| It's not directly about Kurt Cobain, it's about Seattle and the surrounding areas in the early 90s. The beginnings of "grunge" were more than just Nirvana, and Wozniak was a part of that scene. He actually shared rehersal space with Cobain for a while though. | |

| Also! The end of the song is not the real end. The song was cut off during recording and they liked it, so they left it that way. I've been a hard-core, very involved fan of Marcy for years, and in all that time I have never heard the full ending, nor has anyone else I know. | |

| hmmm i hate to be the guy who disagrees but i really cant see how this is about kurt. i mean the line about a "tribe", and kurt singing that lyric once on a live tv show - thats not really very convincing. but maybe im wrong. either way its a great song - the chorus is so simple and clever and awesome. actually come to think of it reminds me of kurts music writing cos of the simple lower-string bar chords and repeated one-word choruses. | |
