In honor of the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s
death, NPR recently interviewed a man who has written his 2nd book
about the man. I had no idea there was even one book about Cobain, but I have
since learned there are many, many, many. Why? I don’t know. Nirvana fans, my
apologies. What’s so fascinating about this guy?
"Kurt loved plaid." |
Well according to the radio interview, Cobain is responsible
for the word *grunge* and all that is associated with that term – including, of
all things, fashion. You can literally google the term ‘grunge fashion’ and
see entire lines of clothing. Thanks, Kurt.
"I'm now going to add a stick of butter....." |
And speaking of drug abuse, how about recent news that
Nigella Lawson was barred from entering the United States for previous drug
use? Seriously? Please compare that to the dozens of American celebrities and
politicians (including our current president) who flaunt their drug use in our
faces and continue to live very happy and productive lives in the lime light. Rob
Ford, anyone? Uh, no thank you. Let’s cut the domestic goddess some slack. Any
woman who snacks while standing at the fridge in the middle of the night is all
right with me.
"Honey, let's eat in tonight." |
Have I upset anyone? Well here’s my last noteworthy news
story. I hope you are sitting down. A Michigan couple recently burned down
their apartment complex while using a blowtorch to remove the fur off of a
squirrel they were planning to eat for supper. More drug abuse? Possibly. They don’t
call it dope for nothing.
