Guess who poetry contest

Born into a band of heavenly bliss he wrote about territorial piss One song so deep it dripped from ceilings liked to eat fish, coz they have no feelings? Married a madwoman her name was (Love)? drug addict too, no angel from above The friends in his head made him so happy lithium he took was oddly crappy A screaming voice of boiling hot gravel, didn’t take long for life to unravel Swore blindly that he never had a gun some lyric, considering what he done Came as he was, doused in mud, steeped in bleach, Jesus-like guy, just one that couldn’t preach!

There's always a survivor/s from carwrecks like that, let us hope this one surpasses the lifespan and lifestyle of both; yet, still something potent from both of them remains in the genes.

Thanks Candide, Kurt was my all time hero, I was being truthful here, just like he was, and I agree Frances is the survivor of this particular tragedy, thanks for the links, cheers David

I can hear his songs as I read, (no I don't have a gun) Bleach a dead give-away....saw him in concert! Well-done.

I know he was still trying to sue them up to a couple of years ago, it’s all water under the bridge now lol!

A tale of fish and their unfeeling dealings. In the hidden depths, they swam free, Where emotions dissolved, lost in the sea...a real poet! The baby on the cover wasn't too happy, lol.

Hopefully Marge seen him too, and knows who I’m on about, you are so lucky to have seen them in concert, still number 1 on my playlist after all these years, I’m sure you got my allusion in the first stanza to the melancholic (something in the way) too, cheers David

I've no blooming idea of who he is, but he sounds like a peach, as long as he doesn't preach.

Ha! Don’t worry Lin not everyone will know this guy, but he made a huge impact worldwide in the early 90s, with his amazing songs and lyrics, not to everyone’s taste, as you can see from my allusions, Hey wait a minute are you playing me with that word blooming??? oh you are clever, cheers David
