“I have to admit I've found myself doing the same things that a lot of other rock stars do or are forced to do. Which is not being able to respond to mail, not being able to keep up on current music, and I'm pretty much locked away a lot. The outside world is pretty foreign to me.”

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.
