They were. If you don't think they were, you must not have been old enough to see how music changed immediately.

Because despite them being great friends and bandmates, Dave Grohl isn't Kurt Cobain? Grohl's the guy who wrote "Monkeywrench" and "Stacked Actors", he's always been dude-rock.

An aside: I can't f'n stand Courtney Love, but goddamn, Hole has made some music I adore. I wish I was better at separating the music from Love's personality.

Let's add "Cali" to this list.

And yet, when Nirvana performed at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction earlier this year, the honor of filling in for Kurt's vocals went to four women. Namely, Lorde, Kim Gordon, St. Vincent, and Joan Jett, the latter of whom friggin' killed it.

Your "friendly" comment/gesture/conversation does not take precidence (spelling, sorry) over my own perceived safety. And…

UGH THIS. I posted a status on my FB the other day about an incident on a train - one of those moments where nothing violent happens, but your space and privacy is intruded upon and you have to make a split second decision about how you're going to respond because you know FROM FUCKING EXPERIENCE what the possible…

My favorite is when people say, "Well, I don't like bars and clubs. How else am I supposed to meet a woman?!"
