I was describing to a younger friend how Kurt Cobain sang so ferociously that it tore into his throat that bled into his stomach that through stage fright he got acid reflux mixing with the ripped cells in pain I don't want to imagine- yet he went on every night a level of commitment that almost needs committing unimaginable to literally sing your core out and turn down in remembrance's analgesic to forget it. Something else died that cruel April in '94 - yes a rebirth spirit of wonder we felt breaking toys - something excessive needs to fill the human heart to sustain it - this madness now is from a conformist place of hurt words when the pain of art is not just distraction it is a crystallisation of a moment made real between people - it is why the supposedly empathic Woke want to kill art especially comedy because it is real connect - music is already on life support, iron lung
