When Slow News Days Attack

axl-nirvanacap.jpgThe New York Daily News‘ gossip column would like to remind you that Kurt Cobain, now 14 years passed, didn’t like Axl Rose. While this information isn’t really all that new, the lede to the piece sets new standards of… something: “Fans of Kurt Cobain continue to mourn the Nirvana rocker. But Cobain’s 1994 suicide did have one upside: he didn’t have to listen to loathsome Axl Rose anymore.” Uh, well, that makes it OK, then? [NYDN / Image via this message-board thread that rehashed the whole thing four years ago]

    Poor Kurt. If only he’d known Axl would spend 15 years and counting on his next album. In fact, Kurt managed to release 5 albums in that time in spite of being dead.

    I just love that there were Nirvana baseball caps. “No sell out!”

    I love how back in the day Axl always wore hats to tell everyone who he liked (ie. he did the same with NWA, etc.) I can just imagine this conversation between Axl and himself back in 1989 “Hmm, I really like that Milli Vanilli stuff. It’s really good. I think I’ll wear a hat of them”

    I can imagine conversations between Axl and himself through the present on all sorts of subjects.

    But Cobain’s 1994 suicide did have one upside: he didn’t have to listen to loathsome Axl Rose anymore.

    Ummm… for the most part, neither have we.

    @agolden: “Hrm… I dunno. This ‘O.P.P.’ hat might be a little tacky for the ‘November Rain’ shoot…

    …ah, fuck it. I’m W. Axl Rose!”

    That cap looks way too big for Axl’s little head! :)
