Kurt Cobain quoted the line from the song "Hey hey,my my" by Neil Young.

Neil Young orginally wrote the lyric "better to burn out than fade away" in the song "Out of the Blue" Not sure if thats the correct song title but that what is called on my i player.
However its a quote often attributed to Kurt Cobain as he quoted the lyric in his sucide note.
That was what made the line famous.

Sounds very Kerouac in my head. I will go and google it :D

Koga49: That's not what made that line famous... Kurt had just seen Highlander too many times... ;)

DonTomaso thats probably true but it sounds much cooler if he quoted neil young lol:)

yeah, I know its from the Neil Young song, but the Kurgan saying it as he leaves the church just after oogling the nuns is the one I choose to remember.

"Sacred gound Highlander!"
