Kurt Cobain Tribute

If it wasn't for listening to Nirvana I most likely would never have picked up a guitar. After hearing Nirvana, and I had just moved to a new school at the same time I knew no one. I was inspired to learn guitar but had not yet, tho i actually told a lot of people I did play. They ended up asking me to play for a school function. I didn't know what to do. I just borrowed a guitar, a book, took a few lessons and learned Nirvana songs. I became good quit fast and quite my lessons. I learned about every nirvana song there was possible to learn.
From there i started a band called 'Fecal Matter', yes a rip off of nirvanas old name tho we basically were just covering nirvana songs. From there a band called Pandora and then One Mechanical Day (you can google that).
I hated school... i bought myself a CD player and would always listen to Nirvana (orb blind melon) on the bus to avoid talking to kids tho it wasnt like i was unpopular, i just didnt wannt to talk with anyone. I have learned thru reading every book i could get my hands on. his ethics , views, he introduced me to bands i would probably never heard of other wise, ie the Pixies, Melvins, Flipper, that I LOVE.
After one mechanical day, even tho the band is getting restructored and back together with new memebers (whats on line are old demos and drummer was horrible), I have found myself finally in a band that has been signed and doing well. My lifes goal. If it wasnt for cobain my life would probably be a lot different than it is now and i am glad i ended up who i am.
i went down some heavy roads dont get me wrong, tho the only one to blaim for that is myself... but, he and his music... and krist and dave all contributed to who i am as a person today. a HUGE part of my life.
R.I.P. Cobain
viva Nirvana.

I was never lucky enough to meet kurt or the rest of the band. I was born just several months after his death. Kurts song writing is one of a kind and no one will ever be able to make the impact he did. His lyrics made me see a bigger picture to life that others simply do not have the balls to display in their art. The love and kindness he had for people in general is something to admire. All we can do is continue to jam and pass his memory down the line to our childern in hopes that they will respect and love Nirvana as much as we do. RIP Kurt

Peace, Love, and Empathy :)
