      This is wrong, but so is the permanent solution to temporary problems.

      "Kurt Cobain" by Pinkard & Bowden:

      You walked into your bedroom, like you were walking into a fog
      Your hand strategically wrapped around your gun, you were emotionally sick as a dog
      You had one thumb on the trigger as you gazed into the bore
      Now all the band knows that they'll need a partner, they'll need a partner, and

      Kurt Cobain, they'll probably do the next one without you
      Kurt Cobain (Co-bain), I'll bet they do the next one without you, don't shoot, don't shoot!

      We could have tried this several years ago, when you were still in your teens
      Oh, but NOOOO, you had to go and bore us all with your flannels and worn-out jeans
      But you gave up way too soon my friend, you could have learned how to sing
      You had some dreams, now there's brains in your cornflakes, brains in your cornflakes, and

      Kurt Cobain, they'll probably do the next one without you
      Kurt Cobain (Co-bain), I'll bet they do the next one without you, don't shoot, don't shoot!

      Well, I heard you would shoot up with heroin, I guess you were naturally dumb
      And you drank yourself into a coma, cause you were totally sick of the grunge
      But your mom said, "Son, don't join that club, with Hendrix and all the rest"
      But you had the nerve and a round in the chamber, round in the chamber, and

      Kurt Cobain, they'll probably do the next one without you
      Kurt Cobain (Co-bain), I'll bet they do the next one without you, don't shoot, don't shoot!

      Who's gonna clean up the couch and the carpet, couch and the carpet?, and

      Kurt Cobain, they'll probably do the next one without you
      Kurt Cobain (Co-bain), I'll bet they do the next one without you, don't shoot, don't shoot!

          Beagle, you SO treed me. Yeah. I was right there. Good job. That's a great song, too!

          That thing shoulda been beer cans years ago, no matter if Cobain colored on it or not. Whatta rolling dump (if it runs).

              Dang, look at it go! Over $20K so far...

              Who in their right mind would....

              Never mind, that's a rhethorical question. And a wrong one, too, apparently.

              Lemme see.....should we paste all of this into Stude's Druggie thread? Maybe that's who's bidding....If that's so, where does the money...

              Shut up peewee. The world is crazier than the truth. Deal with it peewee.

                Whatever it goes for, its EXACTLY that much more than I'd pay. I don't get the whole scene. Guess I'm just an old fart.

                  Aw come on Dan... what wrong with a dodge. You should acquire your self one, I hear they are all the rage. Who is this Kurt kid any way?

                  Well I have stopped buying stuff for cars I don't own. Is that a step in the right or wrong direction?

                    I've got an idea....we could all put in a thousand dollars per each and set it up outside at Mike's shop in Michigan for the BangShift Jam and sell $5 hits with a sledgehammer. And send the proceeds to Mike's favoirte charity. That would be a fitting end, if we could all come up with the thousand dollars...

                    No, never mind that idea.

                        I just don't get why so many of you guys want to jump on mocking Cobain. No doubt the man had his demons, but his influence on music was titan. RIP, Kurt.

                          ^^^ Agree with Dulcich on this one. Nirvana blew up as I was just old enough to listen to their music. He and Nirvana were the engine behind the whole popularization of grunge rock.

                          Really? No one has mentioned the fact that the van smells like teen spirit?
                          That which you manifest is before you.

                            I'll mock any man..... even while talking on my phone when driving.

                            I bet that van would cause a drug dog to go into cardiac arrest.

                            My opinion: I was a college student when Nirvana hit and I believe Nirvana was just in the right place at the right time. Their music actually kinda sucked (with the possible exception of SLTS) but MTV poised them on the grunge pedestal for all to behold and they instantly (and reluctantly) shot to stardom. Of course, that was back when MTV actually played music videos and we had it on all day long. Nirvana (and Pearl Jam) was at the top of their rotation, you heard their stuff at least once every hour. I heard SLTS and though wow! and went out and bought Nevermind and absolutely hated it. In fact I can't name a single other song that was on that album. Had MTV thrown their marketing/promotional might as strongly behind any other grunge band, Nirvana would have been a one hit wonder. I also think people over emphasize their contribution to music solely because the guy killed himself near the peak of his popularity.

                            Oh and the van is still a POS.
