R.I.P. Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley

Somehow this completely slipped my mind this week. Yesterday something was telling me there was significance in April 8th and the  I saw on my facebook someone mentioned that Kurt Cobain Died on April 8th, when we know the reality was that he wasn’t discovered until the 8th and they dated his death as the 5th. I wasn’t going to be a snotty rocker and correct them because most people think of the 8th as the day Kurt died, because that’s the day we all found out.

Layne Staley’s death is dated April 5th as well, though his body wasn’t found until April 19th and cause of death was noted as a “Speedball” injection overdose.

Both of these great musicians had drug issues, but I still think Kurt was murdered. Sadly we will probably never know the truth. All we can do is remember them for who and what they were.

Rest in peace Kurt and Layne.
