But isn’t that what happens when you don’t think about what you want? You drift. You get caught in the current. You know you need to steer—but it’s so hard. And you know if you don’t, then you will again start to think about the metallic taste of the gun.
Is it fair to say that Kurt’s death was as momentous as the death of John Lennon? These two moments in time seem, to me, both different and yet the same. For many people, I imagine the loss of John was the loss of a voice. But what was the loss we felt when Kurt died? Maybe it was his voice. Maybe we lost a moment. Or maybe we saw truth in his final words. I don’t know. Regardless, I think it’s fair to say that the world had changed again—changed because Kurt Cobain was dead.
