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.
