I've been obsessed with Kurt for a verrrrrry long time.
I think every kid going through their alternative phase finds Nirvana and it speaks to their twisted, tortured, teen souls.
Kurt Cobain: The Last Interview follows the same formula as every other book in The Last Interview collection. It leads up to his final interview in February 1994, just months before his death. Some of these interviews were absolutely insane to read but two specific ones stuck out to me the most. The July 1993 interview for Guitar World with Jon Savage shows them bantering on gay rights, feminism, and how their music allowed them to raise awareness for things they were genuinely passionate about without being overtly political. I also enjoyed the August 1993 interview for Much Music TV with Erica Ehm. They talked about life, love, and music. It showed a sweeter more relaxed version of Kurt as opposed to the Edgar Klusener interview with the whole band that honestly made me think a little differently of them.
Kurt lived the life he thought he wanted and it just wasn't enough for him. Growing up with next to nothing and being catapulted into stardom would be hard on anyone, let alone someone living with a chronic illness and shaky mental health. Yet somehow, through all that Kurt became the voice of a generation. Someone who said and did what everyone was thinking without any regrets.
Peace, love, and empathy.
