Kurt Cobain

 

 

 

 

 

Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)

The voice of the times to end his life at 27, Kurt Cobain.

He belched out youthful loneliness  and anger to the world

with his guitar melodies. For him, it was the only exit to escape

from the isolated society and a kind of curse at the world that didn’t

recognize him. After a big success of Nirvana, he refused to

maintain the group’s reputation using popularity like other rock bands.

In the end, Kurt Cobain with a weak-minded character killed himself

as a drug addict in 1994, after enjoying the short golden age.

 

 

 

“It’s better to burn out than to fade away.”

Kurt Cobain’s short but strong life inspires me a lot.
