Cover art for I Should Have Known lyrics by Foo Fighters

It's got to be kind of annoying being Dave Grohl, and having every song you write be reduced to a Kurt tribute. When I heard this song though, I couldn't help but feel that he was feeding into that idea. Pretty obvious parallels in the lyrics even he can't deny

@Marauder2IIC Well you're not wrong, this is one of the rare songs that actually has references to Nirvana and Kurt, Butch Vig said it himself in the Back and Forth documentary.
