Oldheads.. i just read kurt cobains biography :wow:

[Marco Zen]

The book Heavier than heaven. It's crazy to me how insanely talented that dude was as an artist, but behind all the talent was such a mess of a man. He didn't have a hard upbringing, his parents divorced when he was young but still remained in his life and were decent parents. Cobain was just an odd egg from the start. He liked to keep rats as pets. He hated brushing his teeth., (among many other gross habits) Overall He hated life. What I got from the book was the only thing that made life halfway bearable was creating art and not even that was enough towards the end. All the money, fame, top of the industry, worshipped by fans across the world... not enough to stop him blowing his brains out.

The guy was literally the embodiment of the gift and the curse.

These "celebrities" we see and follow, behind that fame these mfs be having huge flaws we don't see. R Kelly, Pac, DMX the list goes on and on..

If you think hitting the lottery or making alot of money is gonna make life better, if you're already a mess of a person, how's money gonna fix that.

Yeah, great art usually doesn't come from happiness.

I'm not a conspiracy dude but all that talent mentioned is why many people speculate it was murder instead of suicide.

I believe it

The book talked about one of his assistants going grocery shopping with him and Courtney and how they had no concept of how to get groceries or personal items. That they were just throwing things in the cart that had nothing to do with what they needed or their lives. Said it was like shopping with two 5 year olds.

Cobain's contribution to rock isn't anywhere near the level of Dre's on hip hop. The music industry had moved on from Nirvana before Cobain died. By 1994, Alternative music has over taken rock and grunge by then.

I’m as Brooklyn as they come music wise growing up in the 90s and 2000s but Nirvana was transcendent for me. Great music

Name of the book?

I do think most great art comes from trauma or pain. It’s unfortunate and that’s why a lot of successful artists can no longer produce great art. Either the trauma got addressed or the pain was relieved. And then you have artists who don’t leave the hood, are heavy into drugs or are just fukked up people and continue to make amazing art, but their lives are wrecks. See Cobain, DMX, Prince, etc.
