wow, VHM to a Nirvana bustout.
I've never heard this before. Intense, but not exactly good.
so I guess you wouldn't cop to the Lennon-of-his-generation comparison?
I had an interesting introduction to Nirvana. I was living in a pretty large apartment complex in Isla Vista (UCSB), and the managers had their own apartment, complete with nymphomaniac teenage daughter, whom they hired me to tutuor (she slept with my roommate). I also helped her get a PT job at the local K-Mart where I worked on weekends, and got to know a couple of her HS friends that way. One of whom was smokin' hot & one evening drove up in her Camaro to pick her friend up while I was out front after closing chatting with her. The smokin' hot friend leaned out the window & said, "You guys got to hear this!" and then she cranked up "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on her car CD player right there in the parking lot. I was literally blown away (& keep in mind I had been the TA for the Pop Culture History class twice by then, so I was at the peak of my Culture Vulture-hood, and had got the prof to work into the lecture content from both volumes of
The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization). I remember right then & there thinking that maybe, finally, punk was making a comeback & that hair metal was maybe, finally, on its way out.
