a song that defines a generation, or changes one....

This salient piece by Arthur Big Boy Crudup.

One of many sad examples where super talented black artists, with highly original songs were taken advantage of by white producers/ record companies. They would pay a paltry flat fee for the rights to the songs, then re-recording them with a white artist and making a killing while the original musicians die of starvation and are buried in unmarked graves. Criminal!

As Kurt said...

He pretty much created the ultimate pop song

I'm not sure it was the lyrics--"a mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido!"

Huh?

I know I love playing the drum part - Grohl was on fire throughout this band, even on Unplugged.

It’s true that Kurt Cobain and Nirvana had something that spoke to a generation, and his untimely death was universally mourned.
