of punk rockers and nirvana

okay so this song, 'someday' by flipper was mentioned earlier on this blog, however, the benji has just learnt that nirvana bass player, croat, krist novoselik, actually has been playing for flipper for a few years lately...surprisingly, 'flipper' has been around in some shape or form since the late 1970s.... don't know much about it except bought some obscure compilation album during a shut in phase on my life in 2002 and was impressed by the someday song

this punk/heavy metal song is far more superior though:

cannot be said to be a fan of either above-mentioned bands, however those are pretty good songs for their genre.... this fear factory song also brings to mind german group 'rammstein' which has a similar sound

so i learnt a little about nirvana's bass player, his birthday is the same as mine: may 16...... i also learnt that cobain's daughter is being hounded by a crazy and dangerous stalker who is currently locked up in a psychiatric ward but actually presents a clear and present danger to her welfare, a judge in los angeles just found the stalker mentally unfit to attend trial and postponed the trial - that girl needs to hire a private security guard before that guy gets out of hospital!...... i also read cobain's suicide note..... i understand that immediate success like nirvana had with nevermind might have been somewhat overwhelming for cobain however, and now i'm just writing as someone who has seen 2 suicides in his own family and also as a fan of nirvana's music, reading his suicide note, and at least he was decent enough to leave one, i don't want to judge him, it seems he thought he couldn't turn his life around and get off the drugs, especially heroine....... he says in his suicide note he was scared at the idea of his daughter (now 20) turning out like him so it seems he didn't think he was gonna reform himself much like a lot of old rockers do these days..... his death, seeing that he had a daughter to take care of, seems alot more shocking for that reason than say jim morrison's or jimi hendrix's who had no children.......

musically we are not big fans of hole's courtney love (cobain's mate) however there are probably at least 9 good hole songs which isn't bad

grohl has gone on to record some pretty good songs after nirvana, benji highly approves of 'the pretender' song which is probably grohl's best song outside of nirvana..... benji has listened to all of nirvana's albums, many times

tried to find some henry rollin's band song that my now deceased sister once saw and surprised me by remarking that she thought rollins was hot -- she never did seem to find punk rockers and punk types very attractive --

love appears on april 4th, about 6 weeks ago on 'the view' -- it's to publicize some shit and to sell some shit, this is the only reason every douchebag appears on every tv show: visit the atm, smile and nod, get cash out......... if you were waiting for love to ask walters if there's a heartbeat attached to her dildo, don't hold your breath.... in fact, nobody asks her this which is baffling.....  in other news, it seems love and grohl are engaged in some kind of legal stouche over cobain's considerable estate.... 37% percent of which has already been willed to his daughter, frances bean.... 

just did some reading about Love's erratic kookiness.... she reminds me a little of a new yorker from nassau county that i first knew when we were both 16 years old and who have both remained friends since then..... although my friend, an actress, was not as destructive as Love, whatever that means... ha ha... my buddy's father was a nascar mechanic or something like that, so maybe nascar isn't so bad after all

anyway, looking at the shenanigans of all of these rockers aforementioned, has been an entertaining intellectual journey for benji since yesterday, but now it's time to go to work again soon, won't be having any fox news til late august after trip back from spain.....
