"I don't like rednecks, I don't like macho men," Cobain once said. This track about a guy who "loves to shoot his gun" would become one of Nirvana's biggest live anthems. It started out as more of a hard-core rant. "It sounded like a Bad Brains song," said Krist Novoselic. Then, "one day Kurt called me and started singing. It was the 'In Bloom' of Nevermind, more of a pop thing."
