Sharpen your pencils, olds: we’re going deep.
When I got back to Ohio (school), I got a copy of Slanted and Enchanted at the Springfield, Ohio ‘Mall’ (the only other thing I ever bought there was Cripsin Glover’s book Rat Catching — it was a pretty good mall, all things considered). The last (only?) time I saw Pavement was at the Masquerade in Atlanta in 1993. Got up the next morning in search of tacos to cure a hangover — while cruising the Virginia Highlands (no, not like that), news of Kurt Cobain’s suicide came on the radio.
Kurt Cobain died in 1994.
