Smells Like Tarot Spirit

  I’m the dork that like to do readings for dead rock heroes. Today I saw a video of Foo Fighters doing a ‘Teen Spirit’ version of Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ and I was tickled pink by how much fun they were having. I wondered what Kurt would have thought and I was moved to pull a reading about it.  In the first two cards I can see the trajectory of his success: His creativity, ambition, risk-taking, and charisma was the embodiment of the Knight of Wands.  At the end of his life he had a spiritual crisis - represented by 5 Pents - where he felt creatively destitute. He felt like a fraud and thought everyone could see him failing.  In the end, the 6 Pents seem to say he feels joy seeing his band mates carry on, having fun, being successful, and forming personal connections with their audience.  What do you see?
