Kurt Cobain (February 20, 1967 â April 5, 1994)
was an american musician, best known as the lead singer,
guitarist and songwriter of grunge band Nirvana. Kurt is almost universally characterized as a tortured soul, the voice of alienated young people in America and beyond.
Throughout most of his life, Cobain suffered from chronic bronchitis and intense physical pain due to an undiagnosed chronic stomach condition. In the midst of self medicating his physical, mental and emotional angusih, Cobain used heroin sporadically for several years. By the end of 1990, his use developed into a full-fledged addiction.
On April 8, 1994, Cobain's body was discovered at his Lake Washington home at the age of 27. (Cobain's body had been lying there for days.) Cobain was known to be suicidal. And, although Cobain's death was officially ruled as suicide, certain aspects about his death (inconclusive evidence) have led to speculation that his death was homicide and many people beleive he was murdered by wife, Courtney Love. His so called suicide note was written to Boddah, his imaginary friend.
Kurt was an introspective and highly empathic person, he struggled with depression, physical pain and the commercial success of Nirvana until the end.
The Beatles were an early and important musical influence on Cobain. Cobain expressed a particular fondness for John Lennon. Lennon's song "In my Life" was played at Cobain's funeral.
âWanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you areâ
"Humans are dumb. Ashamed to be a human."
"Punk is musical freedom. It's saying, doing and playing what you want. In Webster's terms, 'nirvana' means freedom from pain, suffering and the external world, and that's pretty close to my definition of Punk Rock."
âIf you die you're completely happy and your soul somewhere lives on. I'm not afraid of dying. Total peace after death, becoming someone else is the best hope I've got.â
"Peace, Love, Empathy."
- Kurt Cobain

1)Exeed: To be greater than standard, unity, truth, and goodness.
2)Be greater in scope: rise above, go beyond ordinary limits; A reeling experience
3)Overcome restriction/ "self-transcendence": Rock out your own way, be creative;a non-material self-consciousness that is outside of the world.
going beyond a prior form or state of oneself.
1)The Doors were able to "Transcend" their audience, to an emotional orgasm through the medium of words and music.
2)Riding the waves of uncompromising, primal, !poetic energy that *The Doors, *Led Zeppelin, *Pink Floyd "transcended"...
3)*The mentioned artists above > These talented musicians "self- transcended" by rocking their own poetic energy, and creativity through their music.
They didn't conform to society, they were liberating; and went beyond the normal state of consciousness expressed through their art.

The Doors kill only to clear the way for rebirth; they hint at the eternal rhythmic balance of life and death.
Four Doors: John Densmore, drums. Ray Manzarek, organ. Robby Kreiger, guitar. And of course, Jim Morrison.
The Doors kill only to clear the way for rebirth; they hint at the eternal rhythmic balance of life and death. Four Doors: John Densmore, drums. Ray Manzarek, organ. Robby Kreiger, guitar. And of course, Jim Morrison. Morrison becomes intoxicated by the danger of his poetry, and, sexual in an almost psychopathic way. His richly textured voice taunts and teases and threatens and throbs. With incredible vocal control and the theatrical projection of a Shakespearean star, he plays with the audiences emotions. The Doors embodied the zeitgeist, with all of its spiritual awareness, and liberating transcendence of obsolete cultural values, but embodied it with a potency concentration and theatrical vehemence that was totally unexpected. They flaunted rather than soft-pedaled the threat that the new culture presented to the old culture, and both cultures were left rather reeling by the experience. Today, the majority of American icons are too busy riding to the hounds of commerce or favour, rather then riding the wave of uncompromising, primal, poetic energy that The Doors offered. When the Doors performed it was a religious experience between them and the audience. They were able to move people to a kind of emotional orgasm through the medium of words and music.
