‘Lake of Fire’ Lyrics

* In response to Bob Guccione Jr.’s article concerning the death of singer Kurt Cobain (Commentary, April 15): The lyrics attributed to Cobain as “a twisted version of his own eulogy” were in fact written by Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, whose song “Lake of Fire” Cobain performed with Kirkwood on the MTV “Unplugged” concert referred to in the article. Cobain’s suicide is nonetheless tragic, but let’s give credit where credit is due.
