Death comes for us all (a melodramatic haiku of retirement)
Alas! this blog is
no longer where it is at.
Onwards! (Back to home.)



guts and garters

Someone once told me that included somewhere in Kurt Cobain's suicide note was the phrase: "It's better to burn out than to fade away." This vaguely bothered me, nibbling away at the back of consciousness until I suddenly realised where I'd heard it before. Highlander - the movie, NOT the series - when the Kurgan and Campbell are talking in a church, and as the Kurgan leaves the church, he shouts out: "It's better to burn out than to fade away!" Interesting, considering the respective dates. Quotation or merely echoing sentiment without knowledge of plagiarisation? Answers on the back of a postcard.
