Somnivers so silly?? What's silly is that people like you think his incoherent thoughts spat out as lyrics could be elevated to the level of poetry. Kurt Cocain was the male version of Taylor Swift (grosses me out to think of) with better songwriting skills. He had no real skill as a musician to speak of, couldn't sing or play an instrument for shit. If he wasn't blond or white, nobody would give shit about him. The only reason he was more popular is that he shot himself, which made some suicidal angsty prepubescent boys and rockstar wannabes identify themselves with him.

They got #1 correct. Hendrix is the ALL TIME "what if?". What more would he had done if he hadn't died so young? Of course he was an exceptional guitarist but probably an even better song writer and innovator who to this day bewilders thousand of musicians.

[@connorcharlton6282]

You got that right

[@ArcAudios77]

Agreed Jon well put, but past his musicianship he was a very nice man indeed loved by all who came to know him. On Valentines Day 1968 he and his Women friends rolled 1400 joints and mailed them to people found in a London phone book. It is sad to realize that not 1 of those 1400 people who received a joint in 68 came to his funeral. All time great loss in the 27 Club.

[@alexhenson654]

I honestly think Courtney love is kinda shady if you think about Kurt Cobains death. He told her he was leaving her, cut her out of his will, and wanted full custody of Frances. His near-death coma in Rome not long after was believed to be a murder attempt, only Courtney claimed it was a suicide attempt. She went as far as to remove him from the hospital he was at to an American hospital against advice by the doctors. Everyone who knew Kurt said he wasn't suicidal, rather optimistic about the future. Only Courtney kept making it sound like he was going crazy. The shotgun shell fell to his right arm, while most detectives believed it should've fallen to his left arm given the angle his head and body were positioned with the shotgun in his arms. The amount of heroin in his system was considered to be too much for him to function well enough to angle a shotgun towards himself and shoot it. Tom Grant, an investigator Courtney hired to find Kurt after he checked out of rehab, even states that Courtney conspired against killing Kurt. The suicide note didn't sound very suicidal. Only the final paragraph had some inkling to suicide, no direct reference of it. Most of it read more like a departure from the music industry and impending divorce from Courtney. El Duce was an acquaintance of Kurt and Courtney who said that Courtney offered him 50k to shoot Kurt. Three days later, he was found dead on a railroad track supposedly suicide after drinking. Sounds awfully suspicious.
