As a Known Enemy

"Definitely, Maybe," a mid-level romantic comedy came across the screen last night. It detailed the life of a guy who came to New York for the Clinton campaign in 1992. He now has a 10-year-old daughter who asks him one night to tell her about his past, mostly his romantic relationships.
A running joke in the movie is that the character, a political nerd, has never heard of Kurt Cobain. Finally, he hears "Come as You Are," and relates, sort of.
Will this be the first of Nirvana's songs to become a commercial jingle? There is still a fight between Courtney Love and the members of Nirvana as to who owns Kurt's songs. I did notice that no Nirvana song was actually played.
It seems inevitable, but then again the Beatles never really sold their catalog, not yet at least(hear me Micheal Jackson).
In a way, that's too bad. I want to play Strawberry Fields on guitar for my five-year-old niece. It's the kind of thing you settle for by being unattached.
