Ten Years Gone

While I was away I neglected to mark the 10-year anniversary of the passing of Kurt Cobain; the man was a genius who ushered in an important era of great music, and he is still missed to this day. At least the anniversary served, for a day or two, to pull the media spotlight away from his psychotic wife.

This week also marks the ten-year anniversary of the start of the Rwanda genocide, while later this month will mark a decade since the passing of Richard Nixon. Funny, I don’t remember all this stuff happening at the same time… but with all that, plus the canceled World Series, the Gingrich takeover of Congress, and “Pulp Fiction” losing Best Picture, ’94 was just one damn calamity after another, wasn’t it?
