Hello, testing. One, two...

Go-go juice.

- = hi.
- Or motion lotion.

Beaver. Female.

Welcome
to manned space exploration.

The Mercury spacecraft is
six feet in diameter and nine feet tall.

Cos I don't like your face.

Hey.

Hey, come 'ere.

I want...

I want you to see something.

Kurt's brain was just constantly
going.

He was always thinking about something.

I mean, there was always
something going on.

You could just see it.

Party on, Wayne.

It was awe-inspiring, but it was like,
"oh, well, I guess I'm not..." You know?

“I guess I'm not all that special.”

But, you know...
But then, as I grew up,

I'm, like, I'm so glad I don't...
I never got that genius brain.

Maybe he just felt praise
was hard for him to take, maybe,

and he didn't know how to handle that.

So he would downplay it all the time.

But that was his goal,
was to get to as perfect as he could.

As good as he could get.

Write as well as he could,
sing as well as he could,

play as well as he could.
And then when it all came together...

It's so... I can't sit...
It's too painful.

This is too painful.

You're gonna make it, man.

With the support of his friends
and family, he's gonna make it.

And you see the art,

I mean, a lot of his messages
are as plain as day.

You just... I'm not even gonna say
what they are, but you can see it.

And it's all there. And, you know,
in 20/20 hindsight, you're like,

"oh, my god, why didn't I see that?"
Or, "I should've said something."

But, you know, it's like...

well, America was booming after
the war and everybody had everything.

Even if you didn't have much,
you still had enough.

Aberdeen was a logging town
and a mill town.

And it was booming.

♪ Wake up, little susie

you saw everybody downtown
paying their bills or shopping.

It was a lovely, awesome place
to raise children.

My kids loved that town.

so, Don was working
at a gas station over in hoquiam.

You know, he had
the black horn-rimmed glasses

and his ears kind of stuck out a little

and he had the crew cut,
and that's not good on anybody.

I kind of helped him with everything.

He didn't really know
what he was doing with style.

I guess, like, we were more friends.

I didn't know what falling in love was,
so I had never experienced it.

So I just thought
because I liked him, I loved him.

And so he got me an engagement ring
and we got engaged.

You know, it was fun!

I mean, it was like, "ok,
all those problems are behind me."

“Now I'm gonna have babies!"

And I just couldn't wait
to get pregnant.

I mean, that was the goal.

And so I went to dr ehrhart
and he said, "you're so young."

"You just need to get... get on
your feet with being a housewife."

And, you know,
I just didn't listen to anybody.

I used to think,
"why did I marry Don cobain?"

And I was, like, no, everything
really did happen for a reason.

Kurt had to be born.
It was... it was a must.

He was the first grandchild
on both sides.

Everybody was coming over constantly.

I can't even describe
what a magnet he was.

People just came to him.

I was head over heels in love
with that child.

He was so kind
and so worried about people.

You know, if they were ok,
or if somebody got hurt.

And then, on top of that,

he started singing and playing guitar.

And once he could draw,
he drew all the time.

- Let's sing now, mom.
- Ok. Say who you are.

Who are you?

Who are you, Kurt?

Who are you? Who are you?

Goodbye! I'm Kurt cobain.

- Yay!
- Yay! Go! Go!

Kurt, he was full of energy.
Always busy.

And I had this old rocking chair
in the corner of the front room.

He'd be upside down

with his head hanging off
where your legs would be

and his feet up on the back
of the rocking chair

going 90 miles an hour in it.

Going so fast and it would be
hitting the back of the wall,

and he'd be repeating everything
verbatim off sesame street.

♪ Would you like to hear
my voice

♪ sprinkled with emotion

and I thought,
"before I have this next baby,

we've gotta try to get this one
to calm down."

So I take him to the paediatrician,
dr fulton.

He did a rapid eye movement test
with a flashlight in his eyes,

and he went,
"ok, we got trouble here."

And he said, "ok,
I'm gonna give you this tablet."

And I believe it was
something like ritalin.

So I gave it to him that night
and, oh, my god!

He just went off the rails.

Kurt, he was hyper.

Full of energy. Always busy.

You know, jumping off of things,
knocking things over.

Anything that had to do
with being a normal child.

And Don, he didn't know
how to handle that.

He was one of those kind of people

that just thought that children
should be seen and not heard

and shouldn't cause any trouble.

I mean, he belittled and ridiculed Kurt.

And Kurt would be ashamed.

I mean, it really hurt him
to be embarrassed.

Then, I don't know.

I just... I started to mature.

You know, I started getting older,
and kind of looking back at...

Kind of the song
that may have even stirred this in me,

is that all there is?

You know, is this my life?
I haven't done anything with my life.

In those days,
people didn't get divorced.

I mean, I didn't know anybody
that was divorced.

You just... you were in the soup.

You didn't think about divorce.

Kurt was nine at the time.

And everybody was talking about it.

It just embarrassed him to death
that we had gotten divorced.

He took light bulbs
out of all the lights

and locked the baby-sitter and Kim
outside and just became really unruly.

