Kurt Cobain: The Last Interview and Other Conversations

Kurt Cobain burst into American consciousness with a vengeance with the release of Nevermind, an instant classic that defined a sound and a generation. Three years later, he was dead of suicide, leaving a meteoric career and a cultural influence that would never wane. As the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain changed American music as few musicians ever have.

In interviews Cobain was funny, thoughtful, sarcastic, impassioned, and even kind. This collection of interviews provides a look at a man who was too often misunderstood.
