#1012. Lineage of Song: “The Man Who Sold the World”

 

David Bowie

Nirvana

I’m actually not much of a Bowie fan. I appreciate how large he looms for a lot of other people. The same, kind of, for Kurt Cobain. The rock industry put so much into Nirvana, once Cobain was dead, it had to postulate the myth that rock itself was dead. Which eventually, although it took longer than popular perception suggests, turned out to be true. So to see them echoing each other is kind of poetic.
