27 club


Today is Kurt Cobain's birthday. He would have been 45 years old but as we all know was cut down in the worst and self inflicted way. He then joined the 27 club along with Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Hendrix and Heath Ledger a confronting phenomeon. Fronting the biggest 90's grunge band of all time, Kurt came from a small town just outside Seattle in the southwest of America. He made rockstar status after dropping out of school all whilst playing guitar to keep himself out of "trouble". Nirvana will be forever as will his memory.

I'll leave it to the words of his mother Wendy O'Connor who spoke of Kurt's death after he joked about joining the 27 club "Now he's gone and joined that stupid club, I told him not to join that stupid club."

Happy birthday.
