N: Nirvana *90's Pop Culture Favorites* #AtoZchallenge

No 90's pop culture list would be complete without Nirvana. And I still dig 'em. Can't really explain why; I just do. I'm glad Dave Grohl has gone on to make more great music with the Foo Fighters. Too bad Kurty Boy didn't handle the good fortune he was blessed with better. I would love hear the wonderful new things he would've written and performed.

We still love them because they were magical. I know that sounds silly, but they had so much talent and so much emotion and so much to say - and that's so clear in their music that it just lasts and lasts. I love Dave Grohl, too :)

Sadly Kurt was a messed up dude.
Grohl has gone on to do music with so many bands now.

Not a big fan of 90's music but this was one bright spot.

My best friend lived in Seattle at the time. She was coming home from work and passed the line of cars going to Kurt's funeral and said it was huge.

I've never really been into modern music, but I've always liked Nirvana. They were such a quintessential, classic early Nineties band.

I never listened to this band much but I know of them and their sound I know was distinct enough that even someone such as I could guess who they were by listening to part of the song. :)

90's pop culture! I love your theme! I was never a big Nirvana fan--in fact, I was barely aware of them until Kurt Cobain's death.

Visiting you from the A to Z challenge sign-up page. Great to meet you!

Loved their music...

I still can't believe our own 80's guru is featuring 90's music....

SHOCKING! LOL.

There was so much great music from the 90's. I still listen to my 90's playlist all the time, but you're right it's not complete without Nirvana. :)

I've always been a big Nirvana fan (and one of my hs bff's was obsessed) I'll never forget the day Kurt Cobain died. He was our Jim Morrison, or John Lennon. Music hasn't been the same without him, though it is great to see Dave Grohl have so much success with Foo Fighters.

The fact that Nirvana is already eligible for the Rock & Roll HOF makes me feel old. The fact that they were inducted and I missed it because I was watching Nick Jr. with my little girls makes me feel even older :/

Back FROM the Future, Bloghop Extraordinaire

Image
Just when I was in dire need of something to break me out of my funk and get revved up for the new year, along come Suze and M.Pax  with an invitation to co-host a most excellent bloghop adventure!  Enough looking back upon the past that was 2012, we're jumping forward to 2023. Your adventure instructions are here: You're up before dawn on a Saturday when the doorbell rings. You haven't brewed your coffee so you wonder if you imagined the sound. Plonking t he half-filled carafe in the sink, you go to the front door and cautiously swing it open. No one there. As you cast your eyes to the ground, you see a parcel addressed to you ... from you. You scoop it up and haul it inside, sensing something legitimate despite the extreme oddness of the situation. Carefully, you pry it open. Inside is a shoebox -- sent from ten years in the ...

July #IWSG

Image
Welcome to July, everybody! Sorry I missed last month. I was out in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee with a bunch of my family. It was so much fun. This was the view from our cabin (that's Gatlinburg down below): I'm making up for my absence last month by co-hosting the IWSG this month! Looking forward to visiting bunches of blogs over the next few days. Get ready for #IWSGPit! On July 19, you'll have the opportunity to pitch your completed and polished manuscript on Twitter. If your pitch receives a favorite/heart from a publisher/agent, that means they've requested a query! See all the details and rules at the IWSG website . Now, on to the  IWSG Optional Question: What are your ultimate writing goals, and how have they changed over time? Goals? What are goals? Just kidding! I've heard of them; I'm just not great about setting them. But I guess my goal when I first started writing was to have fun with it, and that hasn't changed. After...

Genre Favorites Blogfest

Welcome to the Genre Favorites Blogfest , hosted by the illustrious AJC .  Today we're going to fess up to our favorite genre in 3 categories plus a guilty pleasure.  Here are mine: Movies My gut answer is classic Romantic Comedy,  like When Harry Met Sally , Four Weddings and a Funeral , and Notting Hill . But if we consult my favorite movies ever: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pirates of the Caribbean (all of them), and Star Wars IV,V & VI , we can't ignore my thirst for Adventure .   Music Come on, who are you talking to here?  The answer to that would be 80s Alternative , like the Cure, Madness, INXS, The Clash, REM, etc, etc. etc, though I'm liking lots of current alternative bands as well, like Stone Sour, Hollywood Undead and Egypt Central Books Fantasy , with The Hobbit , all the Harry Potters, and  The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe  being among my all time favorites. But I'm also a sucker for a Classic Rom...
