OK, so I’ve seen the story several times now that Courtney
Love has sold some of Nirvana’s catalog, leaving the door open
for the band’s songs to show up in commercials. The first go-around will be in a
future episode of CSI: Miami.
Still, it gets one to thinking, if “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is an obvious song
to use for an adolescent body spray, what of “Drain You” and “Endless Nameless”?
BTW, if you’re in the market for a Kurt Cobain action figure (and aren’t we all?), you
can get one here.
