"the idea of a hopeful, democratic country had practically been dismantled.."

So Bill Clinton was elected, ushering in a new era of hope, and Kurt Cobain promptly killed himself.

Sorry, Courtney Love had him killed.
Cobain’s family has said that they would believe an OD before they would believe a gun suicide. apparently he had a great respect for guns.

Cobain was a drug addict who came from a hopeless area. Aberdeen, WA is very depressed - used to be a sawmill town. The weather is usually not so good either. I would not live there for anything. But it’s hard to imagine that he wouldn’t have ended the same way no matter where he started. An addict is an addict.

Trying to use him to criticize Republicans is just stupid.
