    Hahahahahahaha! Kurt wasn't that smart. And, personally, I think much of that is bullshit. I doubt even he knew what the fuck he was trying to say at times.

    Well maybe you're right, heroin has those effects, you don't know about what you're talking about, but i think Kurt wasn't a dumb sucker, well sometimes as everybody, but, i think he did knew what he said.
