Kurt Cobain’s Prophetic Unsent Letter to MTV

The heavy rotation of the video “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on MTV might have made Nirvana superstars, but Kurt Cobain definitely wasn’t happy with the cable network. An unsent letter he wrote to MTV in 1993 is now up for auction:

Here’s a transcription of the letter:

Dear Empty TV
the entity of all Corporate Gods
We will survive without you easily — — the oldschool is going DOWN FAST
my life’s Dedication is Now to Do Nothing But SLAG something

BTW – Prepare to feel old. The swimming baby from the the album cover for Nevermind is 20 years-old now.
