I remember the day #KurtCobain died so clearly. It was April 5, 1994; I was a senior at #NorthwesternUniversity.
I had no classes that day. I woke up, showered, and put on combat boots, brown linen pants, black t shirt & my #SocialDistortion Skelly hat.
(Why I recall my outfit I have no idea.)
I heard on the radio that they ‘found a body' in Cobain's house & didn't think much of it. I figured somebody had OD'd and maybe it was him - but prolly not because he should be happy with his phenomenal success, no?
I walked over to a friends' apartment. We were hanging out & drinking MGD when the real news came out. We were stunned.
I have no recollection what the rest of the day was like, what we talked about or anything. I wish he'd gotten the help he needed.
