Unask the Question

[create_destiny]

A friend of mine in Buffalo wrote to me recently, lamenting Cobain's demise. I lamented back. Told him I haven't listened to any Nirvana since 1994. Then a few hours later I'm channel surfing and I stop on Nirvana's "Unplugged in New York." I keep it there. The Boyfriend hears this and asks me from the next room, "Do you still like Nirvana?" And......I can't answer that question with a simple "yes" or "no." I launch into a diatribe about Kurt, the spirit of this age, meat-eating orchids, absurdity and surrealism in art and half way into this I'm shaking and crying. That's not a question that can be answered with a simple yes or no.

Tori Amos singing Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
This haunts me.

But isn't it a simple question? I mean, that's a Yes. Always a Yes. If you have any doubts, get in your car and play Aneurysm as loud as possible.

It's a deep yes, man and there's no word for that.

Except for maybe fuckin' a. But that's a word and a letter. So clearly THERE IS NO ANSWER!

I think they word for "deep yes" is to drop a slow, 2 syllable "du-ude"
