Kurt Cobain

As you might know, today is the 10th anniversity of Kurt Cobain's suicide. I mention it, as his life and death have significant resonance for me, as they likely do for many people of that generation. Today, coincidentally or not, I am finishing discussion of Internet Invention, my second semester teaching this book. I am using it this time in a grad class, and it seems to be going better, perhaps because the students are stronger or perhaps because I have a better sense of what to expect. It is the Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box" that provides the epigram for my emblem, forever in debt to your priceless advice. This line, delivered with Cobain's signature irony, links my motto (Deleuze's proclamation, "I have nothing to admit") with the twisted highway desert scene of my emblem.
