Quotes
My lyrics are a big pile of contradictions. They're split between very
sincere opinions and feelings that I have, and sarcastic opinions and

to be passionate and sincere, but I also like to have fun and act like a
dork ~Kurt Cobain

Comments
Sharing my memories of conversations I had with Kurt Cobain from 1986 to 1994.
Michael Azerrad Interview
Analyzing his own songs at length reminded Kurt of something. "I'm just starting to realize why I had such a hard time with interviews when this record came out," he said. "People were going through the songs and trying to get me to explain them and I just don't even have any opinions on them. They are all basically saying the same thing: I have this conflict between good and evil and man and woman and that's about it."
