but I think my primary reason for not being into has to do with one hideous visual cliche that I’ve grown very, very sick of over the years.
Whenever you see ANY retrospective on Kurt Cobain’s death on a screen–be it in a documentary, or anything else, you are groan-inducingly GUARANTEED to see one bit of footage: Cobain mumbling the sad ending to the Unplugged version of “All Apologies.” Where he’s murmuring “all in all, is all we are” and he gets that pensive, introspective look on his face, like he just knows he’s about to be dead very soon.
I swear on Chuck Norris’ grave, I have NEVER not seen this whenever Kurt Cobain’s death is revisited in any video format.
The second most likely bit of footage you’re going to see is Kurt Loder breaking the news on MTV.

I’ve only sat through the whole thing two or three times, but before I ever did, a person I used to talk to online who did not like Nirvana very much said that the Meat Puppets songs and “The Man Who Sold The World” were far better Unplugged than any of Cobain’s own compositions. That sort of struck me as true when I watched them. I do like “Lake Of Fire” and “Man Who Sold The World” best out of all of it.

I also probably need to see Nirvana’s live electric material more than just listen to it, with the destruction of their equipment and all that slop. “True Grunge” and all. I like when they pop up in 1991: The Year Punk Broke, which wasn’t really a great documentary otherwise.
