Reply #25: I told my kid (13 year old boy) [View All]

His response? "Kurt who?"

Cobain was playing with Nirvana (if they were even called that then) at some shitty little dive in town, and they were opening for one of my friend's bands (who sucked bad which tells you something about how bad Cobain's band was), and we all partied after the show. Cobain was whacked out on something, but I'm not sure what. I think he actually pissed himself while he slept because he stunk up the whole house - plus, I don't think he'd taken a shower in at least a month. We kicked him out the next morning, like we did with the other bums who crashed at our place. We were responsible long-hairs who had serious jobs washing dishes at the local greasy spoon. Imagine my surprise when a couple of months later "Smells Like Teen Spirit" hits the radio as the next big thing.
