  Apparently Bowie liked Kurt&apos;s version. &quot;I was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering &apos;The Man Who Sold the World&apos;&quot; and that &quot;it was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool.&quot;<br>Bowie called Nirvana&apos;s cover &quot;heartfelt&quot;. <br>&quot;If the mark of a good cover is that people do not even realize it&apos;s a cover, Nirvana certainly did a good job&quot;

  You know the band is legendary when you prefer the unplugged session over the studio recordings

  The way the audience literally doesn&apos;t make a sound during this whole cover is amazing. They&apos;re completely mesmerized by him.

  Wow, it’s been that long. When this song came out I was in and out of jail, addicted, and homeless. Now I have a husband, home and good job. This song and “Clover Cage - Faith In The Fire” are the two songs that helped me get through my depression. I just want people to know things do get better. We are in this together. :) love you..
