Rape me!

[Matthew Mussolini]

Good song?

[PacificDude]

Matthew Mussolini I think it's a great song. What get's me is that there are many people who don't get that Kurt was sarcastically telling the world to "rape" him in a figurative sense, not literal - so they are offended by his lyrics. Now that's what I call intellectual/artistic rape! Haha. Lucky thing Kurt Cobain would often scream out his lyrics so loud that you could only understand half of the lyrics. I actually had to look them up on Google before even I (a big fan) knew what he meant :-)

i'm so glad you can appreciate a song like that. I actually hadn't heard it was in a figurative sense but yesterday I referred to the immorality in the entertainment industry as having Spiritually, mentally, and morally raped me as a child, so that's interesting.

Yes, Kurt does scream sometimes , but he does it so well. I wonder if he screams as well live. I would think he hurts his throat.

But I can tell most of his lyrics lol. He doesn't scream into the mike nearly as much as some of the other artists I've listened to.

Do you think you would be as big of a fan of Kurt or like him to the same degree if he hadn't committed suicide?

It's a bizzarre question , I know, but I have a very soft, tender place in my heart for suicides and believe prayer and love can heal them. It's a Shinto tradition to console suffering spirits who died tragically like suicides or murder victims, or had no burial or funeral, by enshrining them as Kami.

I know you don't believe in that, and that's cool, but I find it to be a rewarding practice and a bunch of coincidences often pop up when I start doing that, so I'm gonna keep doing my thing, you keep doing your thing.

If my thing doesn't enhance your life and spirituality in any way, then don't practice it , because it is not your calling. Some pegs are square and were never meant to fit in a round hole. Other pegs are round. If your peg is square, find a square hole lol.

But I pray a lot to a suicide named "Nafisa Joseph" because she is totally rewarding me for every offering I give to her. For one, I enshrined her before knowing she had six connections to Benito Mussolini.

I also downloaded her picture for the first time , not knowing till I checked days later and that it was "May 23rd" anniversary of my jumping off a roof top trying in vain to accomplish what she did succesfully. Nafisa Joseph was close relative of Mussolini's favorite author Tagore who lost fans when he visited Italy and "Sang the praises of Mussolini".

She also hung herself on Mussolini's birthday. Mussolini's favorite visitor who left the biggest impression on him was Gandhi, and Nafisa always clutched a book of quotes from Gandhi backstage when she was nervous. Well, on the nine night celebration of Durga in India, I decided to do a nine day Novena to Nafisa.

The first day of the Novena , my Jewish friend showed up at my door and handed me a Gandhi pin with his birthday year 1869. He didn't know I just began a Novena to an Indian Supermodel actress who loved Gandhi.

Well October second was not on there , but it fell during the nine night Novena. So, because of that pin, I googled Gandhi's birthday a few days later on October 2nd, and was shocked to see that it was his birthday that very day.

I found a cigarette pack that said "Smokin Joe's" and I thought "smokin means sexy. Joe is for Joseph". Chief Joseph was on the cover and he was an Indian and so was Nafisa, just different kinds of Indians. Well, Chief Joseph was called "the red Napoleon".

So, I google Napoleon and his birthday is August 15th. August 15th I then read is also VJ day, which means "Victory of Japan day". I see a video on youtube called VJ Nafisa Joseph (VJ stood for Video Jockey). In the Video Nafisa Joseph quizzes people about what National India day is. To my surprise it was "VJ Day. August 15th." Which I had just looked up and learned about earlier that day, Gandhi's birthday.


Rest in peace, power, beauty, glory, perfection, and euphoria Saint Nafisa Joseph. I can't thank you enough for being my friend.

Now , a lot of other graces came during those nine days, but if I list them all this post will just be way to long and my posts are always usually way too long when I get going about stuff like this. Let's just say that Nafisa Joseph has rewarded me in so many ways that make coincidences look tiny in comparison.

And Joseph was the name of the first son of Rachel and Mussolini the Patriarch in Scripture (Genesis) who was the one who had the dream of the sun representing Mussolini. (You've heard me say it before but in case another reader hasn't, Mussolini is the same name as Jacob in a different language and Benito also married Rachel who has my birthday , April 11.)

But I honor and pray for all suicides because too many Religions teach they go to Hell, and sadly there are sects of Buddhism even that teach some things about hell and certain suicides going there that kinda make me ill.

So, I stick with Shinto. It's less depressing. Most Shintoists are also Buddhist, and it is mostly compatible with Christianity with the exception of, in Christianity , souls in hell are stuck there for eternity. In Shinto, if a soul is suffering after death, our prayers for them or enshrining them as Kami can console, heal, empower, transform, perfect, Deify, or make Saints (canonize) of them.

