I have to say I think the world would be a better place if Cobain had died in 1944 and saved us having to hear those awful songs. (The exception being “And the top sheet is a dry weave”, as heard on the great The Day Today (althou you may be too young for that mean owt to you Carl lad!)
ha! au contraire, I have seen the day today, loved it, am a fan of most of Morris’ work. however, I’m afraid to say I was just at the right age when Nirvana was big around the mean streets of Basildon, so I have fond memories of them. they might not have had the same appeal had their lead singer been born in 1944.
“the mean streets of basildon” indeed carl. i’m moving back to the uk in 6 months, would love to see you. love your blog, how’s life?
