“Words suck. I mean, every thing has been said. I can't remember the last real interesting conversation I've had in a long time. Words aren't as important as the energy derived from music, especially live.”

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.
