Wild Pink has a new album dropping this week, A Billion Little Lights. The new release follows up the beloved 2018 effort Yolk In The Fur and the group has shared some tantalizing previews of the forthcoming project. Now, just days ahead of the album, they have offered one more preview: On “Pacific City,” John Ross’ hushed vocals complement the driving, heartland-inspired instrumental that’s a natural progression from the album that came before it.
Ross says of the track:
“Pacific City is named after the city in Oregon and I was watching Heat a lot while writing it. I wanted to write a few songs with a conventional song structure on this album and this was one of them — we spent a lot of time on the drum tones and used a Yamaha RX21 drum machine. The song is about time passing and realizing you’re not the same person you used to be.”
Ross also recently spoke with Uproxx about the album and said of it, “I wanted to have something very lush and just bigger than anything that I’d done before. And I got to play with amazing players, that was my favorite part.”
Listen to “Pacific City” above.
A Billion Little Lights is out 2/19 via Royal Mountain Records. Pre-order it here.
D’arcy Carden, who played both Janet and Bad Janet on The Good Place, in addition to Natalie on Barry, appeared on this week’s episode of Justin Long’s podcast, Life Is Short. On the podcast, she spoke about her years working as the nanny for Bill Hader, and also revealed that, though she was born “Darcy,” she was inspired to change her name to “D’Arcy” by the bassist for the Smashing Pumpkins (D’arcy Wretzky).
On Justin’s request, Carden also shared a terrific story about Harry Styles that she told a couple of years ago on Conan. On the podcast, however, she had more than three minutes to tell it, didn’t also have to promote a project, and had a delightful post-script.
For context: D’Arcy Carden is a huge non-ironic fan of One Direction and Harry Styles, and has been “obsessed” with them since their first appearance on Saturday Night Live in 2012. She’d also seen them in concert around 9 times, and she always went and saw them on SNL when they appeared (her husband works there). In fact, to illustrate what a big fan of Harry Styles and One Direction she is, this tweet is from 2014, long before Carden became a fairly well known comedic actress.
More recently — Carden originally told this story on Conan two years ago — Harry Styles was on James Corden’s show, and Carden was invited by a friend to come and watch from near the stage. Carden jumped at the opportunity.
After he performed, Styles entered the backstage area, where Carden and her sister were hanging out.
“He looks at me,” Carden tells Long, “and his eyes light up. He comes over and gives me a hug. And we’re chatting, and I can’t believe he remembers me. What a great memory! He’s giving all of these really sweet compliments about what a good job I have been doing, and I think, ‘Oh my god, he watches The Good Place,’ which is so nice of him. He’s so nice, and he’s so polite.”
After that, Styles moved along and began talking to other people. Later in the evening, however, the stage manager quiets down the entire room, and Harry looks over at Carden again and says, ‘What are you guys talking about?’”
“Nothing,” Carden sassily says, as though they are friends now. “Mind your own beeswax!”
And then, Harry Styles looks around the entire green room and teasingly makes an announcement. He says, “Everybody, Sue won’t stop talking about the promotion she got. Give it up for Sue! She’s doing so good!”
“When he says, ‘big promotion,’” Carden continues, “my heart drops. I’m like, ‘Please, get me out of here.’ [My sister] grabs my leg, and we both go [under our breath], ‘Oh nooo. Fuuuuuuuuu*k.’”
Carden very quickly realizes that Styles thinks she’s someone else, someone named Sue who recently got a promotion. Carden had no idea how to respond. Does she tell him that he’s confused her for someone else? Does she run away? What happens, however, is that she ends up talking to him three or four more times that night, never corrects him, and continues to let him believe that she is “Sue.”
“I just wanted to disappear into a ball of dust on the ground.”
Before the night was over, “he gave me a hug again, and said something like, ‘Good to see you again, Sue!’”
And that was the end of the story, as she relayed to Conan two years ago. However, the post-script is that she’s seen Styles a few times since she originally told that story on Conan. “He’s so sweet, and he’s so hilarious about the whole thing. It’s been cleared up. One of the first times I saw him after telling that story was at a party and he looked at me and said, ‘Hi Sue!’ and I thought, ‘Oh fu*k,” and he said, ‘Just kidding!’”
“He truly is the most wonderful person,” Carden said, completing the story.
