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 :/

Before I start talking dirty, guess what happened---I hit 200 followers!   My 200th follower is Tony VanHelsing (who I'm going to assume is a descendent of you-know-who, and if anyone knows differently do not tell me).  To celebrate this milestone, how about I put Three Daves on sale for only 99 cents in Nook , eBook, ePub , and even Kindle until September 30th. ;) For today's feature post, visit Irish beauty Carol Oates .  This talented author and I discuss Adult versus Young Adult and where the line gets crossed.

Lexa & Julie's Dream Destinations Blog Hop & #Giveaway

We're celebrating the release of Julie Flanders' The Ghosts of Aquinnah   and Lexa Cain's  Soul Cutter   with a Dreams Destinations blog hop. Aaand Lexa & Julie are hosting a great GIVEAWAY.  Visit either Lexa's blog or Julie's blog to enter and also to find the Linky list so you can travel to more dream destinations. It was unbelievably difficult for me to settle on just one place. I decided to make it somewhere I'd never been before...and then I decided to stop over thinking and just pick a place already...and I landed at Piazza San Marco in Venezia, or as we call it for some reason, Venice. (Does anyone know why we don't all call it Venezia?) I would stroll the square, sidestepping pigeons and saying buongiorno to people whose eyes met mine, not worrying about my sorry accent. I would have tickets for that evening's opera in my pocket and a caffe-flavored gelato in my hand. I'd be wearing a darling scarf I'd just purchased, arr...

Top 10 Movie Countdown Blogfest

Yay, today's the day for another of Alex. J. Cavannaugh's famous blogfests. I'd like to thank him not only for hosting, but for keeping it simple & fun---coming up with this list and looking at posters of my most favorite movies turned out to be quite a cathartic exercise. I hope you found it to be the same (assuming you were in need of catharting). Thanks, Big Al. These are in the order of my affection for them: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl 2. Raiders of the Lost Ark 3. Star Wars: A New Hope 4. When Harry Met Sally 5. Return of the Jedi 6. The Empire Strikes Back 7. Toy Story 8. Mystic Pizza 9. Goodfellas 10. Jaws  I'm allowing myself two more because I think it was really good of me to count the original Star Wars Trilogy as three separate entries: 11. Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring 12. Pirates of the Caribbean: D...
