[edit] Quotes

On Kurt Cobain:

"Kurt left a legacy of a brutally honest artist who opened up his most personal thoughts and exposed his self-loathing and laid them down for all to see. His music was honest, tortured and vulnerable. He gave his all for his art but it's a shame he left nothing for himself".^[3]
