Its been more than a decade since the Grunge God closed his eyes for eternity, and truly! God has his mysterious ways . Even today his lyrics (or anthems as we call it) touch the heart of millions, is vouched by the recent VH1 poll for the "Favourite Lyric". What more, this is the verdict of 13000 music lovers from UK, the land which has offlate prided itself of producing some of their own newage/ pop/rock acts( Coldplay, Embrace, Arctic monkeys to name a few)
Nirvana's "Smells like Teen Spirit" ranks third in poll, after U2's "One" and The Smith's "How soon is now". The ever starving grunge fans like me were injected with a fleeting dose of happiness just to know that the world still remembers Kurt Cobain's anthem masterpiece, long after his demise.
Since the mid nineties, The Rock world has witnessed plenty of one-song wonders, and where, shelf life of a rockstar has reduced to his lowest, and also where the critics & fans have written off musicians overnight!
Amidst all these the Grunge God survives.. for his true followers, his cult, worship him relentlessly and will never lose sight of his words.
