Enough

I wasn't into grunge when it was popular. I was the right age, just didn't like flannel that much and I wanted my music to be more upbeat. But I understood that the bands doing the music were talented. Fine. I liked some of Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees and Nirvana. I was stunned and sadden when Cobain took his life.

But that was a long time ago now.

I live in Orange County, Californa and listen to KROQ. The claim to be the alternative rock station. They do not claim to be a classic rock station. But every day the play Nirvana. I don't mean durning flashback lunches or anything like that. I mean that Nirvana is still in the normal music rotation. Why? I don't hear Pearl Jam every day. Is this only because he tried to swallow a shotgun? I will accept Cobain's place in music history. I will give in that he was a very talented musician and writer. But that's it. His music does not transcend time... I'm tired of hearing it. I can't miss it if it won't go away.
