Kurt Cobain Born: Grunge's Reluctant Voice of a Generation
Kurt Cobain was left-handed and played a right-handed guitar strung in reverse. He taught himself to play in Aberdeen, Washington, in a town with a sign at the city limits that read: Come As You Are. He didn't write that song there — he wrote it later — but the place shaped everything. Nevermind came out in September 1991 and knocked Michael Jackson off the top of the charts in January. He was dead by April 1994. He was twenty-seven.
