ON THIS DATE, ALLLLL THE WAY BACK IN 1992, I STAYED UP LATE ALONG WITH MILLIONS OF OTHERS TO WATCH THE 10TH EPISODE OF SEASON 17 OF THE SKETCH COMEDY SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE…IT WAS THE DAWN OF THE SEATTLE GRUNGE MOVEMENT AND THE NEWLY NAMED #1 ALBUM ON THE U.S BILLBOARD CHARTS BELONGED TO NIRVANA…AND THEY WERE THE MUSIC GUEST! I WAS ABSOLUTELY ENAMORED AND RATHER ENJOYED THEIR REBELLIOUS ROCK STAR BEHAVIOR AS WELL AS THE MUSIC THAT JUST FIT MY YOUNG ADULT ANGST…INTRODUCED BY THE CUTIE PATOOTIE ACTOR ROB MORROW, FROM THE HIT TV SHOW “NORTHERN EXPOSURE”, KURT COBAIN, DAVE GROHL AND KRIST NOVASELIC PERFORMED “SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT” FIRST AND IT ROCKED! THE SECOND SONG PERFORMED THAT NIGHT WAS A HEAVY PUNK ANTHEM “TERRITORIAL PISSINGS” AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY FINISHED THE SINGLE, THEY TRASHED THEIR GEAR…ABSOLUTELY ICONIC AND STILL GIVES ME ALL THE KICK ASS ROCK VIBES!!! NIRVANA’S TERRITORIAL PISSINGS…IT’S TODAY’S ROXY’S ROCK REWIND ON 105.7 THE X ….TAKE A TRIP BACK TO THE SNL STAGE BELOW!