And I said, "this is not going
to happen any more."

And so I took him
over to his dad's house.

She couldn't handle him.

So, I took him.

I liked it, really,
you know, having him,

him and I together like that.

And I think there's one thing
that I said at one time

that I was never
gonna get married again.

And I think he took that for a word.

Then I met Jennifer and we got married

and, you know, he had a stepbrother
and a sister and then our son, Chad.

He wanted to be in a family, period.

And I felt that just from the beginning.

The game nights that we had,
that was really important to him.

You know, if we didn't want to do it
on a Wednesday night,

you know, he'd say,
"nope! We have to. That's what we..."

He just... I could feel that
he just really liked that time,

but he always wanted to win.

And if he didn't win, he was mad.

He wanted to be the most loved

and it just wasn't the ideal world
that he thought a family should be.

S50, he just decided he wasn't gonna do
anything anybody said.

He'd just lay on the couch and watch TV.

Go down in his room and play the guitar.

And then he started just doing
really mean things to the kids.

And then, it just got so...

I think it was kind of my fault in a way

because I couldn't deal
with it any more.

And I told Don he was
gonna have to get out of the house.

He went to Wendy's brother's
for a while.

And with my mom and dad,
he even lived with them for a while,

you know, then he'd come back to us
and still have problems.

It was like nobody...

After a couple of weeks,
they wanted him out.

I think the sad part of the whole thing

is that Kurt just really wanted
to be with his mom.

He just was in so much pain

that he, you know,
took it out on his mom

and took it out on his dad

and took it out on his siblings.

But it's almost like he didn't...

He didn't feel worthy
because he was rejected, basically.

And I don't know how anybody deals

with having your whole family
reject you.

In a community that stresses
macho male sexual stories

as the highlight of all conversation,

I was an underdeveloped,
immature little dude that never got laid

and was constantly razzed.

Oh, poor little kid.

It bothered me, probably more so
because I was horny

and frequently
had to make up stories like,

"oh, when I went on vacation,
I met this chick

and we fucked and she loved it,"
etcetera, etcetera.

This typical pubescent problem

was an effector
in the height of my problems

with my father and stepmom.

You know, the typical
wicked-stepmom story.

And so, I moved to both grandparents'

and four sets of aunts' and uncles'
and so forth and so on within the year.

And in eighth grade, my mom
had no choice to take me in

because my dad packed my stuff

and drove me to her house in the morning
and left me there.

She was pissed.

I accumulated quite a healthy complex,
not to mention a complexion.

Then one day, I discovered the most
ultimate form of expression ever:

Marijuana. Oh, boy! Pot.

I could escape all day long and not have
routine nervous breakdowns.

Trevor was a guy I hated
but resorted to becoming friends with

because he was the only person
I could get pot from.

He was the kingpin.

Trevor, Ace, John and Darren,

all white-trash, lowlife scum
of the earth, according to the jocks,

had been going to this girl's house
after school, and they invited me.

We got to the door
and a very fat girl let us in.

It wasn't obvious to me
for over an hour

that this girl seemed kind of quiet

until one of the guys pointed out
that she was in a special ed class.

I'm sure a lot of kids would call her
a retard and some just slow,

and at the time, and still to this day,
I would call her quiet and illiterate

but not retarded.

The object of the guys who had been
going there for the past month

was to steal booze from the downstairs
basement den of her house.

While others distracted her,

one would go down and take a fifth
and then exit out the downstairs.

So we'd do this routine every other day

and got away with it
for, oh, about a month.

And during that month

happened to be the epitome
of my mental abuse from my mother.

It turned out that pot didn't help me
escape my troubles too well any more,

and I was actually enjoying
doing rebellious things

like stealing booze
and busting store windows,

and nothing ever mattered.

I decided within the next month,

I'll not sit on my roof
and think about jumping,

but I'll actually kill myself.
And I wasn't going out of this world

without actually knowing
what it was like to get laid.

So one day after school,
I went to the girl's house alone

and invited myself in
and she offered me some twinkies

and I sat on her lap
and I said, "let's fuck."

And I touched her tits
and she went into her bedroom

and got undressed in front of me,

and I watched and realised
that it was actually happening.

So I tried to fuck her
but didn't know how

and asked her
if she'd ever done this before.

And she said, "a lot of times,"
mainly with her cousin.

I got grossed out very heavily

with how her vagina smelled
and her sweat reeked, so I left.

My conscience grew to where
I couldn't go to school for a week,

and when I went back,
I got in-house suspension for skipping,

and that day, the girl's father came in

screaming and accusing someone
of taking advantage of his daughter.

And so during lunch, a rumour started,
and by the next day,

everyone was waiting for me
to yell and cuss and spit at me,

calling me "the retard fucker".

I couldn't handle the ridicule,

so I got high and drunk
and walked down to the train tracks

and laid down and put two big pieces
of cement on my chest and legs

and I waited for the 11 o'clock train.

And the train came closer
and closer and closer,

and it went on the next track
besides me instead of over me.

