Ships In Harbor Are Safe
Ships in harbor are safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.
Singer, guitarist and song writer Kurt Cobain was one such ship that was on the treacherous open seas.
Post his death Kurt is remembered as the most enigmatic musicians ever. Kurt passed away at the age of 27 leaving behind a legacy that is still going strong.
“Smells like teen Spirit” had become the cult song of his generation and he became the unlikely spokesperson and hero of his times. Kurt put in so much energy and passion into his performances that he never had any left for himself.
Nobody knows how he met his end. He was found with blood coming out of his ears and a shotgun facing his chin. Nobody knows exactly how long Kurt lay dead. It is estimated 3 days. His was found on 8th April’1994 but is said to have killed himself on 5th April '1994. High amounts of Valium and Heroin were also found in his body.
The film Last Days tries to capture what could have been Kurt’s final moments alive. Kurt’s biography, Heavier Than Heaven (2001), put together by Charles. R. Cross, also does not give us a complete picture of Kurt’s life as neither did his mother nor Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl had any say in it.
