Bullcrap!!!! The "hair bands" were going away one way or another. Nirvana just happened to come along at the right time. I will give Kurt Cobain credit for one thing, he was a big Smithereens fan.
Smithereens BUMP.
I will give Kurt Cobain credit for one thing, he was a big Smithereens fan.Give him credit for taking a trio of dirtbags to the top of the charts and giving "The King of Pop" a richly deserved kick in the ass. I don't remember the name of the critic that said it, but to paraphrase, some emotions are best expressed with an untutored scream and a shrieking guitar.