The tension from school
had an effect on me

and the train scared me enough
to try to rehabilitate myself,

and my lifting weights and mathematics
seemed to be improving,

so I became less manically depressed,

but still never had any friends
because I...

I hated everyone,
for they were so phoney.

When Kurt was about 15,
he moved back in with mom and I.

It was a struggle.

You know, it was still him
wanting to rebel

and getting stoned
and going out with his friends

and not wanting to, you know, do chores

and, you know, he was always
wanting to, like, just do his own thing.

He wanted normalcy.

He wanted the mom, the dad
and the kids, and everything happy.

But then, he didn't,
cos he kinda fought against it.

So he fought against
what he really wanted.

- Hello? Hello?
- You still there?

Yeah. I'm putting you
on speaker phone, though.

Ok. Are you recording this
or writing it down?

Yeah, I'm recording and writing.

People don't realise
where we really came from, you know?

What an isolated hellhole it really is.

I mean, if witch burnings had been,
like, legal, we'd all be dead now.

- You know?
- Fuck, yeah.

Did you ever see that movie
over the edge?

- Yeah!
- I mean, god!

That movie had such an effect on me.

Ok, you guys. You are
to take these home to your parents.

It's to let them know about
a special emergency meeting

to discuss the problems
about you people.

I love that movie.

I always wanted to do that
in front of you.

Me, too. I tried, you know.
I wanted to be a vandal,

and I wanted to hold everyone captive
in the school.

Everybody that's ever messed
with me in one room.

That'd be just about everybody in town.

We should go down there
and tell them all to go to hell.

- Yeah!
- Come on, man!

I don't know how many of us
are willing to admit

just how deep in trouble
some of the kids in this city are.

Has anyone ever sat down
and talked to these kids?

I talk to them six hours a day
until I'm blue in the face.

I spend more time
with your kids than you people do.

You think those kids
are interested in learning?

You ought to come in and see
what goes on in the classroom.

God, what torture, you know?

No, I quit the last two months

I was so withdrawn by that time,

and I was so antisocial
that I was almost insane, you know?

I felt so different and so crazy
that people just left me alone.

♪ No recess!

Did Kurt find the underground

or did the underground find him?

I think he went in search of it
and I think they found each other.

He was searching for whatever
made him feel like he wasn't alone

and that he wasn't so different.

When did you first hear punk rock?

You know, I'd wanted
to hear punk rock forever.

Of course, they didn't have it
in our record shop in aberdeen.

But then finally, buzz Osborne,
who'd been a friend of mine off and on,

made me a couple of compilation tapes.

And I was completely blown away.

I would lip sync
to those tapes and I wore them out

and I'd play them every day, you know.
It was the greatest thing.

It expressed the way
I felt socially and politically

and it was the anger
that I felt, the alienation.

And I realised that this is
what I've always wanted to do.

♪ I don't like you anyway

♪ seal it in a box

if we played together
in the house for a couple of hours

and if two people stopped by,
we considered that a gig, you know.

A show. That was good enough.

We had an audience
of two people, you know.

Locals who hated our guts
and thought it was terrible music.

I think I was 18 or 19 years old
and Kurt was, like, 17.

But he liked punk rock music, and so
that, you know, piqued my interest.

And then I noticed
what a good artist he was.

And so he was working
at the time as a janitor,

but he'd always have to, like,
do some kind of art,

usually defacing something.

He never had, like, idle hands.

It just came out of him.
He had to express himself.

Well, who taught you
how to play guitar anyway?

Brilliant.
Brilliant improvisational.

Wow, Jerry Garcia
would really like this.

- I'm gonna send him a tape.
- Send it to Jerry.

You just have to sprinkle it
with patchouli or something.

He'll dig right into it.

He really didn't want to live
with his mom or his dad.

He wanted to be on his own.

So he moves into this dump.

He wasn't making a lot of money,

and I think he was scared,
not being able to pay his own way.

And in the hallway outside the
apartment, it was completely graffitied.

Scooby doo. Rocky and bullwinkle.

But it was pornographic.

There was just no way he was
gonna be the nine-to-five work guy

that comes home with the briefcase
and wife cooks him dinner.

I mean, that just wasn't ever
gonna happen.

But he wanted some type of connection.

This is love, this is love.

This is shitting and pissing
and fucking all over each other.

Licking and spitting up
gerber baby food.

Not worrying if the plastic tarp
is on the floor cos, baby, this is love.

Well, I know some people
will say that...

That I treated Kurt maternally,
took care of him.

But I like to think it was more
I was trying to nurture him

rather than take care of him.

Trying to nurture who he was
and get him to...

Let him do his art,
let him do his music

and encourage him to get better
at it as opposed to trying to stifle it.

But also not try to be the mom,

but trying to be
a nurturing girlfriend or friend.

We met at a party and, you know,
I liked him. I had a crush on him.

And then finally someone told him,

"don't you get that she likes you?"
Or something.

Cos he was just kinda
clueless about it.

I liked that he was funny.
He made me laugh.

He wasn't afraid to be,
you know, goofy or silly.

But mostly we just had
a good time hanging out.

