Kurt Cobain burst into American consciousness with a vengeance with the release of Nevermind, an instant classic that defined a sound and a generation. As the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana, he changed American music as few musicians ever have. His instantly identifiable raspy croon, his slash-and-burn guitar playing, and his corrosive and poetic lyrics made him a hero to a generation of lost souls. Three years later, he was dead of suicide, leaving a meteoric career and a cultural influence that would never wane. In interviews Cobain was funny, thoughtful, sarcastic, impassioned, and even … kind. This collection of interviews provides a look at a man who was too often misunderstood.
