"I'm a firm believer in karma, and that motherfucker is going to get what he deserves, eventually. That man will be caught, he'll go to jail, and he'll be raped."
"If you ever need anything please don't hesitate to ask someone else first."
"I'm going to be a superstar musician, kill myself, and go out in a flame of glory."
"I'm not a drug addict. I'm a heroin addict."
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.
