kurt cobain
Kurt Cobain overcame many challenges in his youth before becoming a musical standout. These challenges ranged from being brought up in town that he didn't fit into, to being rejected by his parents and as a result becoming homeless. All Kurt ever wanted to be was to be like everyone else, but he wasn't like everyone else. He managed to over come these difficulties in life, like many others and went on to be the most influential figures in popular music during the early 90's. Kurt Donald Cobain was born on February 20, 1967 to Wendy and Donald Cobain, in Aberdeen Washington. Aberdeen is still a small lumber town that is in economic depression, thus many people are unemployed. Taverns fill up early in the day because there is nothing else to do. The local suicide rate is well beyond the national average. One of the biggest growth industries in this county is the cultivation of marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms, which people grow in addition to or in place of their meager incomes. Most people who live in Aberdeen are highly involved in sports and if you are not then you do not fit in. Unfortunately for Kurt's popularity and the ability to fit in, he wasn't the least bit interested in sports, and g
In eleventh grade he began skipping classes. Moving around so much between high schools was only part of his academic problem. He couldn't stand his teachers. This was one reason why two weeks before graduation Kurt dropped out of high school. The other reason was because he had two and a half years credit to make up. Kurt did however show interest in his art classes. His art teacher, Mr. Hunter, entered Kurt in several college schlorship competitions and he had won two, but he still decided to drop out in May of 1985. Another friend of Osborne was a tall awkward boy named Krist Novoselic who, thanks to Osborne, underwent the same punk rock conversion that Kurt had. After Kurt used his aunt's four track recorder to record his first demo, he passed a tape along to Krist. Krist didn't listen to Kurt's demo tape at first, but when he finally listened to it he was thoroughly impressed by Cobain's talents as a singer and a song writer. Krist decided that the two should form a band. This was the start of Kurt overcoming two of his challenges, to make something of himself and to get out of Aberdeen. This was the start of Nirvana. In 1975 Kurt's parents were divorced. This had a lasting and devastating effect on him. He felt even more different than the social norm of Aberdeen because he only had a one parent family. As Wendy Cobain explained in Come As You Are, by Michael Azzured, "This is not such a big deal in a large town, but everyone in this town is watching and judging each other and this made Kurt feel very uncomfortable.''
