It's been 10 years. My heart breaks every year on this day.  |

I've never been too aware of the exact date of the anniversary of his death so thanks for posting that, Miranda. Anyway, I totally remember where I was when I heard about his suicide. I also remember watching MTV for countless hours that day.  |

I also remember watching MTV for countless hours that day. I told Sean the other day... all I remember was that it was raining, I was pregnant and we were eating chinese food at home when we got the news... and then, like you, Carly, we watched tons of MTV that day. |

i know this may seem callous, but i just can't feel sorry for someone who takes his own life. he knew what he was doing.

That's what River Phoenix's death was like for me. I remember so well sitting on my bed in college and going to the dining hall and stupid boys dissing River, and feeling such a loss. I still do. "He was one of ours". |

"He was one of ours". That's such a great song. |

We're all entitled to our opinions. I feel sorry for him because of the (unknown) circumstances that made him believe he needed to commit suicide. I couldn't agree more on that. Makes me so sad that some people fall victim to such strong feelings that make them take their own lives. I used to feel that those people were simply selfish, but I guess I got more understanding in my old age hehe. I think the impact and shock of the deaths of people like Kurt or River Phoenix (or Layne Staley.. he's been somewhat forgotten this year seeing as Kurt's is such a big anniversary) is sorta like the equivalent of our parent's generation with people like JFK. As in, everyone remembers where they were the day that so-and-so died... With Kurt, I was only 12, and I have to admit I didn't realise who Mum was talking about until she said "the singer from Nirvana" (at which point I was like "OMG!!") - but I'll always remember that day. As with River Phoenix... and Princess Di. Especially so with her - because unlike Kurt and River (we don't have MTV), we got a lot of instant news coverage of that... the tv show we were watching suddenly stopped to bring us the news. Ooh, I feel teary remembering that... what a sap! hehe. Ok enough of this morbid ramblefest. |
