Sorry - but i have no sympathy for people who commit suicide. There's a
saying that goes "those who commit suicide don't end their pain, they leave
it on the shoulders of those who they left behind". The only man i ever
might have married shot himself right in front of me almost 20 years ago,
his family will never be the same, that night changed the course of my life
forever.
No doubt Cobain was a troubled spirit, but reality check, um let's see, i'm
a millionaire, i'm at the pinnacle of my career, i have everything that most
people don't even get in their whole lifetime - think i'll OFF MYSELF!!
Sorry if this offends anyone, that is not my intention, but i had to speak
up.
Donna

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.
