Well said! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this piece. It’s interesting to hear the perspective of someone who wasn’t an instant fan but later connected with their music.

Plus, “looking as despondent as Morissey in an Arby’s” made me LOL

I lived in a rather narrow channel as a music listener in those days. Classic rock, a bit of alt-rock and Americana. I'm grateful that I became more open and discovered the rewards of grunge, hip-hop, funk, jazz, R&B, and...well, pretty much every genre has its shining stars.

I appreciate you dropping by, Liz, and you subscribing. I've been following your GenXccellent Substack for a while now and thoroughly enjoy your writing!

What a great way to come to appreciate Kurt’s music. I’d not heard that Dave was almost left out. I’m sure that would have been heartbreaking for him. Thanks for sharing this glimpse into your life.