Trevor Noah wasted no time tearing into Donald Trump’s second impeachment acquittal as The Daily Show host kicked off Monday’s episode. While addressing the predictable outcome thanks to Republicans in the Senate desperately wanting to hold onto Trump’s supporters if not outright living in fear of them following the Capitol attack (“The GOP base still loves Trump and would turn on anyone who votes against him faster than Buffy fans turned on Joss Whedon,” Noah quipped.), he couldn’t help but notice the very strange celebration coming out of Trump world. Specifically, Eric Trump boasting that his dad is now 2-0, which prompted Noah to make a scathing comparison between the former president and O.J. Simpson.
“Now that’s what I’m talking about: two and oh,” Noah joked. “Obama never even won a single impeachment. Shit’s embarrassing! I mean say what you want, but Trump is the acquittal GOAT. Sorry OJ, you had a good run, but Trump got acquitted twice and he’s responsible for more deaths.”
Noah also made sure to get in a good dunk on the Senate vote, which was 57-43 in favor of convicting, but not enough to clear the two-thirds requirement to fully impeach Trump. “This dude just loves losing the popular vote.”
Despite Trump ducking yet another impeachment, The Wall Street Journal editorial board declared that the former president’s political career is over following the Capitol attack and the damning evidence that he ignored pleas from his own party to stop his supporters. “Mr. Trump may run again, but he won’t win another national election,” the WSJ Editorial Board wrote. “The country is moving past the Trump Presidency, and the GOP will remain in the wilderness until it does too.”
As if Megan Thee Stallion didn’t have enough going on with her booming music career, she has the added pressure of worrying about grades as well. Before becoming one of hip-hop’s favorite hitmakers, Meg was a full-time student in health administration at Texas Southern University and continued her studies as her career took off. However, she’ll soon be able to return her focus to music as she recently revealed that she’s on track to graduate in the fall.
However, that doesn’t mean she won’t have pursuits outside of rap. As she told People last year, “I’m gonna open an assisted-living facility and use the money that I make from rapping to open it. Then I’m gonna let my classmates run it.” In her tweet giving the update on her upcoming graduation — which was addressed to a now-deleted tweet demeaning her for explaining why she’s putting the kibosh on a sequel to her breakout “hot girl summer” — she said that the plans are still in the works for the assisted-living facility.
And bitch this summer we having a savage summer … DO WTF YOU WANNA DO bc they gone talk shit anyway
Meanwhile, Megan celebrated her 26th birthday over the weekend, receiving well-wishes from her mentor/”Savage” rap partner Beyonce and once again showing off the freestyle skills that made her such a star in the first place.
Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
This week in the best new pop music saw some captivating remixes and exciting releases. Dua Lipa returned to share her first new track of the year, Rebecca Black celebrate ten years of her meme-worthy song “Friday,” and Claud released their anticipated debut album.
Dua Lipa may have pulled influences from ’80s disco for her 2020 Future Nostalgia. But with her new single “We’re Good,” she’s dipping her toes into early aughts pop. Over a rolling beat, Lipa gets real with her past partner about deciding it’s time to move on.
Rebecca Black — “Friday (Remix)” Feat Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, 3Oh!3
Feel old yet? It’s been ten years since Rebecca Black released her internet-breaking song “Friday.” While the song didn’t receive positive feedback at the time, the now 23-year-old is reclaiming the single with the help of Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, and 3Oh!3. “I’d had the idea to do this remix of ‘Friday’ for years leading up to now but honestly it was also mildly insane for me to think anyone else would want to be a part of it,” Black said in a statement. “As I started talking about it with other artists and producers I couldn’t believe how stoked people were about it.”
Claud — “Guard Down”
Claud released their highly-anticipated debut album Super Monster this week, which included the shuffling single “Guard Down.” Describing the album in an interview with Uproxx, Claud says it’s “a reminder that to myself and to other people that you’re capable of being loved. If you open yourself up enough and remind yourself that you’re worthy of it, it’s possible and that you deserve it.”
