  • In June, 2016, my girlfriend and I rented a car and drove from LA to Seattle up the beautiful Pacific cost. Along the way we took a detour and stopped off for a couple of nights in Kurt Cobain's home town. Here we are, underneath the bridge.

    Being in Kurt's hometown must be very special. Knowing that he was right there and stepped on the same ground than you... it sure makes you feel so connected with Kurt, and demysify the character that the media has been selling about him all this time. Like if you traveled back a few decades you would porbably meet him there being a child, no Nirvana, no shit, just a dude doing whatever.

      It was a strangely haunting experience. It's such a dank, run-down place that I had only ever seen in Nirvana picture books. Actually being there felt very strange indeed. Driving around that town whilst listening to In Bloom and seeing with my own eyes the characters that Kurt was referring to was like *really* hearing that music for the first time. It's an experience that will stay with me.

    This place is on my wish list for places to visit before I die. I would also love to see his home in Seattle where he lived with Courtney Love.. I was a huge fan, I still am. I saw him rise to greatness and I cried the day he passed on by suicide or murder but he is immortalized through his music, so this place would be far from boring, depressing or whatever adjectives people are using to describe this surreal place because to me it's about Kurt Cobain and where he drew inspiration to write his poetically brilliant songs.

      so what? is there really something wrong with taking a drive to a park to smoke a joint in honor of someone you looked up to? its a pretty tame action all in all. its not like we're all dying our hair blonde, buying lefty fender strats and wearing flannel, dude. its just a fucking park.

    I was there just a few days ago. Aberdeen is a depressing place. I talked to some people that grew up with Kurt, Krist and Robert novoselic, Buzz Osborne, and Mike Dillard (first Melvins drummer). It was somewhat surreal. The feelings about Kurt seem to be mixed amongst the locals.

    Nirvana to me represents the glorification of depression and self destruction. Especially amongst idiotic young teens in high school. Most of you should know what I mean.

      @novax people who refuse to be influenced by depressing and self destructive junkies? I may be in the minority but so are millionaires tho? Also, I thought punk was supposed to be about thinking for yourself and living up to your own beliefs despite what anybody else thinks. Despite the fact that most people desperately try to fit in nowadays even the so called "free thinkers" I'm not surprised one bit to find people upset about a man who's encouraging people to ACTUALLY think for themselves and to question their leaders and idols. Especially depressed suicidal junkies.
