Kurt Cobain

The life of a rock star starts out with just a few

lyrics scribbled on a piece of paper. With the added help of a

good voice, sound, hard work, and determination, someone can

become very successful in the competitive rock industry. Among

the successful, hardworking artists in this industry are Little

Richard, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and the Sex Pistols. Kurt

Cobain also can be included with these rock legends. Kurt

Cobain's life in music is supported by great talent, hardship,

and tragedy.

Kurt Cobain was born on the 20th of Febuary 1967 in

Abertine, Washington. When Kurt was only seven years old his

mother and father divorced. Following the divorce, Kurt was

moved between various family members and friends. As this

created for her. Tracy was said to be Kurt's "only true

love"("The Life").

Then Kurt met Courtney Love, who quickly became an important

part of Cobain's life. They married 24 January 1992 in Wakiki,

Hawaii. Six months later their daughter Frances Bean was born

("Biography"). Their relationship seemed to be great, but people

who where much closer to them said the relationship was

troublesome. It was obvious to them that Courtney was "playing

on his [Kurt's] sensitvity" ("The Life").

Another important aspect of Kurt Cobain's life is his music.