Gabriel Garzón-Montano — “Someone” (Armando Young Remix) Feat. Jamila Woods
Gabriel Garzón-Montano is expanding on his 2020 album Agüita by enlisting a handful of artists to remix his songs. This week, the musician shared an Armando Young remix to his touching track “Someone” with Jamila Woods. Speaking to her decision to hop on the remix, Woods said she’s been a longtime fan of Garzón-Montano’s music: “I’ve been a big fan of Gabriel for a while and it was so fun to re-make this song with him! The lyrics are so visual and vulnerable and the story of the song really resonated with me.”
Sia — “1+1”
Sia made her directorial debut with the controversial and headline-making film Music. The movie just hit theaters this week, which means its accompanying soundtrack, also written by Sia, has been released. While critics may be puzzled over the film itself, songs like “1+1” proves Sia’s talent for songwriting.
Rita Ora — “Big” Feat. Gunna
Rita Ora returned to share her first new music in a year with her collaborative EP Bang. “It was like finding pen pals,” she said about the project. “You had me in London, Imanbek in Kazakhstan, Gunna in Los Angeles, KHEA in Argentina and David Guetta, well, who knows where David is at any one time. It’s a global project that went beyond language and geographical boundaries but somehow stayed lovely and intimate.”
Alaina Castillo — “STFU (I Got U)”
Many were celebrating love on Valentine’s Day this week, but Alaina Castillo was instead busy showcasing the pitfalls of romantic obsession. Armed with a downtempo beat, Castillo sings of playing games with her love interest and feeling insecure as a result.
Biig Piig — “Cuenta Lo”
With a handful of singles and EPs under her belt, Biig Piig continues turning heads with her thumping new track “Cuenta Lo.” About the single, the singer said: “‘Cuenta Lo’ is an alter-ego-driven song about money, sex and power. The video is based around when I used to be a poker dealer, and it’s about the coldness and greediness that money can bring in all industries…including music.”
Gallant — “Relapse”
Gallant brought his ethereal vocals into the new year. This week, the singer dropped the single “Relapse,” which followed his acclaimed 2019 album Sweet Insomnia. The emotionally-charged track offers another preview of his forthcoming project Neptune, which is expected to be released later this year.
Charlotte Cardin — “Meaningless”
With her affecting new single “Meaningless,” Charlotte Cardin officially announces her anticipated debut album Phoenix. “Making this album took two years, because I started the writing process trying to keep control over what I wanted to show,” Cardin said about the album writing process. “It eventually became obvious, though, that I needed to embrace accessing those true impulses for my music (and my life) to make any sense whatsoever. The more I realized certain things about myself in the process, the angrier I got for not understanding them earlier. This conflicting loop of shame versus growth gave birth to ‘Phoenix.’”

Unlike his superhero buddies Iron Man and Black Widow, Captain America lived happily ever after in Avengers: Endgame. He returned the Infinity Stones, as well as Thor’s hammer Mjölnir, to their respective points in the timeline, and instead of immediately returning to the present, he lived a “beautiful” life with Peggy Carter. But how did Cap pull it off? Did he create his own “branch reality,” or did he remain in our timeline? The only thing we know for sure is that Chris Evans is still ridiculously handsome even as an old man. It’s a question that has plagued Marvel fans since the highest-grossing movie ever was released, but directors Joe and Anthony Russo have set the record straight.
“One thing that’s clear that Anthony and I have discussed, I don’t know that we’ve discussed this publicly at all, but Cap would have had to have traveled back to the main timeline,” Joe told the Lights Camera Barstool podcast. “That’s something that, yes, he would have been in a branch reality and have had to have traveled back to the main timeline to give that shield to Sam Wilson.” In other words, Cap and Peggy finally danced to “It’s Been a Long, Long Time” in a branch reality, but he returned to the main timeline to hand his shield (not S.H.I.E.L.D.) to Falcon. Joe added:
“In our internal logic that we defined in the room, that was the choice that we made. Based on everything that happened, he would have been in a branch reality and then had to have shifted over to this, so jumped from one to the other and handed the shield off.”
Phew, I’m glad that’s finally solved… at least until Chris Evans returns to the MCU.
Elon Musk is becoming quite the Clubhouse power user, and he might have just scored his biggest “interview” yet. The Tesla CEO reached out to Vladimir Putin to invite the Russian president to chat on the burgeoning video chat app, and Musk surprisingly got an official response from the Kremlin. Even more surprising, the answer wasn’t “no.” According to Reuters, the Kremlin is intrigued by Musk’s offer, but they have to look into it first because, unlike his close friend Donald Trump, Putin doesn’t do social media.
