That's stupid. If the band liked it, the fans should too. Why would they take offense to it if the band doesn't?SuperOy @ Apr 21 2004, 09:03 PM wrote: Can you believe some hardcore Nirvana fans take major offense to "Smells Like Nirvana?" They it insults the band, but the funny thing is Nirvana liked it. Oh well, some people get it, some don't, I guess.
Oh by the way, I've cracked the code.

If musicians felt as reverential toward their own work as their hardcore fans did, it would be a very unhealthy thing for the musicians. I'm glad Nirvana was able to laugh at themselves. If Kurt had been able to laugh a little more, maybe he'd still be around.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

I don't even want to know. I hope he doesn't know, and won't find out for a while. I am still furious about this.weird_el @ Apr 22 2004, 02:41 AM wrote: on a tangent... I wonder how Al feels about that Onion article??
Right now is the only multiple-day time off from touring Al has had since his parents died, which means that this is probably when the funeral is being held. I don't think Al is likely to find anything at all humorous about burying his father and mother.
And when I re-read this quote from Al:
it seemed as though whoever wrote that Onion article decided to take the exact example Al gave of something too painful to use as a joke-- and use it as a joke. I just can't understand anyone trying so hard to be "edgy" that they were willing to indulge in this piece of cruelty."You use your common sense," Yankovic explained. "{Elton John's} "Candle in the Wind" would probably be a good example of a song you wouldn't want to make fun of. Or {a song by} an artist who recently went through a personal tragedy, like "Tears from Heaven" {which Eric Clapton recorded after his son's accidental death).
