No rock or pop or rap or hip hop music will be rememberd by anyone really in the grand scheme of things. Only by people that listened to it.

Sorry Beatles fans, the only reason the Beatles are still being remembered is because Rolling Stone denotes a cover or 2 to them every year and because the sixties was only 40 years ago and because if they didn't make them important, they wouldn't have a magazine. It's a machine. See how it is in another 50 years.

Young people, name an iconic oldie singer you can really claim will live on in the minds of the world (or america) forever (or for a hundred years even) in the minds of men.

Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. Are you going to be around in a hundred years? Probably not. That is why pop music is so good. It fits within the confines of our own lives. Jon knows this and so does the band. They are just sticking around as long as they are allowed. It's a machine.

And Cobaine knew he would fade away like any fad as fast as most bands and he couldn't handle the life he got into so he made himself a grunge martyr. Good for him. But he only squeezed out a few more years or remembrance and silly conspiracy theories.

So the moral of the story is, Jon should kill Richie and then turn the axe on himself.

Wahoo
