Matt and Andrew's CD a Day project

They think today is the 10th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, although he wasn't found until April 8. Instead of listening to Nirvana today, though, I picked out this album, because it's the most tragic story I know in rock. For Squirrels was a band from Florida who combined the best elements of Nirvana and late-'80s REM. This album came out in 1995 and featured the single "Mighty KC," about Kurt Cobain. The chorus begins: "And by the grace of God go I/ Into the great unknown/ Things are gonna work out in our favor."
Two weeks before the album came out, the band was in a van accident, and the singer, bass player, and manager were killed. Mighty KC, a song about a dead rock star, turned out to be eerily prophetic.
