I like The Who but I don't get the same emotional effect I get from Nirvana. It's all about what music you enjoy and what makes you happy. I wish everyone could just have their personal favorites without having to impose them on everyone else. Just enjoy what music moves you and let it be. Peace, love, and empathy. RIP Kurt 724126@blogcritics.org Fri, 6 Jun 2008 05:43:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-713177 Pete Townshend was guitarist and song writer for the greatest band ever, The Who.

To interpret Cobain's meaning (from perspective) -"Hope I die before I get OLD like Pete Townshend didn't do".Plain and simple. I am also a big Nirvana and Kurt fan, so I also know of his warped sense of humor.I take his statement as being both truthful yet sarcastic.A genius like comment, that uneducated music fans just didn't get.Let's just say that Kurt's comment went over just about everyone's head.:) Pete's reply to Cobain's now infamous statement was eloquently stated by Pete, who himself was a tortured yet highly talented artist as Kurt was.Pete now-a-days is a survivor.A Popular culture Icon,a man of infinite wisdom,and one of the most influential artists of all time. My final tribute to all rock/pop artists of the past and present.Like the many literature icons and art painters,musicians,etc - so many of them are and were geniuses with tortured minds. From The Who's AMAZING JOURNEY: "sickness will surely take the mind, where minds can't usually go". As for Pete's child porn pc access charge: NOT GUILTY.And as some posted here,Pete tried to go above the law, and he was wrong for doing so. But that's all he is guilty of.The lead UK investigator later admitted that he himself and the police were WRONG for bringing Pete in for questioning in the first place.It is clearly documented on film in a BBC documentary. Pee Wee Herman,Gary Glitter,etc - were arrested and found with tons and tons of evidence after the fact. Pete was found with NOTHING! Come on, I said he was a genius, not a Genie.One cannot have mansions completely void of pedo magazines and have a dozen computers completely clean - it is pc forensically impossible as stated by experts. Poor Pete will have to live with a tarnished name because of the UK investigators, whom now have to live with a guilty conscience, as they have professed. 689354@blogcritics.org Mon, 21 Jan 2008 14:11:49 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-687627 Stop saying Pete Townshend has no right to review your precious Kurt's journals. He already did and there's not a thing you can do about it. Deal. 687627@blogcritics.org Sun, 13 Jan 2008 21:50:16 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-686006 i just want to clear some things up. Kurt Cobain is/was not the best musician ever. he was good at writing songs aand guitar riffs but as far as playing, he completely sucked. im not hating or anything, i love nirvana(even got their box set) they're my favorite band. But stop calling him the best musician ever because he wouldnt have liked that. music was a way for him to express himself, not to be glorified. also, he couldnt have killed himself. all evidence said there had to be someone there with himhe had too much heroine in him to kill himself. so unless 1. the gun discharged and hit him in the exact same place that would hit if he shot himself or 2. someone killed him or he asked them to kill him or 3. he killed himself and someone put drugs in him. all of these could be considered murder or assisted suicide but no matter what, someone could have stopped him. he also suffered from a lot of anxiety problems which is why he talks about courtney love so much like he hates her then like he loves her. If Kurt Cobain was still alive, I think he would have moved to europe or some foreign place. His "suicide note"(which is aavailable to the public via online) sounds more like hes talking about leaving courtney for some time and quitting music, but he wanted to see everyone again. so stop bashing people cuz ur ignorant. also, the who sux why is pete even still alive? 