There is a person I admire. This person is Kurt Cobain. He was an American musician and artist, best known as the lead singer, guitarist and primary songwriter of the grunge band Nirvana. Kurt was born on February 20th, 1967 in Hoquiam, a small town 140 kilometers south-west of Seattle. When Cobain was seven years old, his parents divorced. When Cobain had his 14th birthday, his uncle offered him either a bike or a used guitar. He chose the guitar. In 1988 he started the grunge band Nirvana. Nirvana made the leap to a major label in 1991 when they signed with Geffen Records. Cobain also started using heroin in the early 1990s. Nirvana's highly acclaimed album In Utero was released in 1993. On April 5, 1994, in the guest house behind his Seattle home, Cobain committed suicide. A note was found, that stated that Cobain hadn't "felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing . . . for too many years now". A high concentration of heroin and traces of diazepam were also found in his body. Kurt Cobain was genius men and many thousands of people still love him!
