    Too bad he killed himself years ago. Do birthdays still carry any significance after you die? Kind of ironic if they do.

    To me it's just a reminder of how quick life moves on, he was only 27 when he died, when your in your 20's 40 seems ages away.

    well the media is always banging on about how old john lennon or freddie mercury would have been. i guess they still enjoy counting even after someone has passed.

    How can you call someone mighty who was weak enough to kill himself? I don't care how much you "hate your popularity." There is just no excuse for it.

    Plenty of people kill themselves. Think about it, you would have to be in a state of exceptional emotional anguish to do such a thing, add to that an out of control heroin addicition and the inability to cope with being a celebrity. It wasn't a surprise it happened. But, he did make some incredible music, and did help change an entire generation of music, whilst wiping out the shitty hair metal of the 80's, which is pretty damn impressive in my book.

    Yeah, but the mighty ones survive that shit. They don't give up and blow their brains out. I mean, its just music. Its not like he fed starving children and created world peace. He killed himself cause he was famous. How weak.

    There is a conspiracy for everything. The man is dead *most likely* because of suicide. Fine, whatever makes you happy. But bottom line is that his birthday is now irrelevant. I like Nirvana, but I would love to never hear about Cobain again.

    People talk about Princess Di, Elvis, Joey and Dee Dee Ramone and many others on their birthdays all the time. Ya know that holiday that we had yesterday? That was a celebration of not only our presidents but...whoa, our two most famous presidents' birthdays!!

    B/c you know exactly what he went through...before and during his tenure in the spotlight. How do you know you wouldn't do the same thing? I'm sure your response will be "b/c i'm not weak like that pussy" or something brilliant like that. Whatever. Until you go through what he did, you have no room to talk imo.

    That might be true, but it can still be true and only be something that someone weak does.

    I am sorry. Did you just compare a 90's musician to the president? Damn, I forgot I was talking about the grunge god himself, Mr. Cobain. But seriously, I don't think you understand my point. None of those people killed themselves!!!

    I don't care what he went through. He didn't like being famous and did drugs. No fucking reason to off yourself. I would love to be famous. If he didn't like it, he should have stopped making albums.

    I'd love to see you get famous. If you were famous i would get to laugh at you spouting off to reporters and the public the way you're spouting off in here. It'd be great!! So good luck! :D

    Killing himself when he had a child makes him not only a grade a pussy, but also a selfish fuck. Who knows how fucked up that kid will be with courtney as her role model

    I am not trying to seem like a heartless ass or anything like that, it's just kinda morbid to celebrate the birthday of someone who is dead. How about we make Mr. Cobain a cake. We could all wear those fun little hats and sing that wonderful birthday song.

    Actually those who know their daughter have said how remarkably grounded and normal she is.

    People think they know everything just from what they get in the media, but there is a whole other side to everything.

    I hate how a completely innocent thread, which to me was just a point of reflection, can turn into a character assassination.

    Completely agree. Just because someone makes good/decent music, doesn't mean he should be a fucking hero. The guy was a douche.

    Cause having a heroin addict father suffering from extreme clinical depression would be such a positive influence?

    If it was a thread on someone who hadn't assassinated his own character this wouldn't happen. I mean, I love Layne Staley, but in truth he was nothing more than a sad junkie who made good music. People need to face these facts and realize that some stuff just doesn't need the attention anymore.

    ^^^ Can everyone who calls "suicide" please just look at this? I don't care if it changes your opinion, just be open to the conspiracy that could be true. It's actually a pretty freaky read.

    Interesting, but it seems a bit biased. But its worthy of a look.
