Cobain died ten years ago today. Discuss.

Was this a big deal for anyone? I was in college and, at the time, it was pretty intense, especially as I had tickets to seem them over the summer (they were to headline Lollapalooza).

It was a pretty depressing day...

NPR did a retrospective on him this morning.

I was also in college, and I remember being unsurprised when I heard that he'd died because he'd been recovering from an overdose earlier that semester. But I remember thinking that it sucked a lot.

Eddie Vedder's obituary in the LA Times was really good, I thought.

She looks so much like her father it's almost shocking. Good thing for her he was a good looking guy.

this pic is from a couple of years ago. Still, the resemblance to her father is pretty amazing:

Wow, she really does look like her dad...good thing she doesn't look like her skanky plastic mom.

Never saw it. Link?

So, I had a dream that it was 1984 again (like I didn't screw up that year badly enough already, right?) -- and I wondered...if there was an internet in 1984 (I don't want to hear from the geeks that will tell me that arapnet or whatever was around then, btw) what would be posted on lawtalkers.com?

Betamax is so clearly superior to VHS that it's not even funny.

I picked up a "Where's the beef?" t-shirt at Spencer's at the mall the other day ... oh, and does anyone want tickers to a Kajagoogoo show? Face value for my FB friends before I post fliers in the commons area.

I'm telling you, Sun Country Wine Coolers are *so* much better than Bartles and James. What kind of moron thinks that those guys are anything other than a couple of sell-out shills, anyway?

Can you believe what happened on The A-Team last night? I couldn't imagine how Hannibal was going to deal with BA, but as usual Face showed him the way.

Ap...uh, not for nothing, but Sarah Purcell is kinda cute.

The Oddman thinks that Run DMC is a sellout because of that Aerosmith thing.

Sidd, all I said was that *some* men have an irrational dislike of "Kate and Allie" -- I'm happy that you are comfortable with the sexual issues discussed in it, and that you also watch "Cagney and Lacey."

Bilmore, how can you honestly dispute the assertions made in "October Surprise"? Plus, Mondale's daughter is kinda cute.

I've seen reports that those alleged "nuns" killed in El Salvador were working for the Sandanistas. And Ron Jr. is not gay -- the same people who say that probably say that Patti is into bondage.

How many times do I have to explain that tax cuts will lead to an elimination of the deficit? It's called the Laffer Curve, and when rates decline, collections increase because of the increase in market activity.

I really don't see why it's a big deal that he shortened his name from "Hartpence." He is the future of the Democratic Party.

I would have been extolling our love of Prince's Purple Rain.

Sheesh.

Oh, god, it's been ten years. I had an e-mail account, but I can't remember seeing a web page until a year and a half later...

A google search found this, and maybe that was it, though I vaguely remember seeing something that had Vedder's byline on it.

Great post, NotBob!

Does anyone know if he is doing a toned down act this tour because of JW? That would be sad.

I was 9 and would have been posting on GIJoe.com

I was 9 and would have been posting on mylittlepony.com, but my boyfriend would have been 17 and driving around in his mom's car and bragging to the other guys on the high school football team which cheerleader he was banging. Yuck.

I would have been wearing out my Fast Times VHS tape and looking forward to the next starring vehicle for the guy who played Mike Damone...

Who or what is JW? I have no basis for comparison whether the show was toned down from past ones. There was no nudity or particularly racy stuff.

In other show news, Seinfeld was very funny. But, as is often the case, his opener was even funnier. Mario Joiner did a riff on cell phone service plans and some jokes about his mid-life crisis that had me crying.

She is adorable. I remembe3r that Courtney Love, pre numrous surgeries, resembled Tina Yothers. I can see that a bit with this kid, just less round features. And Frances Bean is a fantastic name. My friend who named her daughet Claire wishes she thought of it.

I would have been mocking all of the Madonna wannabes and claiming that she has no talent and she'll just be a bad memory by 1986.