“In general, this is of course a very interesting proposal, but we need to understand what is meant, what is being proposed… first we need to check, then we will react,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Monday. “We want to figure it out first. President Putin does not personally use social networks directly, he doesn’t have them.”
Musk got the ball rolling on Saturday when he tweeted to whoever controls Putin’s Twitter account, “Would you like [to] join me for a conversation on Clubhouse?” He then added in Russian. “It would be a great honor to speak with you.”
If Musk scores a chat with Putin, it will be his most high profile conversation on Clubhouse yet. In the meantime, Musk claims he’s locked down a chat with Kanye West, which should prove interesting given the two men’s eccentric personalities and growing rumors of West’s pending divorce from Kim Kardashian.
In a way, it almost feels like Musk is positioning himself to be the Joe Rogan of Clubhouse. The Tesla CEO is a noted fan of Rogan and was just on his podcast last week where he revealed his ambitious plans to make his next batch of cars hover. “Maybe it can hover like a meter above the ground, or something like that,” Musk told Rogan. “If you plummet it’ll blow out the suspension but you’re not gonna die.”
Rifle-toting Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert (representing Colorado) has been stirring up a ruckus on Capitol Hill, first by vowing to carry her Glock in the halls of Congress before throwing a hissy fit following the beefing up of metal detector presence after the failed MAGA coup. She was already a controversial figure in her home state, in which she owns a diner called Shooters Grill (actually located in Rifle, Colorado) and has been accused of providing a firearm to a minor staff member. And she’s got a handful of arrests under her belt, according to the Denver Post. And now, Sarah Palin 2.0 believes that she knows who to blame for the rolling blackouts affecting much of the U.S. during this historic ice and snow storm.
The freshman Congresswoman is pointing her trigger pullers at the Green New Deal, a general set of goals that hope to move the globe to net-zero emissions within decades. The “deal” also calls for affordable housing and universal health care, and so much more, like building out smarter power grids, improving transportation emissions in the U.S., and obviously, a whole ton of the deal has yet to be put into effect. Still, Boebert (along with Tucker Carlson, who ranted about the deal) is making it her mission to blame the Left for what’s happening in Texas and beyond.
Boebert isn’t here for the deal and is taking aim at Biden, who hasn’t wholly embraced the New Green Deal and has presented his own plan instead. “Rolling blackouts from ND to TX have turned into lengthy power outages in freezing conditions,” she tweeted. “Biden needs to lift his oil & gas ban as we need reliable energy sources. The Green New Deal was just proven unsustainable as renewables are clearly unreliable.”
Rolling blackouts from ND to TX have turned into lengthy power outages in freezing conditions.
Biden needs to lift his oil & gas ban as we need reliable energy sources.
The Green New Deal was just proven unsustainable as renewables are clearly unreliable.
She wasn’t done yet. “You know how you unfreeze frozen windmills?” she sarcastically inquired. “By sending up a helicopter that shoots out chemicals onto the blades. You need fuel for the helicopter. Keep that in mind when thinking how ‘green’ windmills are.”
You know how you unfreeze frozen windmills?
By sending up a helicopter that shoots out chemicals onto the blades.
You need fuel for the helicopter.
Keep that in mind when thinking how “green” windmills are.
Well, people are throwing this right back at Boebert, especially since Biden’s Interior Secretary hasn’t even been confirmed yet, so perhaps she should be asking what happened during the Trump administration. Also, there’s the issue of how nothing (not even all the fossil fuels in the world, since many power stations are down and/or frozen, despite the presence of oil and gas leases) can stop ice from forming on power lines.
Interior Secretary is not even confirmed yet. Sounds to me like the Trump energy plan was a disaster.
Congratulations, you took a legitimately terrible event that is not political in the slightest and turned it political just so you could get upset at Biden.
BTW, Biden doesn’t support the Green New Deal. He’s said this MULTIPLE times.
Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, now let me get this straight the middle of the country had cold and snow and because power stations are down and causing blackouts… that oil and gas leases would stop the weather… ok have another shot
Well, this debate isn’t going to be settled anytime soon, but one user posted an apparent list of Boebert’s arrests and called that the real “rolling blackout.” Yikes.
