Was driving with my Lady Z the other week and the middle section of DRAIN YOU came on - the bit with the distortion and drumming and echoes and such... She didn't recognize it and asked me what it was and how did it come to be playing on mainstream radio, being such an anarchic bit of noise, comparable to a lot of the weird underground stuff I listen to at home... I explained what it was, and suddenly she understood what Kurt brought to the table, ie, he brought some really messy racket onto Top 40 radio and many living rooms by disguising it as seriously quality songs and stellar attitude. Granted they lack the songwriting chops and the cosmic 'tude, there are many people out there making brilliant din that most of us will never hear
