“And I do, god, how I do love playing live, it's the most primal form of energy release you can share with other people besides having sex or taking drugs. So if you see a good live show on drugs and then later that evening have sex, you're basically covered all the bases of energy release, and we all need to let off steam. It's easier and safer than protesting abortion clinics or praising God or wanting to hurt your brother; so go to a show, dance around a bit and copulate.”

American rock musician

Kurt Cobain was an American rock musician of the late 20th century, best known as the founder, lead singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter of Nirvana. He lived from 1967 to 1994. From 1987 until his death, Cobain helped define the band’s sound with songs marked by anger, unease, and resistance to establishment culture. His writing widened what mainstream rock could say, and he was often described as a spokesman for Generation X and as a major influence on rock music.
