I suppose it's just that I really don't see why I would want to really care
about the feelings/inspirations/political leanings-whatever, of people I've
never met.  I mean what's really sad is that there are people out there who
really *did* believe that Kurt Cobain was someone who should be thought of as
a spokesman for their generation of lost souls.

I don't really care for Nirvana (their music was about as inventive as dirt,
and their sound was invented in Minneapolis (or the UK) from my perspective,
not Seattle), but I *do* like Jane's Addiction, one of the very few
'alternative' groups that actually created something new.  But whatever it was
that Perry Farrell was trying to say isn't anything I want to even try to
understand.  He's pretty frightening I'm sure.

So what happens if you hate/disagree with the lyrics??  Does that make a
musical composition less enjoyable??  Not for me.

Simply speaking, it means 'Contradiction in terms'.....all I'm trying to say,
is that Antarctica isn't "owned" by anyone, so it can't be "mine".

Yeah, I didn't want to sound *too* negative.... :)
