Happy Birthday/Rest In Peace K.C.

I was about to call it a night when I saw that Kurt Cobain would have turned 40 years old today. My brother is only a couple years older than he would have been, so it's not like the greying of Generation X hasn't been in my mind. However, when you think of an infamous figure like Kurt Cobain being an age that I remember my father being (I was 10), it makes you do a double take to say the least. I remember one day over ten years ago being witness to a discussion on whether Nirvana's music would hold up and be regarded as one of the best bands of all time. I feel wholly unqualified to offer an opinion there, but I remember both sides being at completely opposite ends. In the end it was probably due to the fact that one of these individuals worshiped Nirvana and the other hated them with a passion. However, I'd be interested to know what each of them would say now, especially on K.C.'s 40th birthday. Whatever your feeling on him or the band, I add my approval of the overwhelming message on the net: We wish his daughter Frances Bean a peace her father never experienced.
