Gallagher vs. Cobain

This struck me as funny.

And...kinda true.

Noel Gallagher of Oasis, while a fan of Nirvana, wrote music that refuted the pessimistic nature of grunge. Gallagher noted in 2006 that the 1994 Oasis single "Live Forever":

 "was written in the middle of grunge and all that, and I remember Nirvana had a tune called 'I Hate Myself and I Want to Die,' and I was like . . . 'Well, I'm not fucking having that.' As much as I fucking like him [Cobain] and all that shit, I'm not having that. I can't have people like that coming over here, on smack, fucking saying that they hate themselves and they wanna die. That's fucking rubbish."

(from the Wikipedia entry for "Grunge Music")

I don't like mopey people, either, though I do like Nirvana.

Just, you know, keep shit in perspective.
