Kurt is kind of a strange case. Extremely talented songwriter, guitar player, producer. Knew and worked with at least one star who didn't live to fulfill his potential (Dumais). Gave things a shot, and then walked away, which was probably the smartest move. He seems to have an incredibly good sense of UVS's place in things. Basically, he lacks the tragedy that everyone likes to see in a musical icon. He gave us some great guitar solos and then three great albums, and then got on with his life. He should (assuming he ends up well) be used as an example of how to have a music career if you have a lot to say but don't want to destroy yourself doing so. He and Richard Davies could probably teach a college course on "How to be a genius songwriter without screwing up your life."
