Kurt Cobain the fabulous, charismatic but also painfully troubled voice and
songwriter of legendary Seattle band Nirvana took his own life 30 years ago
today, on 5 April 1994. Hew as only 27.

Cobain: “If you die you’re completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on.
I’m not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the
best hope I’ve got.”

Here’s one of my favorite songs
(the Unplugged version is awesome)
to remember the lost icon.

NIRVANA – Their 3rd And Final Album ‘IN UTERO’ Came Out 30 Years Ago

Posted on September 21, 2023 by JL

Back in time

21 September 2023

NIRVANA released their 3rd and final LP IN UTERO
30 years ago today, on 21 September 1993

Rolling Stone wrote: “This is the way Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain spells success: s-u-c-k-s-e-g-g-s. Never in the history of rock & roll overnight sensations has an artist, with the possible exception of John Lennon, been so emotionally overwhelmed by his sudden good fortune, despised it with such devilish vigor and exorcised his discontent on record with such bristling, bulls-eye candor… ‘In Utero’ is a lot of things — brilliant, corrosive, enraged and thoughtful, most of them all at once. But more than anything, it’s a triumph of the will.”
Score: 4.5/5 – Full review here.

Turn Up The Volume: Heart-piercing eruptions. Emotional musings.
Profound sentiments. Deeply human. Unquestionably Nirvana‘s magnum
opus to my ears.

Three highlights: All Apologies / Heart-Shaped box / Scentless Apprentice
