wow what a great story. i love it. i myself the first time i heard nirvana, (smells like teen spirit) on the radio basically changed my life with regards to music and wanting to play the guitar. why would you be ashamed to say you like nirvana? is that the punchline to a lot of jokes these days or something? i have always liked music but i honestly dont think i will ever forget the first time i heard nirvana on the radio. i remember staring at the speakers thinking what the heck is this? at the time it was 1000 times better than anything else the radio was playing.
