Don't forget that Cobain's death was related to drugs. That's what I'm saying though. The fact that his music is creative and whatnot, is fine, he can win awards for that all he wants. Then let's leave it at that. Who DOES care that he had a hard time growing up, good for him, I'm glad he made it. But I thought this was all about the music? Not his personal life. Despite whether or not I like any of those artist's music that you listed above, I don't respect a damned one, either because of their behavior or their personality, etc. Yes, this is a different subject than music, obviously. I'm making reference to those who were so hell-bent on mentioning his rough time growing up, rather than his actual music, despite the fact that some of his music had to do with it. They are indeed 2 different things.