686006@blogcritics.org Mon, 7 Jan 2008 21:35:00 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-681198 I love both Nirvana and The Who. Kurt Cobain and Pete Townshend are both great songwriters and I've related to songs from both of them. While I can understand how some people share a deep passion for Kurt and his music, it's simply quite pretentious to say that Kurt Cobain is the best musician of all time. I bet if Kurt Cobain were alive, he would tell you he's NOT the best musician of all time. After all, it's a matter of opinion. Musically, Kurt Cobain wasn't that talented, but he did have a penchant for displaying emotional, well-thought songs. All Pete Townshend was saying with this review was that he's been in Kurt's shoes and he can understand what Kurt was thinking, but that he grew past that stage and matured. Nirvana fans need to realize that Kurt was mature, but he didn't have the chance to really "grow up" and realize his full potential. What did the comment "I hope I die before I become Pete Townshend" mean? Who knows, Kurt probably just thought it was funny. Maybe he was making a play at the Who song "My Generation" (considering by the time Kurt wrote the comment, Pete was old). But I highly doubt it was meant with serious disrespect to Pete, as Kurt was influenced by The Who and other contemporaries from the era, such as The Beatles. Those who disrespect "dinosaur rock" aren't as open-minded as they believe themselves to be, because if they were, they'd realize Kurt was heavily influenced by the so-called "dinosaur rock," and they would appreciate it. While I love Nirvana, many Nirvana "fans" piss me off with their ignorance. Their horrible grammar, their literal interpretation of the line "I hope I die before I become Pete Townshend," and their constant moaning about Courtney Love and how she supposedly killed Kurt. Hey, guess what ladies and gentleman? Kurt was depressed, addicted to drugs, and couldn't find a way out. I'm not saying the murder theory is unlikely, but I'm also saying it's not unlikely that he committed suicide either. Think for yourself before you run around acting ignorant. Kurt would be ashamed of his so-called "fans" if he were alive today. 681198@blogcritics.org Tue, 18 Dec 2007 16:37:40 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-614793 OMG Cobain is the best thing that ever happened its better that he's dead because thats the way he wanted it and pete is dumb to be alive and not dead from drugs because cobain is a genius OMG OMG 614793@blogcritics.org Wed, 25 Jul 2007 10:53:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-563104 by reading these journals, i have a much deeper understanding of kurt and his personal life. townshend still has no buisness reviewing them, though. i can understand wher kurt is coming from (with his childhood anyway.) my parents divorced when i was 5 and i was diagnosed as hyperactive as well. reading these journals saddens me to a point of desperation as to where i wish i could sit and talk with cobain. a man as deep as cobain should never have had to resort to drugs to solve his deeper, personal problems with himself and courtney love. however, cobain claimed that heroin was the narcotic that could reduce his later undiagnosed stomach pains. cobain was a deep man who i believed may have wanted to die only due to the pressures of being a part of NIrvana and the instant, almost, shall i say, overnight stardome. however, i do believe that courtney love killed him. for example, the shotgun found at the scene was fully loaded when it was found with three shells. not a single shot in the chamber. cobain was so young and had more time than any other potential rockstar. brilliant he was, however under too much pressure along with pains going all the way back into his early childhood. his lyrics, so deep and explanatory to cobains inner feelings. all that is, in words, left to say is: rest in peace kurt, rest in peace. 563104@blogcritics.org Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:32:46 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-539975 Personal attacks are not allowed? Seems to be plenty going on here. So much for rules huh? 539975@blogcritics.org Sun, 18 Feb 2007 19:28:14 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2002/11/04/211614.php#comment-536052 Thursday 15th February 2007 I have never read Kurt Cobain's so-called Diarys,because i strongly disagree with his corpse being raped by his ex-wife yet again for cold,hard,cash.They were personal and private he never intended to have them published;if he had wanted to publish his personal-writings,he could have published them