Kurt Cobain, born Kurt Donald Cobain on February 20, 1967, was Nirvana's long lost frontman. Was he alive he would turn 45 today. He was only 27 when he died on April 5, 1994.

As a child of the new generation, I knew about him and Nirvana because of their popularity. Have I been born on his era I might have been a superfan. But hell, it's too late now. I wouldn't have the opportunity to thank him personally. 

What I really liked about Kurt Cobain is his "I don't give a fuck" attitude, but not as a villain. When I decided to listen to their music (because I don't actually listen to anything just because they're popular), I was stumbled and madly got disappointed at myself. Why did I just listen to them that time!?

It wasn't too late, really. I could still buy their records, I can watch their videos on YouTube. Thank the music gods for Amazon and YouTube. 

My favorite tracks from them are Smells Like Teen Spirit, Heart-shaped Box, and Come As You Are. Whenever Kurt is now, whether there was an afterlife or there isn't, I wish him good.

Happy birthday, Kurt!

Btw, this is the photo book I purchased featuring Kurt on the cover.
