Kurt Cobain


Kurt Cobain one of the greatest musicians to walk this earth He was born on February 20 1967 and was known for his influential work as lead singer/Guitarist of seattle grunge band Nirvana which formed in 1987 writing all the songs for up until his death in 1994. Kurt cobains talent as a composer is unmatched in my eyes he is most known for his song smells like teen spirit which kurt despised towards the end of his life as he felt it to commercial some of his better songs are heart shaped box, pennyroyal tea, sliver, Aneurysm, in bloom, and many more. kurt was not only known for his music but his marrige to courtney love a fellow musician and drug addict before his death death kurt had one child named Frances 'Bean' Cobain after kurt saw her in an ultrasound and qouting she looked like a bean. like most musicians in the seattle grunge scene kurt was plagued by drug addiction he attempted rehab many times only to go back on the drugs kurts final attempt a rehab ended with him scaling the 8 foot wall surrounding the center kurt was not seen again until later that week until an electritian enter Kurts house to find him dead with a shotgun wound to the head. His death was concluded to be suicide but this has been of much debate of kurts fans. Although dead Kurts legacy still lives on In 2005, a sign was put up in Aberdeen Washington that read "Welcome to Aberdeen - Come As You Are" as a tribute to Cobain. The sign was paid for and created by the Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee, created in May 2004 to honor Cobain. The Committee also planned to create a Kurt Cobain Memorial Park and a youth center in Aberdeen.
