Today is the 15th year anniversary of when Kurt Cobain's body was found. I listened to a lot of Nirvana today. I still love their music. I remember how devastated I felt that day when I heard the news. It was probably the first tragic thing I had witnessed that I felt somewhat connected to in my life. I loved that music so much. Sometimes I wonder what other music we are missing out on because of his death.
Almost every year on the anniversary I have done something to remember Nirvana and Kurt; watch videos, listen to music, etc. After some time had passed many people thought I was strange (maybe still do) and my memorials started to be just by myself instead of with friends.
I remember the first time I heard Nirvana. I was in art class in junior high and a friend, I don't remember who, gave me a copy of nevermind on a cassette tape. it was the greatest thing I had ever heard, and probably still the greatest today.
I'm thankful for my sister who knew that I loved nirvana, and took me to my first concert on December 18, 1993. I'm so glad I got to see Nirvana. Thank You Rachel.

Thanks for sharing Jon. I had never thought of the amount of art that we don't have because of Kurt's early death. Enjoy your memorial.
Talk about a great sister.
I remember one of the first times I heard them on the radio - it was smells like teen spirit - I remember I was driving north on Elk Grove-Florin Road... I recall thinking, "this is a good song, refreshing".
