Kurt Cobain's death made a huge impression on me. I wasn't really into his music but he had such an impact on my whole generation, in the way we dressed, wore our hair and in our taste in music. I was working at a music store when he died. The whole day--the whole week--people wandered in and out of the store, just looking for a place where they could talk with others about their feelings of confusion and mourning.
Nowadays, when I see a college-aged kid with a Nirvana shirt on, I wonder if that kid has any idea just what phenomenons Nirvana and Kurt were. Are they just trying to be cool, or do they really get it?
