Hey everybody, I'm a huge Nirvana fan (as if you already couldn't tell by my name haha). Anyway, Kurt Cobain was a huge influence on my life. My interest in him proved to be a gateway into a lot of cool things like pro-women attitudes, liberal politics, not to mention some really awesome punk rock. When he killed himself, I imagine it must've been what it was like for the Baby Boomers to lose John Lennon. He was the voice of Generation X, my generation, and he's gone forever. So I wrote a play about him. It's a one man show told from the perspective of "Kurt" himself called "Ladies and Gentleman, Live From Purgatory, The Man Who Sold the World...KURT COBAIN!!!". The dialogue is made up of 95% actual KURT quotes from at least a hundred different interviews culled from about fifteen different sources. The set up is this: Kurt is in Purgatory for committing suicide. What is purgatory to the former rockstar? It's playing a "VH1 Storytellers" kind of thing where he talks about his life then plays his songs that pertain all culminating with his death by self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Anyway, heroin-abuse and suicide notwithstanding, I found a lot of inspiration in the life and work of Kurt Cobain. I hope you enjoy the play, it's rather too long I know, and there are plenty of grammatical errors I'm sure but as Kurt Cobain once said that captured the zeitgeist of Gen X "......oh well, whatever, nevermind."
