Kurt Cobain proves my point

<Can you even think clearly enough to see how idiotic this is?>

That question is rhetorical, right?

You're analyzing fuck-all.

You're using Kurt as a dead meat puppet for your usual spew about weal liberals.

Either you're extremely dense, on a sense-occluding subtance, the total asshole you present or taking a piss on everyone here for your own necrophilically bizarre reasons.

<... Kurt Cobain's private musings in his own PRIVATE diary make him into a 'typical leftie' ...>

>>a. Why would my analyzation that Cobain would be on the left (based on his own writings) offend you if you were proud of being on the left?<<

Your analyzation that Kurt Cobain would be on the left does not offend me Seth, but your processes of logic and analysis do.

Firstly, you live in a tiny, tiny world where you have to pigeonhole people either into the category of 'Correct Conservative' or 'Looney Liberal'. Not everyone fits into these neatly contrived stereotypical categories. I feel badly for using someone from Tribe as an example, but Ron for example has pointed out that he considers himself to be a moderate. On some issues he agrees with the Republicans, and on others he agrees with the Democrats. During an election he might vote for an independent candidate.

There are other countries besides the United States Seth, and to my knowledge the United States is the only Democratic party that has only two parties, unless you want to go back to the Ancient Roman Empire with their 'Optimus' party (Republicans), and their 'Populus' party (The Democrats).

Canada for one has FIVE major political parties, and each one of them is to the LEFT of the Democratic party.

Consider also the SOCIALIST state of Israel Seth. Notice how there are more than TWO political parties in ISRAEL? How many of these are left wing, how many are right wing? Ever wonder why all of these parties don't just form into two big 'super parties' of left and right?

Israel also happen to have a proportional system of representation, meaning that two different political parties will often have to form a coalition government. This is far more democratic than the 'First Past the post' system that is used in the United States and Canada.

All we ever hear from you Seth, is 'Left, right, Left, right, Left, Right, Left'.

You'd think we were all at boot camp being trained to go off to fight a corporate war in Iraq...perhaps to 'liberate' these 'terrorists' that you like so much. I think even a Drill Sergeant would realize though that you need BOTH the LEFT and the RIGHT in order to march into battle. One foot is not considered too 'weak' to use.

Were you the kid in school that insisted that all the triangles should go into the square hole, because only the 'weak' shapes such as circles belonged in the round holes?

How would you classify Jesus Christ, as a leftie or a rightie? How about Mohatmas K. Gandhi? Lefty or righty? Where do you think that Adolph Hitler fit on the political spectrum? I will tell you....Hitler was EXTREME RIGHT and EXTREME CONSERVATIVE, just as Benito Mussolini was. Hitler was opposed to Communism and Labor Unions and supported Free Enterprise and Corporations. Was Hitler a 'typical' conservative?

Also, just as people do with Jesus Christ and the bible, you are taking what Kurt Cobain said in his diary and using it out of context...to point out how things he said in his poetic musings and possible brainstorming sessions were the admissions of weakness of someone WHOM YOU have determined is a 'typical leftie'.

I wonder what would happen if someone started sorting through your trash Seth, or perhaps read something you had written down in your Diary or somewhere that you never expected to have anyone read it? Admissions of fear, guilt, or personal failure? What would future generations think? Don't you ever scribble down random thoughts or jot down words or phrases for the lyrics of a song you might be writing? I wonder how someone hostile to you or merely unsympathetic might be able to twist the meaning of your words around against you?

How would you classify Jim Morrison I wonder? Typical lefty? Have you ever read Jim Morrison's autobiography 'No one here gets out alive?' In his song 'This is the End', Jim Morrison mentions a lyric with Oedipal references "Father I want to kill you, Mother I want to fuck you.' Shocking perhaps, but nothing that Sigmund Freud (lefty?) didn't say a hundred years ago and the Ancient Greeks didn't mention a thousand years ago. Do you think that perhaps Jim Morrison as 'the Typical lefty' had incestuous fantasies? Maybe it isn't just the typical lefties that do this, but American poets in general. After all, Jim Morrison did admit to being an American poet.

Well Seth, if Kurt Cobain is a 'typical leftie', then the 'typical leftie' is a better songwriter and poet than you could ever hope to be. Ever wonder where songs of substance and depth come from Seth? From introspection and honest reflection of your inner being. Your human self. Until you try this every creative work that you ever attempt will be shallow, tawdry, one-dimensional fluff.

Also, if you play 'Helter Skelter' by the Beatles backwards, there is a special message just for Seth Swirksy, well...Seth and Charlie Manson...you know, Charlie Manson the 'typical' Beatles fan.

>>b. Edgar Allen Poe has been dead for 150 years: are we not allowed to analyze his writing to glean more from his infuential works? People write books on influential people's diaries all the time (by the way, Cobains "private" diaries were published as a book by his wife and excerpts were reprinted in Newsweek --it's completely fair game and you know it).

Sure, you can analyze Kurt Cobain's writings all you want...but you DID mention that you were doing so in order to glean more from his influential works. This seems to be a contradiction from what you were saying earlier, highlighting the fact that someone who we clearly know was a troubled genius who suffered from Chronic Depression had (Surprise!) moments of self-doubt and even self-loathing. I think that Kurt Cobain could look at himself honestly, Seth...and that was the source not only of his pain, but also of his creative genius. He was not afraid to show himself as weak, and having self- doubt.

KURT COBAIN ABOUT A SON
Film Synopsis
by Philadelphia Film Festival

Intimate recordings of Kurt Cobain reflecting on his life are paired with striking shots of the musician's stomping grounds around Seattle to form a complex portrait of one of America's most notorious Gen Xers.

If you are looking for a Nirvana concert movie, this isn't it. There is no Nirvana music in this documentary, but this thoughtful, somewhat experimental film provides an unprecedented view into the psyche of one of the world's most enigmatic musicians. Using recordings made of Cobain during the last years of his life, AJ Schnack manages to use the artist's own words to paint a moving portrait of a tortured, idealistic soul whose dreams came true only to destroy him. It's strangely moving to hear a dead man talk about his life. Cobain doesn't hold back, opening up about his chronic depression, poor health, debilitating insecurities, creative passion and his desires and disappointments. His musings are set against gorgeously filmed images of everyday life in the Pacific Northwest. This nonlinear visual poem perfectly compliments the narrative of Cobain's life, from its inauspicious beginning to its final chapter a few months before his death. Dying young has added a mythic quality to Cobain's life. This ethereal film breaks the documentary mold, and we can only assume Cobain (a true iconoclast) would have wanted it that way.

Hey Seth go watch the film about a man that has more talent dead then you ever will amass alive. So whats your reason from coming back? As the tibe went on without you, you clearly cannot without the tribe. LMAO

This is stupid Seth, there are depressed and suicidal people along all fronts of the political spectrum. One could find an example for anything........ a rightie that murders.......because he is against abortion for example. Your only goal is to slime the other side, you have no real dialogue in you.
