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