himself in his tragically-brief Lifetime on Earth,could he not!? I have never read any biographies of Kurt Cobain or NIRVANA for exactly the same reason:i despise so-called "RockBiopics" written by some salivating-sychophant or envious-loser out to make a fast-buck.They never present an accurate portrait of the person and are tedious in the extreme:the usual trite,sh$te,hackneyed rockstar fodder of cheap-souless-sex,hard-drugs and boring rockstar stories about nothing.Yawn.A waste of time.That wasn't all Kurt Cobain was, i am sure, and i very much doubt that his Family and True-Friends want to see him become one more cheapened corny rockstar-tale of cheap-sex,drugs and "rock 'n'roll" YAWN!(some cashcow-milking for the Record Companys and his Ex-Wife ["EX-Wife":on account he was murdered so is no-longer married,technically-speaking])The hackneyed -tale of the mythologised "hero" of self-indulgent,narcissistic suck-cess;because that isn't who Kurt Cobain was,really,i believe. In the same vein, i detest so-called "Rockbiopic" Movies acted-out by some souless-buffoon Hollywood Actor who gets paid 10 x the amount the Musician ever got paid in his whole God -Damn Life for PRETENDING TO BE SOMEONE HE IS NOT! ie:Moron!Fugugly dumb fxxktard Val Kilmer in SH$TFACE's(my name for him)(Oliver Stone's) sychophantic -homage to Ol$ver's first rockstar-crush the nauseating -arrogant overated puerile-pooetry(sic:poetry!?) of doggerel-Jimbo i mean!Jim Morrison.(in SH$TFACE's PopCorn Blockbuster FastB$cks Movie:The DOORS-which i have never watched on-account i cannot stand Val Kilmer,for-one and secondly for reasons as-above and thirdly because i hate SH$TFACE!) So,no i do not want to pay Good-Money to watch some imbecilic vomitworthy Hollywood Cretin(Actor) prance around like a total-twat acting-out his pathetic rockstar-fantasy and getting paid $10,000,000 for doing so;when most Musicians would never earn that in their entire Professional career.Sickening! As for Pete Townsend who was indeed caught with Child Pornography downloaded onto his computer which he had to fully-conciously use his Credit- Card to illegally download "for research purposes".Why didn't he inform the Police,first of -all,before he felt an inexplicable and highly-suspect need to download Child Pornography!?They would have asked him exactly why he felt this dubious-need and probably put him on file as a suspected pedophile. He gives me the creeps.I would not want to meet him. He can claim he is innocent,fine! I have my personal-opinion on the matter.Better to be safe than sorry.No smoke without fire.Whatever. I'm not saying Pete Townsend is a certifiable Pedophile;i am saying the circumstances are very -suspect-sounding to me and i would not want him around my children,if i had any. He could have rang-up ECPAT(End Child Prostitution and Tourism) and asked them if he could download seized-images of Child Pornography from known Sexual-Abusers:"Sex-Tourists" a less-honest less-emotive ,less-graphic-sounding word than known Pedophile;as "S$x-worker" is the Pro-Pr$stitution Lobby: EVIL C$NTS(see Dogsh$tty U.K.Government for details in dogsh$tty-Liverp$$l )dogsh$tty -campaigner's word used nowadays for dogsh$tty-pr$stitute/wh$re/h$$ker/sexual-abuser as all dogsh$tty-pr$stitutes are sexual-abusers.(Conciously sexually-abusing every single partner and child of every single -person they have demanded cash for some dogsh$tty-sex from) But,Pete Townsend didn't telephone an Anti-Child Pr$stitution Campaign Office-he downloaded images of Child Pornography on his home-computer ,deliberately and conciously using his Credit-Card which is how he got caught,i think. So,can you put 2+2 together!? Why would anyone do that,unless they wanted to do it thinking because they were a rich famous rockstar,they were above the LAW!? Why would anyone travel to South-East Asia,specifically Thailand,Cambodia,Vietnam,(unless,perhaps they were a Vietnam Veteran wanting to remininesce on their "Heroic" -Vietnam Tour of Duty!?)knowing it is one of the most evil,vile places on Earth practically a Pedophile-Shangri-La.I would never travel to South East Asia,myself because i know what goes on there-it is a sh$thole.Pedophiles and Pr$stitutes breed Pedophiles and Pr$stitutes like maggots breed flies.What can you do!?let them know you know exactly what they are and avoid them like the PLAGUE.
