I understand that the song was a tribute to Kurt Cobain, but I wonder if the "100...600 found dead and I am numb from watching TV" verse had something to do with the 1994 Rwanda tragedy. Shortly after Kurt Cobain died and ten years before the ongoing crisis in Darfur, there was massive, somewhat mind-numbing TV coverage of a horrible civil war in Rwanda in which nearly a million innocent civilians were hatefully killed in cold blood. I was just pointing that out and, if that verse was commentary on the Rwanda's infamous spotlight or not, I want to see if anyone has an answer.