I think he might have been a bit angry
at the way he was treated at school

and angry with his mom and with his dad.

I think it was not so much
that it was hard for him to accept love

but the fact that maybe
he was afraid of getting hurt.

He was living in this tiny little house
in aberdeen.

I just said, "why don't you just
move in with me and be in Olympia?"

So we moved in together.

It was nice to have someone
to share the evening with

as well as the daytime.

Sitting on the couch at the same time,
each reading a book.

It was just...
You kind of felt grown up

as opposed to just being still,
you know, a teenager.

I'd like to think he was happy.

We were very much
in love with each other,

because he wanted to be a musician.

He wanted, you know,
to get his band going.

He was ambitious. He didn't want to
just be playing in a bar band, you know,

and play music that way.
He wanted to be a success.

Good luck, good luck, man. Good luck.

Part the red seas.

Ok, thanks,
everybody, for coming.

When I met him,
he was a handyman.

And then he got a job as a janitor,

cleaning, like, doctor's offices and
dentist's offices and things like that.

But, yeah, he just ended up
not having another job after that.

- So who would support him?
- Me.

And what would he do all day
while you were at work?

It was funny cos sometimes he'd just
sit there and watch TV for four hours

and you'd think he wasn't creating,

but he'd be playing guitar while he was
doing that or think up stuff later

and then you'd go out for a few hours
and you'd come back

and there was a painting on the wall or
there's a big comic strip or whatever;

he wrote a song, you know,
and recorded it.

Described them

This is, like, fucking rad,

Hi, my name is Dana.

I caught nirvana in their dressing room
on their recent tour.

At what point
are you on this tour right now?

We're at the point
of kicking each other's ass.

I would imagine that the
constant party atmosphere on the road

would create a great deal
of physical and mental stress.

How do you deal with it?

We prepared for the rock
and roll lifestyle. We can kick it, man.

You know what'? We should move in
our stuff before it starts raining.

Yeah.

A hundred percent humidity
here in fort worth, Texas.

Does success ever frighten you?

Go in the Van! Hey!

No, because we actually want
to become more successful

so we can have a comfortable life.

Ok, man. Take it away, buddy.

Don't worry about me. I know this is
kind of a strange angle, but it'll work.

Yes. That's a big camera, man.
That's not...

How would you describe the music
you play and the things you do?

Well, the things we do is just,

we play a very powerful,
high-energy type of rock and roll.

We move around on stage a lot, and...

Just scream with an abandon, I guess.

What makes you
want to be nirvana?

What makes us want to be nirvana?

We're nirvana because
we're not aerosmith or something.

Or the vegetables. Or...

What's the future of nirvana'?

The future of nirvana? I don't know.

Hopefully try to write
some more good songs.

That's all we care about
is writing good music.

If we get popular or not,
it doesn't matter.

The music's more important.

We don't have
any more songs, so this is the last one.

and they gave us a bad review.

They said it was like lynyrd skynyrd
but without the flares.

Kurt was really hurt with that
and he was telling me that.

He goes... and I said,
"don't worry about it."

"That's just... they're just scenesters,
they're hipsters or..."

You know, "screw them!” or whatever.

But, you know,
Kurt hated being humiliated.

He hated it.

He hated it!

If he ever thought he was humiliated,
then you'd see the rage come out.

And so he was also very careful about,

and stubborn about how the way the art
and the work was presented

because he didn't want to be humiliated.

I could be humiliated, like...
I humiliate myself or whatever.

But not Kurt. No.

He had really violent dreams a lot.

People would be breaking
into his house, trying to kill him,

and he'd have to stab them.

Once in a while it might be
his family who was trying to kill him.

But that was just really rare.

Usually it was someone else
coming after him that he didn't know.

I asked... I thought
he should try to talk to someone,

but without, you know, much money,
that really wasn't gonna happen.

Kurt would get stomach aches a lot
and say his stomach hurt.

You know, he'd be feeling fine
and then he'd get out of the car

and just be, like, "I gotta throw up.”

I know he went to the doctor once
or twice, but it didn't really work.

Most of the time,
I sing right from my stomach.

Right where my stomach pain is.

Every time I've had an endoscope,
they'd find a red irritation.

I would sing and cough up blood.

It's, like, this is no way
to live a life.

I love to play music
but something's not right.

So I decided to medicate myself.

How much of that pain would you
say

actually fuels what
you're writing and playing?

See, that's a scary question

because I think it probably helps,
you know.

But I would give up everything
to have good health.

But then again, I'm always afraid
that if I lost the stomach problem,

I might not be as creative.

There's a journal entry
where Kurt mentions doing heroin

for the first time in 1987
when he was living with you.

He totally had kept that from me cos I
totally would've talked him out of it.

In fact, he used to make fun
of some of the people in Seattle

that were using that
and say it was really stupid.

Cos I've been told before that
he was doing it when we were dating,

but I'm, like,
he didn't do it around me, ever.

I never found anything, so...

I can't really say exactly
why we broke up.

I just know that we were fighting more

and he was staying away
from the house more.

