In what way? It's shocking sure, but come on man. More people than not are going to celebrate what that man did in his career.

Hendrix - overdose
Elvis - drug abuse Cobain - suicide Morrison - overdose Prince - overdose Lord Sutch - suicide McCready - suicide Delp - suicide 10 years from now his legacy will be just fine. Having demons is not a crime.

Yup. The world already had its Kurt Cobain. If he's going to go out like a punk, I'm under no obligation to treat his legacy with any special royalty. "Oooooh, his last song. What's it mean, man? So deep, man. What a hero and martyr."
Nah. Tired of the glorification of suicide and as much as I like grunge music, it's hard not to relegate that whole scene to a footnote in history. *Sigh*, they all killed themselves. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll, man. |

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Comparing him with Kobain is pretty silly. Cornell had an incredible voice. And lots of people think he was a pretty damn good all around musician. YMMV.
I got up feeling so down I got off being sold out I've kept the movie rolling But the story's getting old now, oh yeah I just looked in the mirror And things aren't looking so good I'm looking California and feeling Minnesota, oh yeah

That is the first time I have ever seen anyone write that. I mean different strokes, but really?

I'm surprised you've never heard anyone say this. Sometimes he was alright, but more often than not for me his voice existed in an awkward spot where it was too bombastic to hit me with gut-level emotion yet not bombastic enough to be interesting.
