Nirvana - Opinion (Guitar Cover)

When Kurt Cobain appeared on Calvin Johnson&"Boy Meets Girl" show on Evergreen State College&KAOS Community Radio, in September 1990, he brought along an acoustic guitar and a few new tunes. Just how new were they? As Cobain told the K Records founder during an on-air chat, he had written most of the lyrics that evening, adding, jokingly, "while I was driving…with one foot." He kicked off the mini-set with "Opinion," a tune that, in the tradition of future Nirvana prime cuts like "Teen Spirit" and "Rape Me," is built around a repeating four-chord progression that carries through both the verses and choruses. But despite some pointed lyrics (Cobain takes aim at the media in lines like "a year&subscription of bad puns"), "Opinion" comes off as little more than a sketch of a song. And unlike some of the other tunes Kurt played that evening – "Dumb," "Polly," "Lithium" – it was never developed further. Tuning: Detune guitar almost half step down. Equipment: Stella Harmony 12 string(with 5 nylon stings) Same model guitar as Kurt had Lyrics: Congratulations you have won It&a years subscription of bad puns. And it makes your story our concern And you set it up for returns (Alt: You said it all and you glory burns) My opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x4] And there seems to be a problem here. Your state of emotion seems to clear. You rise and fall like wall street stock And you had an affect on our happy talk. Our opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x2] My opinions. Mmm. Mmm. [x2] Congratulations you...
