Details: When Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain died at the height of his popularity and success in April of 1994 in the greenhouse of his home in Seattle, Washington, few could believe it. Inconsistencies in Kurt's death, including the fact that his suicide note may have been forged, that fingerprints had apparently been wiped from the crime scene, and that an unidentified individual had been using Kurt's credit card shortly after his death.

I met Kurt in 1986 during a telephone call. I was introduced to him by Andrew Wood.  Kurt and I continued to talk on the telephone until the week he died in 1994.  I started a blog to journal my memories of our shared conversations.
