My instant reaction on hearing this song was to assume it was about Kurt. But being a keen Nirvana and Kurt fan I am likely to link it with Kurt. Having said that I only did link it because of the lines in the song seemed to fit in with Kurt/Nirvana days. Like the "swinging from the chandielers" line. However after thinking about it I did wonder, if the song is about Kurt, why would the othe band members want to produce and release a song about him? Kurt was and still is important to Dave but Kurt is irrelevant to the rest of the group and shouldn't have any bearing on the songs. But who knows. Maybe Dave himself doesn't even know. That's the beauty of songs and lyrics you can make them what you want. Not all songs have a specific meaning. Like poems, they have a different meaning to all who read them no right or wrong answer.
However I would like to point out something (I apologize for the side-tracking. I recognise this is off topic of the meaning of this song but I would just like to point it out) regaurding what another memeber posted way back in June or July time I think about "Dave doesnt sit around moping about Kurt wondering how he died" or something to that effect. In the special edition of Q magazine on the history of grunge there was an interview or an extract from an interview with Dave where it said and I quote "I have dreams about Kurt all the time. He shows up and I'm like: Holy shit! You're not dead, and it's like it was some big joke. Then you wake up."
Which to me says it all.
Peace out -x-
