Iconomancy- Kurt Cobain

    I was sitting around today randomly flipping through my winamp playlist, and i landed on some Nirvana. Later I was at my friend’s place listening to some cd’s having some beers, and on comes Nirvana.

    Finally, my dearest mother was driving me to work, i flipped on the radio, and there was Kurt Cobain and his wailing voice.

    Now being a fan of Nirvana, all these instances were great. While being a junkie of Unknown Armies, I realized that ‘Hey! Could Cobain be an idol?”

    I had a vision in my head of a significantly powered spell called ‘It
    s better to burnout then fade away’ I’m not sure what it would do, but it would definately be a negatively invoked power of Cobain.

    Anyone else ever think of Cobain as an Idol, and if so what spells could someone come up with?

    Or am I asking the wrong people?

    Questions, comments, carelessly lobbed bricks?

    I’d say it varies by the brick, but.. you gotta be loved, and missed, by one hundred million people.

    A pop icon who hijacks a style of music doesn’t exactly draw out the full ‘oomph’ of the risk-takers most of the Idols were; anyone who either put themselves into harm’s way, or did something extrordinary, through force of will.

    Hitler, being a tard with a bad mustache, was just another dictator.

    Ghandi, on the other hand, could make a country riot through simply *not* eating.

    One’s power, the other is a bad mustache.

    Kurt Kobain had a bad mustache.

    Listening to his music, though, did make me want to skinpop heroin, drink like a fish, and blow the back of my head off with a twelve gauge.

    Music moves the soul.

    Which is why i though he might work, as well it’s always up to the individual GM wether 100million is the number used to create icons etc.

    Thanks for the amswer tho, that really put Iconomancy in percpective for me.

    ‘Kurt Kobain had a bad mustache.’
