I hope that Joni didn't have Cobain in mind when she wrote those lyrics.
Cobain's songs are not whiney, they are expressions of a very troubled mind.
He wasn't a rich kid playing at angst but a talented musician who suffered
from depression and drug addiction and ended his life despite (because of?)
success.
While Joni can be irritating and arrogant, I choose to believe that she is
not that insensitive. For now anyway.
