The early deaths of Keats and Mozart are indeed kind of fetishised, whereas, say, the early deaths of Schubert, Gershwin, Austen go relatively unremarked. Fans know about them but for some reason haven’t dwelt on them.

They must of been doing something right as Nirvana had the tallest bassist known to man. He’s something like 6 foot 7, how can you miss the guy, yet we did.

For Kurt Cobain you can easily apply the same to Syd Barrett and Ian Curtis, the great what if? Conversely if Status Quo bit the dust just after Caroline and Paper Plane, Pearl Jam splitting having just recorded just Vs and Ten, hell even Cliff Richard going the way of Eddie Cochrane with just a handful of singles under his belt, of course we’d see them in a different light than we now do. After all that’s how legends are made.

Nirvana sucks. Kurt sucks. And no doubt, you’d love him to be the one sucking your balls.
Nirvana is the most pathetic example of music there is. Kurt killed himself because he realized that.
Maybe you should follow suit then, huh?

I think it is an excellent approach to knock all music in this way.

“…I hate music. All of it”? That makes for a single statement 1 page website. You must have a terribly unhappy life if you “hate” all music so much, as music is everywhere in many shapes & forms, from radio stations & bars, to the busy streets & the birds in your trees in the morning.

Do you watch television on mute ald listen to ‘talk radio’ (but mute the jingles)? :)

I have however looked at 2 pages on your site, so for that, you rule.

Oh and if you ever find a genie in a lamp, be sure to use one of your wishes to donate your ability to hear music to a deaf person, as I’m sure they would cherish it more than you do.

Kind regards.

In 1991 rock was at its lowest ever ebb” and then it got “even worse”

you missed out the date. so IN 1991 it was at its lowest ever ebb at that point, then sunk lower, is perfectly possible. i suppose it hangs on the past-tense status of “ever”

The Mark Lamarr thing is too low a blow though.

Sometimes I think you should arrange all your least-favourite music into some kind of ranking, to stop you contradicting yourself. Because when logic and argument go out of the window, humour follows closely, to be replaced by bile. And bile attracts idiots.

Bile also, at times, makes you sound a bit like Mark Lamarr.
