Fifteen years ago today, the body of Kurt Cobain was discovered in Seattle. I still remember where I was; I know many other people around my age do, too. Here's one of the best videoclips of Nirvana out there.

at home, on spring break. 8th grade. remember hearing the news via cleveland's modern rock station, which came in fuzzy in the kitchen. i could barely hear what the announcer said. then i went and watched mtv all day and talked on the phone w/my friend bernard for hours. we were both upset.
Posted On: Wednesday, Apr. 8 2009 @ 12:50PMi, too, remember where i was. i was living in Austin at the time, wearing flannel and hanging out with a bunch of other disaffected twentysomethings. that day, i remember someone on the street telling us, and i remember being stunned, but not surprised, at the same time. we listened to In Utero a lot for the next week or so. commemorating that day, a Denver band recently played a show where they played that album in its entirety. they also had a bunch of other Denver musicians play their favorite Nirvana tunes. it was downright magical. if you're interested, you can check out more here.

They didn't come to STL on the '93 In Utero tour, only Mississippi Nights in '91 and I would've been too young at the time to go.
