Cool beans! I'm ready for him to take a new left turn.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I won't accept anything less than an MMA cage match.

Question: If you're a 16-year-old right now, who would you think is the heir to Nirvana's sound?

Right now, I can't think of anybody. You could've said Rage Against the Machine at one point, or maybe Green Day but once American Idiot became a stage show that's right out.
But "right now" isn't exactly the operative concept for the way teens consume music anyway. They range pretty widely through iTunes and pull music off YouTube so they have a very ahistorical approach to music.
I'm inclined to say they'd be into Nirvana's first pre-hit album Bleach.

Cool! Rock Scene was Lisa Robinson's mag and it had such an odd "you're hanging out with rock stars" vibe to it. Hardly any copy, but sometimes pieces by Patti Smith or Richard Hell. Lots of promo pictures and then gossip. It didn't have any of the kind of writing you found in Creem, really.
I guess I should note that in typical nerdster fashion I read about punk for years before I ever heard it. I'd hang out at a store called The Treasury which was an odd department store/grocery store hybrid and it had a huge magazine and paperback section and they didn't give a shit if you sat there and read them all day. (That's where I read The Happy Hooker Goes Around the World.) But I read Creem, Rock Scene, Crawdaddy and Hit Parader religiously from the time I was 12 (1973) until I discovered the Village Voice and Rolling Stone (about age 16).

Info on the next MCR single! "The Only Hope For Me Is You". And because I have no emotional resilience right now, I will admit that the cover art made me tear up a little.
