Quotes About Kurt Cobain

In the late 80s though, during the new Glam Rock, leather trousers came back with a vengeance. In a way they replaced Spandex, which had slipped slowly out of fashion due to bands like Saxon never being out of the stuff.

This all looked quite nice for a while, but in the end they were just another easy target for Kurt Cobain and his subversive cardigans.
