            In one of three Nevermind songs to feature guns prominently in the lyrics, Cobain painted a thumbnail sketch of a character whose life consists of bad parenting and blissfully stupid rock n' roll escapism.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=13036&offset=25&page=2">
The character lives for the moments when he's swept away by a "pretty song" to which he'll sing-along. Maybe he'll even get happy enough to fire his guns. The happiness isn't too deep through - the guy has no conception of what he's singing along to, and no self-awareness. In biblical syntax, he knows not what it means.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=13036&offset=25&page=2">At the time Cobain wrote 'In Bloom', the kind of dumb rock fans he had in mind were still a bit of an oddity at Nirvana shows.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.songmeanings.net/lyric.php?lid=13036&offset=25&page=2">The beauty of 'In Bloom' was that while it was a sly and satisfying condemnation of this kind of fandom, it was also an exciting enough rock tune zo engender mass sing-alongs. It managed to satisfy egghead ironists and blithe moshers with the same chorus.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/45DC0E5E-C098-478D-A073-23978BA87FF0/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