I think he just pretty much
didn't love me as much as he used to.

Or felt... he just felt like maybe
he was moving ahead and I wasn't.

Kurt cobain"s here.

You know, Kurt cobain from aberdeen.

- What's going on, baby?
- Not a damn thing.

You called up and said,
"I wanna play some songs."

So I said, "rockin' good news!"

Bloody brilliant!

I just wrote most of the lyrics
this evening.

- In the car, on the way up here?
- While I was driving with one foot.

- Uh-huh?
- Yeah, that's what I did.

I just thought
I would just come here and say hi.

Well, let her rip.

Ok, is there any major-label
interest in you at the present?

- Can you say?
- Not at the moment.

Anybody not affiliated with CBS.

Would you consider changing?

We're considering it because
we wanna get as much as we can.

Well, you're this interesting mix of,

as you say, you're one of
the laziest people you know,

but you're also ambitious
for a lazy person.

You think so?

How does it feel to be
surrounded by so many people

telling you that you soon
are doing very well?

I think it's embarrassing
to have so many expectations.

A totally superficial label
to put on a band,

to state that
they're the next big thing.

Because, you know,
that's not our goal in the first place.

People are putting that tag on us
without us really wanting to do that.

You're not prepared for that?

Not prepared'? Nope.
Because we're not going to be.

We're prepared to destroy our careers
if it happens.

End of July or August,
he's home.

And he comes downstairs
and he's in his little whitey tighties.

No shirt. Barefoot.

No pants other than his undies and...
Very Don cobain.

That's another thing
I got sick of looking at.

And he's standing there with this tape
in his hand. I go, "what's that?"

And he goes, "it's the master cut
to my new album.”

“Can I put it on the stereo?"

And I go,
"yeah! And turn it up! Up, up, up."

Because I listen to music really loud.

And I look at him
and I go, "oh, my god!"

"Oh, my god!" And I almost start crying.

I mean, not from happiness.
From fear. It was fear.

And I just went,
"this is going to change everything."

And I said, "you better buckle up,
cos you are not ready for this."

And for someone like yourself,
when you're, sort of,

let's say your dreams come true,

all the worst aspects of them
come true as well.

It's, like, be careful what

Yeah.

How do you sort of deal

you know, being pulled apart

the hottest new rock band in the country
right now may well be nirvana.

The hottest band at the moment.

The band it seems
everybody's talking about.

People, like, really seem
to be getting into nirvana right now.

Do you see when you go out
and play shows

that the crowds are getting different?

- Isn't it pretty overwhelming?
- Everybody wants to be hip.

- And so that's what it is, then?
- Everyone wants to be accepted.

Yeah? Ok. Cool.

I've just heard that you've sold
600,000 albums in the United States.

Does that make it platinum,
something like that?

It makes it gold.

It makes it a free gift
to my mother for Christmas.

- Exactly!
- Don't have to pay for a gift.

What's mom getting for Christmas?
I guess she's getting a gold record.

Does that mean you guys
are, like, rich now?

Hell, no! We're so far
from having any money.

I mean, we get per diem, I guess.

Do you care what critics think?

I've never heard as many
sort of glowing criticism...

- Oh, glowing!
- Does that make you feel good?

Well, I mean, it's better
than being slammed, that's for sure.

But, you know,

if I was reading the same thing about
another band, I wouldn't believe it.

No way.

I'm not gonna believe some journalist

that's just spewing about some band
that he thinks changed his life or...

You can't believe everything you read.

I mean, all you have to do is...
Music is a personal experience.

You put the music on
and whatever you get out of it,

you know, if it's good or bad.

If it's bad, you don't like it,
you just walk away from it, you know.

And if it's good, it works for you...

- You know this lighter...
- What the hell.

There are probably a lot of kids
who hear your songs

and actually feel, like, kinship,

whether you're having trouble
with parents or with school

or, you know, the usual
dysfunctional stuff that happens.

But when you're up there,

do you have any sense
of who you're playing to?

I'm playing to kids in general.

I mean, it doesn't matter
where they come from.

We have the same problems

and we all basically have
the same thoughts, you know?

♪ One baby to another says

♪ I'm lucky to have met you

♪ I don't care what you think

♪ I like you

you guys don't like explaining
anything to do with your music.

What's the problem
with going on camera and just...

There's nothing to be said.
It's all in the music, man.

It's all in the music.
It's all in the meat!

You don't think that people
that are fans of you

would like to hear what you had
in mind, maybe? Or what you were...

I'd rather hear what they
have in mind, you know?

Like, how they interpret it.

In teen spirit,
you seem to complain

about the apathy of our generation.

And do you share
this lack of engagement yourself?

- What, being apathetic?
- Yeah.

- Sure.
- Why?

Why? Because we sleep too much.

- I mean, just say it.
- Just read it.

Hello! Stay tuned for more...

Ew, nirvana on abc in concert!

- You want to do more?
- One more?

Yeah, do one more.

interviews are worthless! Let's go!

- What do you think about interviews?
- What do I think?