One year ago today, myself and a number of other folks gathered (remember doing this?) in an arena (this too?) to watch the 2020 NBA All-Star Game. It was a fun weekend! Derrick Jones Jr. controversially beat Aaron Gordon in the dunk contest, there were really moving tributes to the recently-departed Kobe Bryant and David Stern, the game itself was fantastic thanks to a new format centered around the Elam Ending, I ate these nachos, it was real good.
The weekend took place at the United Center in Chicago, and the league decided to use the event as a chance to celebrate the Windy City. All the stuff you’d expect was involved — tributes to Michael Jordan and his Bulls, a video honoring the city that included a cameo from Barack Obama, etc. One of the many Chicago institutions that was part of the entire ceremony was Common, who as part of his role as pregame master of ceremonies became a meme for his myriad of rhymes about those participating in the game.
With it being the one-year anniversary of that night in Chicago, I have taken it upon myself to look back on these rhymes and rank them. The ranking is based on nothing more than how I felt as they re-entered my brain after one year of not hearing them. Now I’ll do you all a favor, and quell your suspenses, but before we do that, some honorable mentions:
HONORABLE MENTIONS: THE COACHES
HM1: The head coach for Team Giannis, in the All-Stars this is his first, from the defending champion Toronto Raptors, Nick Nurse
HM2: Making his second All-Star appearance, he runs the team like a mogul, from the Los Angeles Lakers, the coach, Frank Vogel
Hard to get too riled up about either of these. Both are fine. The Vogel one is way better. Onward.
COMMON JUST DID THESE TO MOVE ONTO OTHER THINGS
25. A big man with big skills, yes indeed, from the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid
24. We knew he’d be an All-Star from everything he’s shown us, from the Indiana Pacers, Domantas Sabonis
Common is an icon but how are you going with “yes indeed” for the Embiid one? Read, feed, need, plenty of things rhyme with “-iid.” Also, I have faith Common has watched Sabonis because he is a well-documented basketball fan, but if I were making a poem about Domantas Sabonis and I never watched him play basketball, I would vaguely mention how he’s shown us a lot of stuff.
FINE
23. He’s a two-time All-Star, so you know he’ll get it done, from the Milwaukee Bucks, give it up for Khris Middleton
22. From the land down under, he’s always all about winnin’, from the Philadelphia 76ers, y’all give it up for Ben Simmons
21. A 10-time All-Star, he’s a general with the ball, from the Oklahoma City Thunder, the great Chris Paul
20. Here from the champion Toronto Raptors, and you know they did it proudly, six-time All-Star and floor commander, Kyle Lowry
19. This All-Star’s the truth, keeping the defense honest, the reigning Rookie of the Year from the Dallas Mavericks, Luka Doncic
18. 2019 All-Rookie first-team, and he’s only just begun, from the Atlanta Hawks, they call him Ice, we also know him as Trae Young
Some poetic license are taken with some of these, some are merely just fine. I do like to imagine that somewhere, Paul Pierce heard Common call Luka Doncic “the truth” and he filed a complaint with someone. And while the Trae Young one is a bit cumbersome, I like the idea. Generally, again, these are fine.
LEGITIMATELY PRETTY GOOD!
17. A seven-time All-Star, one of the generation’s greatest, from the south side of Chicago and the Los Angeles Lakers, Anthony Davis
16. He got crazy skills, that you can’t overstate ‘em, from the Boston Celtics, first-time All-Star, Jayson Tatum
15. He’s Kia’s Most Improved Player, and tonight he’s ready to rock ‘em, here from the world champion Toronto Raptors, give it up for Pascal Siakam
14. Known for his passin’, but his triple-doubles are his best look, from the Houston Rockets, give it up for Russell Westbrook
13. When he heats up from outside, it’s like a pressure cooker, first-time All-Star from the Phoenix Suns, Devin Booker
12. Like a protest on the court, he’s an all-time disruptor, from the Miami Heat, y’all give it up for Jimmy Butler
11. A league MVP who breaks ankles with no pardon, from the Houston Rockets, the league’s leading scorer, James Harden
10. In his breakout season, representin’ the Bayou Kingdom, first-time All-Star from the New Orleans Pelicans, Brandon Ingram
9. Sixteen-time All-Star, three-time NBA champion, we continue to witness his reign, one of the greatest to play the game, from the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James
I love that we have an internal rhyme in the LeBron one (reign/game/James), which puts it atop this list. “Bayou Kingdom” and “Brandon Ingram” is terrific, as are pardon/Harden and disruptor/Butler, particularly that last one, because [gestures at Jimmy Butler’s time with the Minnesota Timberwolves, which he joined from the Chicago Bulls, whose fans cheered him when he was introduced]. Rest of them are all pretty solid, shout out to Kia for getting a mention in there. I hope Common was given a very nice Sorento for that.
