And thanks for sharing your Nirvana story. That is totally the honest high school experience, isn't it? Cool of you to love them even though your friends hated them. Also I am incredibly jealous that you saw them at the Aragon!<br /><br />Ashley, that is so awesome that you were born on the anniversary of Nevermind! I love hearing that their legacy lives on in very serious younger fans like yourself, too. I hope you get to Seattle. YOu will absolutely love it, I know!Stephanie Kuehnerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337734171729461782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747205010041270016.post-50129918894566635872011-10-03T10:35:13.629-07:002011-10-03T10:35:13.629-07:00I just read this and I love this to pieces. <3 ...I just read this and I love this to pieces. <3 <br />I wasn't around when Kurt was still alive, but when I was young, I listened to "In Bloom" a lot. Then when I started into my early teens, I met friends who were hardcore Nirvana fans, and, I picked up your books and slowly got more involved into Nirvana, The Ramones, and Nine Inch Nails. I must thank you for that, by the way.<br />Nirvana is one of the three bands that every song, I can really feel an emotion in it, and relate to every one. Doesn't matter if it was about something completely different from my life. I loved the simplicity, yet complicated ways of Kurt's lyrics. <br />I've written essays on their music, Kurt's death, etc, and luckily my English teacher was a hardcore Nirvana fan. I've expressed so many times on my blog, in class, to my friends, to my parents, how important it is for me to one day go to Seattle and see all the memorials - the bench, the bridge, etc.<br />It's also kind of neat how I was born on the anniversary of Nevermind. :) Ever since I found that out, I wear my Nirvana shirt on my birthday.Ashley McRaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14946433024284707805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747205010041270016.post-50859380517036971512011-10-01T07:53:47.684-07:002011-10-01T07:53:47.684-07:00Hi Stephanie -

I remember the first time I heard Nirvana - it was after football practice and some guys were making fun of it (before switching the tape to Metallica...) And I thought: "Holy SHIT." But, like most high school things, I also thought, "Wait... is it wrong to like them? Should I just listen to Snow or Naughty By Nature like everyone else?"<br /><br />Anyway - great post. It really brought back that time for me. And not to rub it in: but I got to see Nirvana at the Aragon. I grew up in Plainfield (of all places) and it was a major coup to go to the city on a school night, especially to see a band that every one of my friends hated.<br /><br />Anyway.Bryan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02065696515808415952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3747205010041270016.post-68683936071795123272011-09-30T18:41:22.770-07:002011-09-30T18:41:22.770-07:00That was a fabulous article!