Did you hear my reaction when
he asked me if I wanted to do one?

- Yes.
- I said, "'- - - - no."

I'm a hardcore nirvana fan myself.

Yeah? Is this a disease
you've had long? Any cure for it?

He's talking
from his experiences.

He's talking
from his experience?

- Well, he's got lousy experience, sir.
- It was not his goal

to make millions of dollars when he made
the stuff. He's writing about his life.

Well, his life needs to see
a therapist or a minister,

and it doesn't need to be
on millions of cds

for kids to listen to and identify with

and have more of their despair
and their hopelessness emphasised

by the tragedy of this man's life.

I guess each individual
is gonna deal with it

the way they're gonna deal with it.
I get, you know...

It was kind of traumatic
to be famous all of a sudden,

especially coming from
this complete obscurity

and just being the, like,
number-one band in the world.

So I do things like withdraw,
drink, you know.

I'm lucky. I had beer and wine,
you know. Kurt had heroin.

Given how volatile and
complicated

things were for Kurt around that time,

why do you think he chose that moment
to start his relationship with Courtney?

I went... I had this relationship
with this person, this woman.

And I just kind of wanted
to build this home for myself,

cos my home, growing up,
had fallen apart,

so I wanted to build a home.

And I think that Kurt
wanted to do that, too.

He wanted to build a home because
his home and his family fell apart.

So when Courtney
came into his life, they had...

She was interesting,
she was artistic, intellectual.

And, you know, she did drugs, too.

But that was all part
of the package of building a home.

Check, check, check,
check, check, check, check.

Let's watch their sound check, shall we?

Maybe it'll bug them
and they'll play really bad.

So you're having a relationship
with the guitar player? No?

It was a short love affair?

I don't know what it was. Honestly.

- It's over?
- I think, yeah.

- What happened?
- I don't care.

We're making a movie.

- Did you curl your hair?
- You don't like it?

It's nicer when it's straight

because it doesn't make your face
look so round.

Oh, my god!

One caveat. I had already done heroin,
beat the thing, had a rule,

I loved it still, but I didn't have
a fantasy that he had.

He had a fantasy. His fantasy was,

“I'm gonna get to three million dollars,
then I'm gonna be a junkie.”

That was his... those are his words.

The money,
the attention, the hype.

Kurt cobain,
an overnight spokesman

for many disaffected young people.

A spokesman for a generation.

To his generation, he's
the closest they have to John Lennon.

The money, the attention,
the hype, the hysteria.

It's not my fault.
I never wanted the fame.

Seattle's own nirvana
finds itself at the very top

of billboard's pop albums chart
with its album nevermind,

while guitarist Kurt cobain
just got engaged to Courtney love,

front woman of an la band called hole.

According to rolling stone,

cobain fell ill with a stomach problem
during their tour of four continents

and had to cancel
a number of dates in england.

There's been speculation
of summer tour plans,

but so far only the next
reading festival in August.

Nirvana is now retreating
from doing interviews.

Whether it's a reaction
to too much too soon,

the band would rather
their music speak for itself

than be knighted
as spokesmen for a generation.

Right after you guys got
married,

they were the biggest band in the world,
and Kurt decided to take six months off.

So, officially, in the story
that's out in the world,

he took six months off
of their touring schedule?

He could've toured the world
and made a shitload of money.

Oh, I see.

It seemed he wanted to stay
in an apartment with you and do heroin.

Yeah, he wanted to stay in an apartment
and do heroin and paint.

And play his guitar.
That's what he wanted to do.

Hi.

Hi.

This is our house.
This is where we live.

I know it looks disgusting now,
but sometimes it's nice.

I have to really clean it,
cos no one else fucking does.

Ok, this is the toilet.

This is...

- This is me.
- Courtney.

- Hello?
- Do we have a Turkey baster?

What?

Why do you think that everyone thinks
you're the good one and I'm the bad one?

Because I know
how to use my illusion.

Where are you going?

I'm going into my living room!
I paid for this.

Put on the dancing merry chimp!

So is this the living room that that guy
described in rolling stone magazine?

Nothing but a twin reverb amp
and Teddy bears to keep him company.

- Where's Eric?
- The chimp.

Hi, honey.

- Hi.
- I love you, love.

You are so cute.
Here, Eric, you film for a while.

This is the Kurt cobain action figure.

Secret coded message
in his guitar.

Kurt, I think he looks remarkably
a lot like you. Look at that.

I've had that
since I was a child.

And he's playing what looks
to be a sort of mosrite-y, vintage...

baby?

Oh, god, yes.

Yes, we wanted to have a baby.
And I conceived Frances in December.

So I was pregnant
when I got married, yes.

We were all we had,

so making a family as fast as possible
was, you know, important. You know?

So, I mean, if I had had more time,

I'm telling you, I'd have
had more kids with him.

Why do you feel so bad?

- Why?
- Uh-huh.

Because I want to.
It's my fault.

- All my fault.
- You're beautiful.

- 1 think you're really cute.

sassy readers. I married Bobby sherman.

Do you think they do this to me?

What?

