I think the narrator is just reading the June '94 issue of Rolling Stone. Commenting on the articles, the photos (a prom dress and a sneer), and Kurt Cobain (Gee, it's good to see a dream come true...).
@Rachle I have always thought that verse was a reference to Kurt Cobain. The line, "a legend's not a legend 'til it ends," strikes me as a commentary on his death in 1994 — a couple of years before Shawn Colvin released A Few Small Repairs — as he attained the status of legend within months (or in some circles, hours) after he died.
