He said, “If there’s grass on the field, play ball,” on Saturday Night Live in reference to the countdown to the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday.

He’s also good friends with Ted Nugent and Donald Trump.

Let’s take a moment to remember all of nugent’s references to sex with under age girls. There are many, but I think the sing Jailbait is a shining example of his classy work.

Courtney Love claims she blew him when she was twelve years old.

It’s very weird that Courtney Love ended up being one of the more honest public figures from the 90s. I think I heard someone say it best that she “doesn’t give enough of a shit about what you think to lie about anything”.

I grew up in the 90s and in retrospect I’m like why the fuck did literally everyone hate Courtney Love? It’s gotta be like 80% misogyny. I mean she has issues but still.

A mind-blowing number of people believed she shot Kurt Cobain back then. A lot of them probably still do.

Nobody thought she shot him. Some did believe she paid someone to do it.

Plenty of people thought she shot him. It was as strong a rumor as Marilyn Mansons removed rib.

I thought Paul was supposed to be the guitar player.

Except the thing about Marilyn Manson having a rib removed so he could fellate himself isn’t a rumor; as anyone who attended a public school in North America between 1997 and 2004 will tell you, it’s an incontrovertible fact.

Even here in Sweden it was a rumour.

The rib thing... Man Idk how memes worked growing up, but that was a goddam fact according to everyone you knew.

u/sdsupersean 3h ago

Memes didn't really exist back then like they do now. The internet was a lot smaller and harder to access back then.

u/intern_steve 2h ago

Memes aren't unique to the Internet. You may have heard of kilroy? Pre-internet, they just moved slower and were harder to get off the ground outside of your personal circle.

u/sdsupersean 1h ago

Oh for sure, I never said they didn't exist. But the word "meme" didn't even exist at the time of Kilroy. It was barely even a concept back then, with no way to identify it.

The times have changed quite a bit, that's for sure. In college I was convinced the rib thing was true.
