The cover story of the latest Newsweek is an exclusive excerpt of Kurt Cobain’s diaries which are going to be published next month. Hello. YET ANOTHER event to wait for feverishly and anxiously. Well, today is the release date of the new Foo Fighters CD, so I can go buy it today, listen to it, and cross it off my list. Here’s my favorite excerpt from the excerpt:
“I like punk rock. I like girls with weird eyes. I like drugs. (But my Body and Mind won’t allow me to take them). I like passion. I like playing my cards wrong. I like vinyl. I like to feel guilty for being a white, American male. I love to sleep. I like to taunt small, barking dogs in parked cars. I like to make people feel happy and superior in their reaction towards my appearance. I like to have strong opinions with nothing to back them up with besides my primal sincerity. I like sincerity. I lack sincerity … I like to complain and do nothing to make things better. I like to blame my parents generation for coming so close to social change then giving up after a few successful efforts by the media & Government to deface the movement by using Mansons and other Hippie representatives as propaganda examples on how they were nothing but unpatriotic, communist, satanic, inhuman diseases, and in turn the baby boomers become the ultimate, conforming, Yuppie hypocrites a generation has ever produced.”
