    General CommentThe path of time is the transition of heaven into hell, heaven at the begininghell at the end... this is why the "I" was invented" to stand betwen and connect them... remember?? back in the garden? sheesh... that was the deal wasn't it??

    I'm not really the bringer of light... I just play One in the world of darkness

    General Commentim not quite sure, but i think this may have been about contemplating suicide. it was performed in new york 09/28/91 (thnx 4xeno) which was just b4 nirvana got big. he was really depressed then, and drugs were really screwin him up. gettin big pulled him outta that vicious circle, for a little while.

    General CommentTalk to me - did Bleach really get much publicity? I wasn't around at the time, I was born in the year it was released, but I didn't think Sub-Pop had nearly enough money to promote Nirvana as a big act.
