More from Kurt Cobain
"If you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got."
"I don't think I'm a very good singer."
"Nobody dies a virgin... Life fucks us all."
"I sing and play the guitar, and I'm a walking, talking bacterial infection."
"To be positive at all times is to ignore all that is important, sacred or valuable. To be negative at all times is to be threatened by ridiculousness and instant discredibility."
About Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
American singer-songwriter and Nirvana frontman whose Nevermind (1991) ended the hair-metal era; died of suicide April 5, 1994. Closely associated with Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam frontman and grunge contemporary) and Layne Staley (Alice in Chains frontman). For an intellectual contrast, see Axl Rose, Guns N' Roses frontman — Nevermind toppled GNR's Use Your Illusion II from #1 in January 1992, ending the late-80s Sunset Strip excess Cobain's grunge austerity was specifically reacting against. The cleanest single moment in late-20th-century rock — the literal generational pivot from hair-metal excess to flannel-shirt anti-rock-star authenticity.
