Waaaaaaay back in 2014, I recorded my thoughts about Nirvana’s Nevermind, song by song, and put them on YouTube. Now those musings are on the Music, Movies, and More podcast.

While obviously not featured on Nevermind, I have such fond memories of Lithium from the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, that I felt motivated to comment on that performance.

The audio is a little choppy in some places and I can’t remember why. It’s been a long four years (and a really long 26).

Here’s the breakdown:

-Nirvana and music itself in 1992

-The MTV Video Music Awards and the first day of school

-Watching MTV in 1992

-Trying to find information in 1992

-The performance

-What Kurt Cobain looked and sounded like

-Dave Grohl and protein shakes

-Headbanging and brain damage?

-Krist Novecelic

-The audience at the 1992 VMA
