WHAT’S GOING ON?
Interesting comments made regarding the suicide of K Cobain by your staff on that TV2 infotainment show. One writer considered, in suitably snooty fashion, that said suicide was some sort of misguided career move, while the other writer seemed to be claiming that Nirvana’s fans prior to mass-acceptance were “saddoes”, a term she used endearingly. As if this wasn’t enough to show your writers are getting more out-of-touch with artists and their followers, I then opened your (marginally improved) Issue 200 to find your editor whinging about the results of music awards held 14 years ago! What’s going on? REX FREEMAN, Greymouth. Editor replies: The comment on the Grammy Awards 14 years ago related to Pink Floyd, the band with the current No.l selling album in New Zealand.