Please keep your avatar of Kurt Cobain though , because when I see it, it raises my heart and mind to a fellow suicide who can benefit from prayer the same way an icon of the Virgin Mary or a crucifix can raise a Catholic 's mind and heart to Jesus and Mary.

By keeping an Avatar of Kurt, what I see is a type of online Cyber shrine to him that honors him as an enshrined Kami. Plus I see a friend.

Matthew Mussolini Will forever keep my Avatar of Kurt :-)

Wise decision. It actually does mean a lot for me to hear that.

[Matthew Mussolini]

I will provide Kurt with much help.

I will help him rehabilitate and he will in turn help me and we shall be friends for eternity. I believe you will enjoy friendship with him some day as well. You don't necessarily have to believe in Heaven or Hell, but he was a genius, and that ingenuity came from the great Spirit that we all came forth from.

I don't so much see it as Heaven or Hell, but he returned to the great Spirit from which he came, the Spirit that lives within us all.

He is in a process of Healing and growing and one day he shall reach Nirvana and perfection (call it Buddhahood or Sainthood or Godliness, or all of the above).

Of that I am convinced. But no one needs to believe what I do, and I respect those who have other convictions.

But Kurt is eternal, lives on in many hearts, and we are Temples where spirits can dwell (Scripture at least says so). Kurt is welcome to this Temple.

I offer my Temple to rather be a Hospital for suicides to find rest, healing, and love. Nafisa Joseph and I work together with suicides and private revelation seems to indicate that She has a "Saint Joseph's hospital for suicides" in the world of the dead.

We shall make Kurt Cobain patron Saint of Suicides , hopeless cases, and troubled marriages.

It's a good song, not my favorite from Nirvana. I don't know if it would crack my Nirvana top 10 but definitely top 20.

[JoeKing]

Remember the Grammy performance where he wanted to sing that song but they won’t allow it, so he sang rape me then switched to teen spirit.

I was living in Seattle in 85-88 some pretty amazing music.

When you know that you love something that talks about rape you know that you are a bit of creep. Rape is a criminal act.

It's an interesting mental image to imagine Cobain still alive and Nirvana still together and watching a youtube video of a 50 year old Cobain sing this song live. I'm sure they would have retired the song from their live sets due to the zeitgeist of the last decade anyways but that aside, it's a song that seems like the only way it's not completely distasteful is due to the youth element of it.

LOL!

Yeah...he wouldn't sing that song live at age 50....that would be weird and kinda creepy!

I find the song amusing.

I don't like rape.

Besides, I heard he was talking about rape in a figurative sense, not literal.

[neonspectraltoast]

He was talking about you. All the people who take no time to treat a person with respect, but are instead interested in how they can use him as a stepping stone.

Kurt was and is light years ahead of you guys, and when you admire him from beyond the grave, I'm sure it's hilarious to him. Probably died a second time in Heaven from laughter.

Whose the one being disrespectful here?

Also, I don't believe in using anyone and believe in unconditional love, forgiveness, mercy, and treating all people with dignity. I even believe (yet sometimes fail in practice) that I should love my enemies.

I hate what Joseph Stalin did, but I still hope he gets to find eternal happiness, euphoria, and bliss some day after receiving a new heart, mind, body, and soul.

Stalin was abused by an alcoholic Father as a kid and his mother fled the house with him and they lived in some pretty shitty environments for a kid to grow up in. He started turning to God and getting Spiritual and went to seminary to be a priest.

People made fun of him and treated him like shit, and that fueled his animosity towards religious people, lead to him becoming an atheist, and one of the top two worst (if not the worst) persecutors of Christians in History (and he straight up persecuted anyone who wasn't an atheist).

But Jesus said from the cross, "Father forgive them, they know not what they do". He forgave the people that crowned him with thorns, mocked him, insulted him, spit on him, stripped him down naked, flogged him, nailed him to a cross, and pierced his side with a lance.

So, my attitude towards people whose behavior I hate (like Stalin) is "They know not what they do". In other words, "it's not their fault". Or at least, "it's not entirely their fault.

They don't know better and are simply inclined to be assholes" sort of like if you abuse a puppy all the time and never love it, it turns into a vicious, angry, or dangerous dog that is good for a dog fight perhaps, but can be next to impossible to thoroughly reverse the damage once it's done, ever teach it to be nonviolent and affectionate, once it reaches adulthood and is vicious with PTSD.

Bottom line is, you are mistaken in your assertion and have harmed your credibility .

[neonspectraltoast]

Pretty sure I'm spot on.
