"Organized Confusion" is the name of the demo recorded by Kurt Cobain in December 1982 at his Aunt Mari Earl's house. Today is February 20, 2015. Kurt Cobain was born on February 20, 1967, and died by self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 5, 1994. He would have been 48 years old today.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
