Being in Kurt's hometown must be very special. Knowing that he was right there and stepped on the same ground than you... it sure makes you feel so connected with Kurt, and demysify the character that the media has been selling about him all this time. Like if you traveled back a few decades you would porbably meet him there being a child, no Nirvana, no shit, just a dude doing whatever.
It was a strangely haunting experience. It's such a dank, run-down place that I had only ever seen in Nirvana picture books. Actually being there felt very strange indeed. Driving around that town whilst listening to In Bloom and seeing with my own eyes the characters that Kurt was referring to was like *really* hearing that music for the first time. It's an experience that will stay with me.
@@diegorojas9307 it is kinda ruined sadly, there is graffiti al over the place I was there a few days ago and It felt really haunted in a way. Standing under the same bridge where Kurt sat 40 or so years ago. It was quiet with some occasional car sounds
My husband and I stopped there with our kids in 2021 and it was magical. Not only for me and my husband but for my kids, they loved listening to his music all the way to the beach and back ❤ forever missing it here
This place is on my wish list for places to visit before I die. I would also love to see his home in Seattle where he lived with Courtney Love.. I was a huge fan, I still am. I saw him rise to greatness and I cried the day he passed on by suicide or murder but he is immortalized through his music, so this place would be far from boring, depressing or whatever adjectives people are using to describe this surreal place because to me it's about Kurt Cobain and where he drew inspiration to write his poetically brilliant songs.
so what? is there really something wrong with taking a drive to a park to smoke a joint in honor of someone you looked up to? its a pretty tame action all in all. its not like we're all dying our hair blonde, buying lefty fender strats and wearing flannel, dude. its just a fucking park.
@@jasonroyce3587 Dude, I would love to go there one day, he was my inspiration to play and write music. You took that the wrong way. I get chills even thinking about going to the park next to his house.
I was there just a few days ago. Aberdeen is a depressing place. I talked to some people that grew up with Kurt, Krist and Robert novoselic, Buzz Osborne, and Mike Dillard (first Melvins drummer). It was somewhat surreal. The feelings about Kurt seem to be mixed amongst the locals.
The town was almost forced to build this memorial because they don't really want to be associated with Kurt, because you know, he was just "a yonkie that commited suicide"... And some people in the local music scene thinks he was a sellout or something
So sorry they don’t appreciate his music , in spite of what kind of person he was. He was not a criminal or someone to be ashamed of. He was just a person who suffered in so many ways.
@@enriquepastor3626 thats weak. theyd rather be solely associated with heroin, homeless people and joblessness? sounds like they deserve the poverty they endure. sounds like they want it. not saying they should try to capitalize on kurt but jesus you might as well embrace the only good thing that ever came from that shitty little nothing town. and no shade, my town is a shitty little nothing town too.
Still feels lonely very dark! I would love to visit these places of the so called kurts past childhood home! Did you visit also the pear street house in Olympia?
I have surprised that after 30 years that that area hasn't been, you know, kinda run down and forgotten. I was a huge fan and still am of Nirvana but those times has sorta come and gone.
I have very mixed emotions about establishing a park in someone's name, but letting it go to shit. That man put the Seattle music scene on the map, but you can't keep his little, tiny memorial area attended to?
I would say it almost fits to let it go to shit, not in a disrespectful way, but it embodies the character and emotions of him. He was a very lost and sad man
Have you heard of Pearl Jam, Queensyrche, Heart, Sir Mix-A-Lot, Bing Crosby, Mia Zappata, Alice in Chains,?... Just to name a few? I appreciate Kurt's talent, BUT he did not put us on the map.
sofia, there is a lot more graffiti and one of those benches isnt there now and, everything is kinda beat up. Also the “something in the way” poster thing was vandalized to the point where is says “nothing in the way”

Nirvana to me represents the glorification of depression and self destruction. Especially amongst idiotic young teens in high school. Most of you should know what I mean. The world is a beautiful place and it is truly a revolutionary act to live a happy life. Don't let yourselves be misled or fooled. Rock n roll has been coopted a loooooong time ago..
@novax people who refuse to be influenced by depressing and self destructive junkies? I may be in the minority but so are millionaires tho? Also, I thought punk was supposed to be about thinking for yourself and living up to your own beliefs despite what anybody else thinks. Despite the fact that most people desperately try to fit in nowadays even the so called "free thinkers" I'm not surprised one bit to find people upset about a man who's encouraging people to ACTUALLY think for themselves and to question their leaders and idols. Especially depressed suicidal junkies.
