Since a little while after discovering Kurt's death, I started hearing things about how nobody wanted to play music anymore, and I think Thurston Moore said this as well, that them and all the rest of the bands just didn't feel right about playing music because it was like their leader had died. I guess this is why a lot of bands broke up. I get it, I mean I would probably do the same thing. I can't imagine continuing on with music after the guy that helped make all of us famous and was one of us and was saying everything we were saying and was the reason all of us had jobs right now dies, but somebody somewhere should have said "No, you know what, this just means that we should have MORE good musicians today, and make sure this style of music never goes away, now that the big guy is dead. We should do it for the children, to preserve good music and grunge and alternative rock for generations to come, because now that Kurt is dead, it would be easy for this stuff to go away and music to become bad once again." I know that sounds like it would take someone looking into the future to say that, but hey, it is what happened and somebody along the way should have predicted it in time to stop it. The phrase "Won't Somebody PLEASE think of the children" comes to mind.

Grunge Never Died
So I recently created this facebook page called "Spread the word of good newer grunge bands" to show people that grunge obviously never died, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spread-the-word-of-good-newer-grunge-bands/192998060774625?sk=wall in case anyone out there wants to check it out. I was talking to someone and realized that a lot of people don't know of the good new grunge bands that I know of, and I'm sure there are TONS of good new grunge bands I don't know of, so why don't I create a facebook page where we all spread what we know, and learn from each other, and new grunge bands can find other new grunge bands and realize they aren't alone. Grunge never died, it's just back to being in the underground like it was a decade before Nevermind came out, except now it's all over the world, and continuously since Kurt died there HAVE to be loads of new grunge bands, so we might as well find them, or share what we know. Oh, and while I'm posting, I thought of another song I wanted to post. It's not new, but I got hooked on it immediately. Yeah, new grunge bands feel like they could fit in with that scene, I love the way that works. Just goes to show you influence never dies.
