’m paying tribute to him as a one-man band (and as a human)
4

If this post is a human being, I want to give it a hug. I want to embrace it and embrace all of you reading this with love and compassion.

All of us who grew up in the 90s knew the sad ending of the beloved, songwriting genius who led Nirvana.

Life is full of challenges. It doesn’t matter if you’re a rockstar or just a regular person.

If you’re having difficulty in life right now and you happen to be reading this, that means the universe has sent me to you.

Hang in there. We still have each other. Nothing lasts forever, including pain. And pain will go away without us having to exit this life prematurely.

Hang. In. There.

I Love You.

To be honest, I’m also both mentally and physically tired as I’m writing this. The Mighty One Man Band is not always mighty either. I’m freakin’ human too.

Nevertheless, I have faith in the light. I have my family and loved ones. I have you, my beloved Mighty Supporters. And you have me.

I know that I normally end my post by saying “Stay Mighty”. This time I’m not going to.

Stay sane and stay healthy,

Bruce (Mighty One Man Band)

That Ellipsis...
We Like All the Pretty Songs
“In his dreadful lassitude and objectless rage, Cobain seemed to have given wearied voice to the despondency of the generation that had come after history, whose every move was anticipated, tracked, bought and sold before it had even happened. Cobain knew he was just another piece of spectacle, that nothing runs better on MTV than a protest against MTV; knew that his every move was a cliché scripted in advance, knew that even realising it is a cliché. The impasse that paralysed Cobain is precisely the one that Fredric Jameson described: like postmodern culture in general, Cobain found himself in ‘a world in which stylistic innovation is no longer possible, where all that is left is to imitate dead styles in the imaginary museum…
