If that's a representative sample of Cobain's writing -- well, I wish he'd written more literately. Jim Morrison seemed to write better -- and with attitudes that weren't too dissimilar. But better spelt.
Having seen all that stuff while it was flowering -- meh, I don't give it the value some do, or did. It collapsed of its own inner faults, and its survivors give it the sentimental regard of memories of a former time; that's all.
Smells Like Teen Spirit: Tori Amos covered it; Weird Al Yankovic fried it.
