-Kurt Cobain
One of my favorite musicians of all time is Kurt Cobain. Nirvana was one of the best bands ever and mainly for the reason that Kurt was lead singer and guitarist. The way he would yell and shriek into the microphone, it was bone-chilling. And he was a great guitarist, with Krist Novoselic on bass and Dave Grohl on drums, Kurt was the only guitarist. Nirvana became very popular in the 90's and Kurt Cobain was not prepared for the attention and fame he was to recieve. He fell into a deep heroine addiction later in his music career and battled many personal demons.
Kurt Cobain led a sad and dark life filled with illness beginning at a young age, depression, and a bad drug addiction. Everything showed through his music, and that is one of the things that makes him so great. He had many problems, those which finally caused him to take his own life at the young age of 27 (the age at which many other artists died. Notoriously known as the 27 club: Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison and there are many others........sketchy). Kurt had become weary of the popularity he received from the public, as he describes in his suicide note ------> http://www.phrases.org.uk/quotes/last-words/kurt-cobain.html
This quote from Kurt reveals a lot about himself and is kind of spooky, knowing what was soon to come. He talks about being happy and finally attaining peace once you die. There's a lot of people who go through some fucked up shit in life, and suicide is an escape. Kurt could not overcome his own personal demons, and they finally led him to shoot his own brains out. The pain was no more.
I also like this quote because he touches on a central ideal of Buddhism. That is, your soul will live on and one day be reincarnated. Kurt says "becoming someone else is the best hope I've got" and "your soul somewhere lives on."
Kurt Cobain was a man with many problems and personal issues but he sure could rock out. He lives on and is remembered as one of the best musicians ever and he will never be forgotten. He was a one of a kind, there will never be anyone else like him.
R.I.P. Kurt Cobain
True stuff man.
ReplyDeleteThe deep biographical analysis was accurate and written with interest-which made it easier to read.
Post 2: Bro party cave sounded interesting, but you kind of cut it short before you actually seemed to say anything. It was a really blunt end.
ReplyDeletePost 3: You hit close to my heart on this one- I love Nirvana, love Kurt. I wonder what this quote means to you?
Wow, that is interesting how he made that quote then followed it himself. That's actually really spooky, like you said. I like how you related the quote to Buddhism. Nice pictures too!
