Shonen Knife put out albums in 91, 92, & 93. But after Kurt died in 94, Shonen Knife didn't put out a record until 96. It includes the song Keep on Rockin'--which I don't see how it can be about anything else than a tribute to Kurt, given the lyrics... "Felt dreamy inspiration when I saw you yesterday" ... "You gave me an emotion almost lost my way" ... "I felt fascination when I sang your song today" ... "Got your invitation everything's going okay" ... "Keep on rockin'"

Fun fact: Kurt liked Hello Kitty.

Cameron Gibson I can’t tell if you’re a sheltered kid or completely stupid, but you’re trying to tell me that shooting up heroin doesn’t change your personality or make you a bad person? I used to know people that became junkies and i can tell you with full conviction they’re the most selfish, deprived, pitiful people you’ll ever meet. The drug turns you into an absolute dog and I recognise that addiction is a disease beyond the sufferer’s control but don’t be so fucking naïve alright. Heroin will make you steal from and fuck over your best friend or start whoring yourself out if it means getting your next hit, doesn’t matter if your a down and out on a council estate or a millionaire rock star. Don’t make exceptions/excuses just because ur a fan

Imagine being the 80's meathead who was a diehard for any big concerts and went to shows where every band on the bill was a main attraction, then you give Nirvana a try in 1992, and you arrive for the opening band, and it's Shonen Knife. Of course, these were the dudes showing up to Nirvana gigs, and acting like morons, and ruining the level of fame that Kurt just took on. At the same time, Kurt giving indie acts the stage was his way of flipping a finger to the rock stars who were begging him on the phone to tour together.

It seems more like a huge thing now than it was back then though, believe me. Nirvana was popular, but they got bigger and their legend grew as the years went on after Kurt killed himself. I'm just being honest, as I was a 20 yr old fan myself back then.

Dave thinking: but isn't ABBA a tiny bit better?

No one disliked this? That's interesting. I'm curious why that is? Is it that only a fan would find this video? Or maybe could it be that Shonen knife arent familiar to western audience so it doesn't trigger dislike reaction? Or is it that this music is impossible to dislike? Lol!
