What "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Could Have Said
"[Kurt] was changing the lyrics to all his songs during this period, and 'Teen Spirit' had about a dozen drafts. One of the first drafts featured the chorus: 'A denial and from strangers / A revival and from favors / Here we are now, we're so famous / We're so stupid and from Vegas.'"
