We moved to metro Seattle two years after the death of Kurt Cobain. I’ve often wished we’d been here to experience Seattle’s grunge era in all its glory. Sometimes it feels like there is a Cobain shaped void in the heart of this city.
Kurt is still profoundly missed and his presence and influence is still so alive. Over the years, I’ve had opportunity to visit a few of the clubs he and the band played when getting started, I’ve been by his Aberdeen home, and I’ve spent some time at the memorial/park behind his old house. Some people just touch lives and leave an impact, Kurt was certainly one of those. A while ago I was on a hunt to find Nirvana’s “Live on MTV” performance… feeling this song today …ten years and it feels like yesterday.
Jesus Doesn’t Want Me for a Sunbeam
by Nirvana
Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are never made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are never made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me Jesus, don't want me for a sunbeam Sunbeams are never made like me Don't expect me to cry For all the reasons you had to die Don't ever ask your love of me Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die Don't expect me to cry Don't expect me to lie Don't expect me to die for me
Peace, dwight
