As unmoved by the tenth anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death as I was by the event itself. Although not quite like some friends who said "Kurt who?"
The only Nirvana fan I knew at the time is now 24, although possibly my brother and his friends, now 29 had a passing interest (they were more into the Madchester bands, and REM, and Saw Doctors).
So the analogy between KC's death and that of JFK for thirty-somethings is the fact that both events failed to make any impression.
Besides, what is the connection between the cold-blooded murder of a democratically elected president who symbolised hope and progress (despite whatever faults have subsequently been uncovered) and the solipsistic drug-enduced suicide of a modestly talented, moderately successful musician, who would be quite forgotten now if he were still alive?
