Look, I’m with all of you: I don’t want my favourite cultural heroes to die. But they are mortal. Even Bowie’s adventures into space couldn’t save him from shuffling off the mortal coil.
But some people just can’t handle this idea, and try to find Elvis in every potato chip they find. Or, at the very least, see celebrities in otherwise innocuous photos or footage.
Take, for instance, the appearance of “Kurt Cobain” on a Peruvian talent quest-ish television show. From what I can tell, the facade this is actually the Nirvana frontman is upheld throughout the entire video. Despite the fact he looks nothing like Kurt Cobain.
That hasn’t stopped the internet going nuts over it, though, with actual arguments over whether it is Cobain or not leading to an official statement from the remaining band.
The statement said it was Cobain, who had to learn to play right-handed because there’s no left-handed guitars in Peru. Fair enough.
