When generation x
was calling out for a savior
a light at the end of a tunnel,
of a lost heard of sheep-less souls.
They did not know
that their calling
was coming in the form of
chuck taylors, ripped faded blue jeans,
and bed head inspired locks.
Yet this almost bohemian
bum fashion god like deity
and he's musical partnerships,
was the voice of an era
and the prince of torture souls.
He strummed poetry into his music
and sung depression in his strained vocals.
They trashed drum sets
and amped up bass guitars
that cling tight to the ears of the youthful & unsure.
How I wish I was able
to be the fly on the wall
at their most famous stripped down performance.
The front-man of flannel flappers
and grunge worthy tasteful licks.
Isn't it funny that at one time
unplugged record deals
were once the king of all music television's format?
Yeah who knew.
Mr. Cobain, Kurt
your music meant so much
to all my older relatives.
The ones who are in their late 20's
early thirties, remember where they were
when "smells like teenage spirit" was a hit.
Some even remember when your first album, bleach
was consider sup-pop's raddest Seattle hit scene.
They remember, and they shall not forget.
I was too young to remember your impression
and your fall from grace.
but I am old enough
to learn and appreciate all of the lessons
you have taught and spread
through your punk infused adrenaline lyrics
all that spark heartbreak and melancholy disasters.
However generation x,
will you understand that your music
can't be lost forever
in a decade box of fads and fashions.
Do you understand that kids like me
need to learn your lessons
and hear your stories.
You left us from this world of torture,
you couldn't take the pain
but you didn't leave this place untouched.
You left behind a legacy
and a friend with much more to say.
Because of this,
you have inspired generation x
and they truely do appreciate the love.
So now please let's warmly introduce
the next helping hand
to new lost souls of Y & Z.
Kurt gave his last exist, so Dave come on in.
Honorable mention
