for the third time in less than a week i heard someone compare kurt cobain to john lennon.

this is my written argument on the issue.

first we will compare deaths.

john lennon was assasinated.
kurt cobain shot himself in the face with a 12 gauge shotgun with three times the lethal dose of heroin in his system.

slight nod to john lennon.

second comparison...

john lennon was in the beatles.
kurt cobain was in Nirvana.

again, a sarcastically slight nod to John Lennon.

thirdly,

john lennon married yoko ono.
kurt cobain married courtney love.

we'll call this one a toss up..

fourthly,

john lennon wrote "Revolution", "Imagine", and "Give Peace a Chance"
kurt cobain wrote "Smells like Teen Spirit" and "Rape Me"

i will use the phrase obviously self-explanatory for this one.

this concludes my comparison.

i hope this helps you people.

i feel stupid and contagious,

scott