Do you think they do this to me

They don't?

No. They make up

Even if they're like you,
you still can't trust them.

you're trying to say, but I don't agree.

I'm a new man. I'm a man for the "90s.
I'm ward cleaver.

And then, you being you,
you'd be all sensitive,

and you'd go,
"how are we gonna tell Courtney?"

Meanwhile, I've ruined my career,
ruined my life,

become the most hated woman

You were already the most hated woman

What?

You and roseanne barr tied for being

Ok, I married Bobby sherman,

I'm the most hated woman,

not played the reading festival this
year when I could've kicked your ass.

You should still play

Oh, yeah. So I should just play

because it'd be the classic
rock and roll story.

I would like to officially
and publicly announce

that this is our last show.

There's been some pretty extreme things
written about us,

especially my wife,
and she thinks everybody hates her now.

So why don't you give her a message
and say, "Courtney, we love you"?

Ok? Ready? On the count of three.

One, two, three...

Courtney, we love you!

Thanks.

Hi.

Hi. How you doing?

Are you getting suspicious

with this weird electronic device
in your face?

Staring right at it. Wait,
what do you see in there? Nothing.

Would you show your butt for the cam...?
Oh, a little wet, ok. A little pee.

That is most definitely
amphibian.

Don't look at me. Don't...

Frances, this is your real
problem.

Everywhere daddy looks, you won't look.

- = hi, hi.
- Look at dad.

This is the happiest baby
I've ever seen. Don't you think?

No! No, she's got
lots of things in store for her.

You want to be a star
for a while and I'll film?

You want to be the star?

Fly. Want to fly?

Fly?

Nose.

Tastes good?

Want to barf in my mouth again?
Three times is the charm.

- Are you getting all this?
- Yes!

- Aren't we lucky?
- I know.

Are you worried
about the kind of mistakes

that might have been made
when you were growing up

that sort of impacts
on how you deal with her situation?

No. My father and I
are completely different people.

I know that I'm capable of showing
a lot more affection than my dad was.

I mean, even if Courtney
and I were to get a divorce,

I would never allow us
to be in a situation

where there are bad vibes
between us in front of her.

If there's anything
we're determined to do,

it's to give Frances
as much love as we can.

I mean, if anything is going to stop me
from pursuing this rock and roll thing,

it's going to be her

because I don't want her
to be screwed up because of it.

I don't know what's going
to happen in the next few years.

It's kind of scary.

- I dropped it.
- Mommy's loud.

I'm loud.
Oh, who's a big crybaby?

Oh, look at that.
She's... she's kind of upset!

Ok, let's get her naked.
That's what I want. I want you naked.

Nirvana,
who the fuck do you think you are?

- Ew!
- Seeing your interviews

makes me think you guys are the most
immature pieces of trash ever made.

If you assholes
could ever write anything

that could come close
to anything guns n' roses has written,

maybe you could talk.

But until you sell
a few billion more albums,

take your head out of your asses
and smell the air.

It smells like guns n' roses.

Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.

Ok, enough of cute voices.

Leave me alone, I have to read this now.

Especially you! Don't look at me.

Don't look at me. Hey, yeah.

In an isolation tank

on 30 hits of demerol,

as new age music

poisons the scarce, humid air.

Tonight from Hollywood,
we bring you a most unusual broadcast,

starring a famous radio couple

who have never before appeared
in a story of this kind.

This is Kurt cobain.

I have a lot of things to say to you.

A lot of fucking things to say to you.

You parasitic little fucking cunt.

You're not writing about my band.

You're writing about
how jealous you are of my wife.

You have absolutely no fucking idea
what you're doing.

You will find out.

I don't care if this is a recorded
threat. I'm at the end of my rope.

I've never been more fucking serious
in my life.

Everything we do to
develop personal courage, confidence,

and belief in our own abilities.

Make your determination so strong

that it will eliminate
any situation or circumstance

which stands in the way of your goal.

Check, check,
check, check, check.

This looks just like
the metallica video.

This is part of your rockumentary.

I think this album is a...

It really expresses
the way we feel inside.

You can't just do
what you do on stage.

You can't. You're making an album.

Frances!
Frances, Frances, Frances!

Ah!

Ok, ok.

I have to... they're calling me.
I have to work now. Take care, baby.

Well, rock on!
Daddy's got to go rock!

you said before, let's make
a record to lose most of your audience.

I was in the beginning,
about a year and a half ago.

I was completely fed up
with the whole thing.

I didn't want to be a rock star at all.

It was just...
It was freaking me out, you know?

But I've had two years to recuperate.

- Ok, what's this?
- We got something to do.

This is great! Alright!

Kurt! You can't leave! Come back!

Would you like some cake?

I'm not opening this till you come back.

Kurt? = I'm bored.

Kurt?
It's Frances's first haircut.

Alright, I'm going to take
the chair out. Put her on the throne.

Let me do that.

Should I do it right here?

Kurt? Sit her on the throne.
Where's the scissors? You got 'em?

- Somebody's gotta hold her.
- I can do it.

