Kurt said in one of his interviews that he had been listening to the song “Not a second time” by Beatles for 3 hours straight.And that’s how “About a girl” was born.100% he didn’t even know about this band And the same thing is about bodast.He wasn’t into that kind of music,he was more of a Celtic frost or led zeppelin Guy.He didn’t know about them. And also about “Heart shaped box”.Whether he ripped it of or not,he changed like a genius.The vocal line is something that John Lennon would do.And the riff is very complicated.He was one of the best songwriters out there. Kurt was huge fan of wipers and melvins.But potential suicide almost doesn’t sound like breed. And sister Europe doesn’t sound like big long now either...Not at all... And also wth is “el Chavo”?
