Nirvana toured with RHCP in their early years, and i think that Kiedis mentions Kurt Cobain and "songs off station to station" to represent how any meaning or emotion or passion or relevence in Nirvana's songs has been bastardized by the way they've kind of been commercialised against their will.
Just a thought...
@GodHatesACoward Even more sadly, Nirvana is not the only band that had this happen to them.

In the alternative music scene, commercialisation has always been viewed as the ultimate evil: indeed, this attitude seems to me to be the only thing that all the otherwise extremely varied music that has been identified as "alternative" has in common. (Whatever it means, it certainly isn't a musical genre! I heard somewhere that the label originated in the States to describe the college radio and related scenes.) When I was at university, commercialism was what everyone (well, all the cool people anyway