No, I'm doing the haircut.
Yes, I am!

You aren't very still with her.

Yes, I am.
I'm doing the haircut.

I don't really talk, just...

Jesus Christ.

- Ok.
- You are such a good baby.

Shall I go down and get a bowl?

Will you try and find
the classical station on there?

This is your cartier comb.

That's right.

You haven't been eating a lot.
You don't feel like a bloated child.

Yeah, you gotta
force her to eat lately.

She's been sick.

Well, you really
have to force her to eat.

She's not... she's not motivated.

We don't have any milk
in the house either.

I'm tired of telling everyone.

It's, like, a big deal.

I'm so tired. Can't keep my eyes open.

Stop it!

Kurt, you don't want our daughter
to see you behaving like this, on drugs.

- I'm not on drugs! I'm tired!
- Do you have more teeth?

See? See'? Wife beating.

Here we go.

Oh, my pretty girly locks!

You look so gorgeous.
You won't be able to believe it.

You won't be able to believe it.

It just... every week, it got worse.

And sometimes he would come home,
I think, to hide.

He started getting sores and he
was losing weight and nodding out and...

I was pretty sure he knew I knew,

but I decided one time
to just confront him.

And so I went up to his bedroom,

and he was sitting
on the side of the bed.

And he was crying
because I had just arrived,

and he knew it was breaking my heart.

But l... and I talked to him about it

and everything that I had learned
about heroin.

And I asked him if he was at the stage

where he was addicted
to also the needle prick.

And he burst into tears.

And he... he was just ashamed.

One of the songs that actually,
I really liked on in utero,

but which you took off,
was I hate myself and want to die.

How literal is that song
in terms of the title?

As literal as a joke can be,
I mean...

Nothing more than a joke.

What kind of... who were you
playing the joke on?

Cos I have to admit,
my first reaction was, you know,

either this is
really intensely satirical

or there's some
really dark shit happening here.

I'm really thankful
for a lot of things.

My family, my child,

and every month,
I come to more optimistic conclusions.

Do you find that
you're getting happier in general?

I hope I don't become
so blissful that I lose...

Become boring?

Yeah, become boring, or I lose
my edge, or whatever it is, you know?

And who knows? I don't have
any new songs right now,

so I'm starting from scratch
for the first time.

Iabula rasa.
Ought to be interesting.

Yeah.

Is there a little fear
of the unknown?

Yeah. Definitely.

Check, check, check,
check, check, check.

Turn both guitars down now.
They're too loud.

Scott, you know that goofy ass stuff

that they have at music stores
called finger ease?

It's like an anal gel.

If I could just put some on this string.

Yeah, it's called finger ease.
Yeah, it's like a roll-on.

So I just need it on one string.
God, I'm being picky today.

Amy!

Will you guys, like...

Will you and Janet and everybody
that I know sit in the front

so I can look at you?

Cos I hate strangers.

One, two, three.

Thank you.

Any requests?

- Teen spirit.
- Sliver.

Drain you.

Serve the servants.

Remember the little black bird
on Davey and goliath?

The little what?

Black bird on Davey and goliath
singing Kumbaya.

No, I don't remember the little bird.

Remember that really evil episode
where he was really mad at this kid

and he had all these visions
of how he was going to...

"First, I'm going to
take him up to a hill

and tie him to a tree
and tar and feather him!"

It was evil.
That wasn't Christian at all!

- 1 don't know.

Do you want
to go play someplace?

- Yeah.
- What do you want to do?

I'm gonna play tape recorders.

- Frances?
- Christmas day, 1993.

Frances bean cobain.

I'm thirsty.

Yabba dabba doo!

This is nice!

Johnny rotten, Leonard Cohen,
led zeppelin and the Beatles.

That's you.

Did you say Bob Dylan?

You don't tell stories the way he does,
but... I mean...

You mean, like this?

Every... now and then...

Things I know about.

I feel kind of happy right now.

Yeah, I do, too.

We're all sensitive
to ridicule and shame.

But it seemed to me,
having gone through his materials,

that he was hyper-sensitive,

felt criticism, felt praise,

felt things a little more intensely.

Probably.
You know, he was so sensitive

that one time that I thought about
cheating on him, he fucking must...

He must have been psychic or something.

I thought about it.
I didn't do it, but I thought about it.

You never cheated on Kurt?

No, but I almost did one time,
and he knew it.

And I don't know how he knew it.

I have no idea how he knew it.

I didn't... the plan didn't
ever go anywhere.

So, it was just... nothing happened,

but I was tired and I am... I'm not...

I wasn't as monogamous as he is.

I'm a big flirt.
So, I flirt with chairs.

But I never, never cheated on him.

But I certainly thought about it
one time in London.

And I could've done it.

And the response to it
was he took 67 rohypnols

and ended up in a coma because
I thought about cheating on him.

I mean, fuck! You're kidding.

I didn't even make
the phone call to do it.

So why do you think he chose
that night to try to take his life?

Was it because he felt rejected?

I think he would see it more as
like severe betrayal than rejection,

you know what I mean?
