- Cobain, Kurt (1967-1994) (historylink.org)
Kurt Cobain, among the most famous musicians to emerge from the Pacific Northwest, established himself as the iconic rock ’n’ roll anti-hero of his time. Born in Aberdeen, Grays Harbor County, Cobain was an artistic kid from a broken home who loved rock music, played guitar from a young age, and in 1987 formed a band.
- While living under a bridge on the river after dropping out of high school and being kicked out of the family home, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain wrote the song “Something in the Way” about the experience. According to biographer Charles R. Cross, however, this was largely a myth created by Cobain.
And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 12:25 KJV
