That's the lesson I've learned" -Kurt

records..the video shows a buncha kids trashing a gymnasium!" and I mean
..that sorta works like uh, "Nirvana! Spokesmen of the lost generation!
They're telling you to go out and destroy your local gymnasium!" I don't
really, I don't see it that way, I mean, like, I don't want to hold a
responsibility of being a spokesman for anything! I can barely hold my own! I
guess it's flattering, and I guess it's great that it acts like sorta, gives
people a feeling of sorta like breaking out, and telling um, anyone and
anything just to fuck off!" -Dave

know it won't happen"-Kurt

like the only Nirvana song and that's upsetting"-Kris and Dave
"I'm a spokesman for myself. It just so happens that there's a bunch of
