All Apologies

Aberdeen, Washington. This small town near the coast is the childhood home of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain (1967-1994). Naturally, Dad and I stopped by a small city park on the banks of the Wishkah River that’s become a shrine dedicated to the late great musician. It’s really too bad that Kurt chose to join the “27 Club” of rock ‘n’ roll greats who died young. (Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and many others come to mind.) I guess we can never truly know what’s going on in another person’s soul.

Being considerate types, we did not knock on doors of private homes in the neighborhood to ask stupid questions. There was homemade signage in the area to suggest that the locals are tired of it.

R.I.P. Kurt.
