It was a time when depression and addiction weren't talked about the way they are today, especially how it tangled up with the chaos of fame.
Depression and addiction affect so many, and it's not as easy as choosing to be happy or not. It's complex, clinical, and can deeply impact one's life.
Just wanted to toss out some thoughts on being sensitive towards artists and the ongoing dialogue about what it means to find happiness and what it may mean.

Thank you so much for this video. You put it all in perspective. I was 22 years old, living in FL. It was 6:30 - 7:00 AM & I was getting ready for work. My phone rang, it was my sister in RI; my 1st thought was something happened to 1 of my parents or grandparents. She asked me if Iād heard the news I asked what news? She then told me Kurt had passed away. I couldnāt move, it was like everything just stopped, stood still. I still canāt believe heās gone

This is a really important essay. Thanks for this.

The story sold to the public about Kurt Cobainās death is part of the tragedy. People find comfort in the simplicity of the Icarus narrative, the ābe careful what you wish forā cautionary tale of a rock star who just couldnāt deal with the fame. Ask these people to look at evidence and they immediately adopt the arrogance of one who already knows it all.

Awesome video George. Sensitivity is overlooked and underappreciated at the same time. Both a blessing and a curse. I've lived with it, and amongst it. My brother's 5 year anniversary is April 12. Another talented, sensitive soul lost.

I lived within FM distance of Toronto and had last period off that day. I sat in my car with buddy, listening to 102.1 The Edge when Alan Cross announced Kurt Cobain's fate that day. Heard to believe that was 30 years ago today.
I'm not always on board with everything you propose, but you nailed it today. It isn't better to burn out than to fade away. Stardom and all it's trappings take a toll, on some more than others. And understanding ALL of Kurt's life and death may serve as a lesson to all.
Anyways, I'm off to watch "Live at the Paramount." Watching Kurt, Dave and Krist playing at their peak is the way I want to remember Nirvana.

I loved this, what a great essay. I've never heard someone put Kurt's story so succinctly yet so elegantly. It was bittersweat, and thought provoking. It left me both thinking of what could of been and appreciating what we have of him.

Great video!! Nirvana and kurt have been and still are a massive part of my life. I donāt know about everyone else but for some reason im really feeling his loss this time round. Maybe because im getting older myself, 47 now and just remembering being young is probably part of it. R.I.P Kurtš

Such a great video. I was born in 1999 and, crazy as it sounds, I had never thought of Kurt as someone who āhad it all.ā The cultural mythology positions him as a sort of patron saint of the 27 Club, talking only about his addiction, his depressive tendencies, the massive and mysterious physical pain he was in - all these things that prefigure his death and make it feel inevitable in hindsight. I hadnāt heard any of his music until relatively recently and had no metric by which to appreciate that he really was talented and artistically successful, not just an automat Rich and Famous Rockstar like so many celebrities of my day. Itās cool to see someone instead remembering him as sensitive, intelligent, powerful and yet kind.

A part of me died 30 years ago. And that void, that emptiness is still there. Never recovered from that. Many things happened in my life since that day. Many things have been piled on top of that dayā¦
But I just realized that in a way Iām still that teenager seating on my bed in my bedroom at my parentās house, staring at Kurtās face on a poster after hearing the news. Shocked. Numb.
I lost a friend I never had.
Life forces me to keep moving.
But sometimes, things like this beautiful video make me look back. And that day is so distant now, in the horizon of my memory.
I can still see it though.
Thanks for reminding me of him.

I was in my early 20's when Kurt Cobain died. It was devastating news for me and a lot of my friends. This is really well done...

This video resonates with me deeply, wise words George, thank you. Happiness is few and far between. Happiness are the moments of calm with connection. Happiness is not something I know well.
I feel lucky Kurt shared his pain so I could have a thread to help me survive things he didn't.

Awesome video, George. I still remember that day like it was yesterday. I was just about to turn 16 a month later. It definitely changed everything for me personally and lots of others. Thanks for this

"..I must have died alone, a long long time ago.." re-listening to these lyrics on the 30th anniversary of his death on the 5th was quite haunting š„ r.i.p Kurt

Thank you so much for this piece, George. So well done.

It's so strange and serendipitous that I started reading Mark Yarm's "Everybody Loves Our Town" on Friday the 5th, and am finishing it today, the day I see this video. Life is weird, terrifying, and wonderful. Thank you for this essay.

I had just turned 30 when he died. I was in Vancouver at the time. In 2019 my dentist committed suicide. It continues to take lives both famouse and not. Thank You for this.

I was 24 when Kurt Cobain died. My wife was pregnant at that time and we were both devastated when we heard the news of his suicide. As a tribute to him we named our son after Kurt. ā¤
