In other news, Krist Novoselic is still alive.
In other other news, he apparently doesn't know what "Teen Spirit" is. It seems he took the story behind "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to mean Kathleen Hannah was somehow implying that Kurt Cobain had an odor problem. And as someone who uses Teen Spirit deodorant, shamelessly, I can say this: that stuff works, and it smells nice.
For those who don't know the story, the song title came about when ex-Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hannah wrote "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit" on a wall. Krist claims this somehow involved "cheap red wine," and started talking, in far too great detail, about Kurt's bathing habits.
I don't know why she wrote it, but I know for sure that Kurt Cobain did not have any odor problems. Even though his place was a mess, he took care of his hygiene. This person would soak in the bath night after night only listening to The Beatles.
No mention of what bath products Kurt used while extensively bathing to The Beatles, but since the band never released a song "Smells Like Mr. Bubble," I'm guessing it wasn't that. "Scentless Apprentice" makes me think perhaps he just used plain water, the thought of him using "Bleach" scares me, and I really don't want to know the significance of "Territorial Pissings."
And let's be honest: why was Krist even discussing this? Seeing as the man has been dead for over a decade, chances are nobody wants to think all that much about how he smells....