COMMON REALLY DID A JOB MAKING THESE RHYMES WORK AND I APPRECIATE THAT
8. Unable to play due to the injury, but anywhere on the court he can kill it, from the Portland Trail Blazers, give it up for my man Damian Lillard
7. Representin’ the three-point range from the lane, he’ll give you a dosage, from the Denver Nuggets, two-time All-Star, the Joker, Nikola Jokic
6. The reigning MVP, can drive the lane with no refusal, from the Milwaukee Bucks, the captain of the team, Giannis Antetokounmpo
5. From inside or outside, either way he’ll get you, first-time All-Star, from the Utah Jazz, Donovan “Spida” Mitchell
4. He may not talk a lot, but on the court, he gives a clinic, a four-time All-Star from the LA Clippers, Kawhi Leonard
3. Makin’ his All-Star debut, goin’ hard in the paint is his sty-o, from the Miami Heat, Bam Adebayo
Looking back, I was surprised by how much joy I got out of the various ones in which Common took major poetic license to make the rhyme work. These range from “alright I get it, he had to be a little flexible, although he could have done ‘killer’ instead of ‘kill it,’ ya know?” to “Common took the word ‘style’ and change it to ‘sty-o’ because he had to make something rhyme with Adebayo.”
AFTER I DIE, I WILL BE AT THE GATES OF HEAVEN, AND ST. PETER WILL ASK WHY I DESERVE ENTRY, AND I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GIVE AN ANSWER, BECAUSE I WILL STILL BE THINKING OF THESE TWO RHYMES COMMON MADE AT THE 2020 NBA ALL-STAR GAME
2. A four-time All-Star, he handles the rock like Gibraltar, from the Boston Celtics, give it up for Kemba Walker
1. Think you can shake this first-time All-Star? Au contrarie, mon frère, from the Utah Jazz, the Stifle Tower, Rudy Gobert
Rhyming “Walker” and “Gibraltar” is inspired work. I am legitimately in awe of the fact that Common did this, one year later. Yes, there is a quibble with the fact that “handles the rock like Gibraltar” doesn’t quite work, factually, because no one really handles the Rock of Gibraltar and it’s, you know, kind of just there, surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea. Unless Common’s implication is that Kemba Walker is the Mediterranean Sea of basketball players, which I will need to marinade on some more before making a ruling.
And then, there is his masterpiece. Ok, well, Be has a much better case for being his masterpiece, but this sits right at the intersection of “really good,” “really clever,” “really funny,” and “really applicable for the player.” Also, it called upon Common to speak French, which makes sense considering, uh, Rudy Gobert is French, but is also just terrific. Just fantastic stuff.
Nirvana was one of the defining bands of its era, and that came off the strength of only about a half-decade of mainstream success before Kurt Cobain’s tragic death. While the band left fans with legendary music, there was still loads of unfilled potential with the group, a thought that still saddens Dave Grohl.
On a recent episode of Apple Music’s Medicine At Midnight Radio, Grohl spoke about the success of the band towards the end of its run and how he wishes Cobain was still making music today. He said:
“The shows were getting bigger. The crowds were getting bigger. The crowds outside of the shows were bigger than the crowds inside the shows. We could see that something was happening, but we really never expected that it would turn out to be as big as it was. I don’t think any of us expected that. […]
Of course, [Cobain’s death] was an incredibly challenging experience, and ultimately one of the greatest heartbreaks of my life that Nirvana isn’t still here today making music, whether it would be called Nirvana or something else. It is one of my life’s greatest heartbreaks that Kurt isn’t still here to write more amazing songs because it’s pretty clear that he was blessed with a gift. I think it’s safe to say that he was the greatest songwriter of our generation. I’m very proud to say that I got to be his drummer and play those songs every night.”
