Rush Limbaugh's comments on Cobain
Ron Farley
No, I'm not a Rush Limbaugh fan, can't really stand him, but I
was doing some late night channel surfing last night and his fat
head filled my tube.
I only paused long enough 'cause he mentioned C(K)obain's death.
I really haven't listened to Limbaugh enough to make a fair
judgement, but after his comments, I'll never give him the chance.
He basically said that Kurt was a worthless shred of life (or
something to that effect) and that he finally did his suicide
right by using a shotgun.
OUCH!
I don't worship Kurt/Nirvana, but I do like their music and have
2 of their CD's. What Limbaugh said of Kurt was truly tasteless
and tacky. This would be true said of anyone's death, not just
a rock star who decided to check out. I'm not upset about Kurt's
death so much, I'm just can't believe how moronic someone like
Limbaugh can be. Limbaugh was miffed about how much press Kurt
was getting and how he thought the press was trying to blame the
suicide on the pressures of society on our youth. I don't know
what press Limbaugh has been reading, but I think he is reading
too much into it. All I've seen about the event has been on MTV
and they have pretty much focused on Kurt's troubled home life,
not the pressures of society or success.
Maybe Limbaugh was jealous?
I've never written a hate letter to any institution in my life, but
I'm close to writing one to Limbaugh's organization. But of course,
that's probably exactly what he wants.

is that Kurt is not important enough to warrant the time that everyone has already put into his death. He said today that he did not know enought about Kurt
to make any other determinations.

Limbaugh has an internet account. If someone can find it, please post

Or maybe Rush doesn't watch MTV. I know I don't suffer through the
tripe they call news. Seems they tried to milk Cobain's death for
all it was worth. . .

But what should we really expect out a narrow-minded little hate-mon-
ger like Limbaugh? Although I would have wanted Kurt to try and stick
it out, he certainly doesn't deserve the kind of vitriol that a small
man like Limbaugh dishes out.
In the end though, we can take solice in the fact that there is more
meaning in a single verse of K. Cobain's music than in all of the
blather that Limbaugh has put in print to date.

: I'm afraid you took Mr. Limbaugh's comments out of context. What he was
on every newscast in Boston (7:00 & 11:00) Meanwhile, the same day there was
a school bus crash outside of boston in which grammar school children died.
Here's a question:
What would everyone being saying about Cobain had he decided to leave his wife
and daughter with no real income (hole is still pretty small) because he could
not deal with it? I think most people would call him a piece of shit (much as
I do). I don't see the difference between that and his suicide. I also see
no reason why thousands of suicides are never mentioned until one popular
person decides to check out. There was no good reason for him to kill himself.

gh not like him. Always looks like spanky to me. Ciao

He did say Kurt was "human debris" or something like that and that he had
been smoking pot since 9th grade (implying that was the beginning of his
demise). He also smugly said that he had been trying to kill himself for
the last ten years or so and that he had finally succeeded (smile). He
also said that the media's portrayal of Cobain as a spokesman for today's
Generation X folk was totally false and that more and more
youngsters are becoming conservative dildoheads.
It's just surprising that someone so well-known would so quickly (with such
egomaniacism-is that a word?) call someone who had just tragically killed
themself human debris.

Be careful, there are too many bigots who just hate Limbaugh for no good
reason. I don't know, I like both and it's hard. But Limbaugh was very
inappropriate in what he said. If you write him and tell him he's an ugly
fat nazi, you're not only acting like an idiot, but he'll just laugh at
you, like you would deserve. But if you write him something sincere, he *
will* take it seriously, and perhaps even respond to it on the show. He
does the show with his laptop at hand. BTW, if you want him to read any
mail, you *must* do it during the show (9-12 Pacific, 12-3 Eastern) because
his account auto-deletes every so often, he gets so much mail.

any length of time than during that time he was effectively trying to kill
himself. I dont care how good the music he made was or that he left a little
girl behind that would never know her father. The point is that on that day
there were more important things for the news people to spend their time on.
I personally liked Cobain and his music. I did not however like the way he
lived his life or treated himself and those he loved. Rush's comments were
not out of line. I can not find it in my heart to think of someone as much
more than human debris when they take their own life. I can not think of any
reason to try and make him out to be a martyr for the youth of our generation.
He however should be used as an example of the way not to live your life.
My message to all of you would be the same as my message to him would have been
Grow up. Learn to suck up and deal with it. It is never as bad as it seems.
and a million or two other such cliche's.

PLEASE listen to this guy!!! He speaks the truth!! If you just
want to vent to Rush... do it to your TV screen while his show is on.
He will most likely get mail-bombed, and we the Nirvana fans will loose
in the end. He will just take the flames as proof that we are all
drug-adled mindless sheep, unable to think for ourselves. If we want to
not look like fools, we need to not act like one! ;-) THINK, and THINK
again before sending your hate-mail... you won't change is mind, so at
least be lucid and succinct in your message...
Thank you for your time!

limbaugh IRC channel. I've gone on there and made fun of them before
because their conversation was so self-congratulatory and lacked any real
arguments at all.
"feminazis suck" "Yeah, huh huh"
But remember that this would be a waste of your time and also would
involve lowering yourself to an immature level.

Inconsistent of him. Those "free" university accounts are free along
with many thousands $$$ in tuition, typically. And as for gov't
accounts--well, you have to work for the government to get one, which
is paying enough for it, I think!
