Plateau ala Nirvana

"What're they tuning, a harp?" Dig the crazy version of Sweet Home Alabama while they are waiting (see 1st part of vid below).

Dig Dave Grohl smoking a cigarette while playing. That's how good players everywhere just spontaneously bust out in music.
The subject however is Plateau, its lyrics, something about Greenland, the Brothers Meat of the infamous Meat Puppets, another twisted band comparable in stature to the ever-loving Butthole Surfers. Both bands have a distinct Southwest (US) flavor, both rock, both will kick your ass. And dig, my brothers and sisters, Nirvana playing a Meat Puppets song, acoustic, on TV, with 2 founders of the Meat Puppets.

There were times where I keep walking around singing this song...

Nothing on the top but a bucket and a mop
And an illustrated book about birds
You see a lot up there but don't be scared
Who needs action when you got words...


Also dig Cobain reading an apparent WFMU newsletter:

Everyone KNOWS Cobain's living in
Spain with Jim Morrison and that they've had plastic surgery and have a band named the "Skittles".

I'm tired of all this morbidity and
dog beating. Can't we let the dropouts score, MAN?

What is all this talk about tragic
youths? If they weren't so narcissistic and STUPID tragedy would not have smashed them like Stalin's hammer.
