MOURNING KURT ‘Sleeps With Angels’ Neil Young ‘She wasn’t perfect/She had some trips of her own/He wasn’t worried/At least he wasn’t alone. . . He sleeps with angels too soon.’ ‘Bullet With Butterfly Wings’ The Smashing Pumpkins ‘Now I’m naked, nothing but an animal/ But can you fake it for just one more show? . . . Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage/And I still believe that I cannot be saved.’ ‘Let Me In’ R.E.M. ‘He gathered up his loved ones/And he brought them all around to say goodbye, nice try/Hey, let me in.’ ‘I’m Still Remembering’ The Cranberries ‘What of Kurt Cobain?/Will his presence still remain?/Remember JFK, ever saintly in a way/Where are you now?/Where are you now?’
TRASHING COURTNEY ‘Professional Widow’ Tori Amos ‘Don’t blow those brains yet/We gotta be big, boy/We gotta be big/Starf–er just like my Daddy.’ ‘I’ll Stick Around’ Foo Fighters ‘How could it be/I’m the only one who sees/Your rehearsed insanity?’ ‘Into Yer Shtik’ Mudhoney ‘Why don’t you blow your brains out, too/ You’re so into your shtik/You’re. . .surrounded by scum-sucking leeches/Who will shovel your s—, sweep your dirt, feed your ego/They never tell you no/All of you make me sick.’ ‘Bruise Violet’ Babes in Toyland ‘You f—ing bitch/I hope your insides rot/Liar, liar, liar.’
