I think he was a big Kurt Cobain fan. This is a guy who put together an anthology of his early songs when he was 24 years old, after Nevermind came out, and released Incesticide just to make sure his full body of work was documented and curated the way he wanted it. There were certain shows that he wasn't happy with. He was self-critical in that respect, but I think he was quite happy with the records and the videos, because he worked so hard on them, and he thought about them so much, they were the result of what he wanted.

The 2015 documentary Soaked In Bleach proffers a highly disturbing alternative to the official narrative surrounding Cobain’s suicide. The film chronicles his last few days and is chiefly described through Tom Grant, the investigator Love had hired to find him.

Dominique Druot – Madame Arnulfi's journeyman and paramour. He is the size of a Hun and is of average intelligence. Grenouille works for him as second journeyman. Druot is later hanged for Grenouille's crimes. We got faxes of two pieces that had been written by West Coast journalists who'd seen him a week or two before, and alluded to the fact they thought he was on heroin. That was a very depressing thing to read, because usually, where there's smoke, there's fire. Then, I saw him, and he was stoned. A number of other people realised it that same day. That was just a dreadful fact that all of us who cared about him had to contend with, and for the rest of his life, it was a struggle.The eclectic list of Cobain’s favourite books, compiled from various interviews and journals, shows not only a fanatic reader, an unstoppable thirst for knowledge, and an understanding and an open mind. But it shows that above all else, Cobain was a lover of words. Harvey, Dennis (June 24, 2015). "Film Review: 'Soaked in Bleach' ". Variety. Archived from the original on June 28, 2018 . Retrieved August 23, 2018. Grohl believed that he knew Cobain would die at an early age, saying that "sometimes you just can't save someone from themselves", and "in some ways, you kind of prepare yourself emotionally for that to be a reality". [96] Dave Reed, who for a short time had been Cobain's foster father, said that "he had the desperation, not the courage, to be himself. Once you do that, you can't go wrong, because you can't make any mistakes when people love you for being yourself. But for Kurt, it didn't matter that other people loved him; he simply didn't love himself enough." [11] :351

BBC Music : The general perception of Kurt Cobain is someone who was immensely talented but complex, dark and, in many ways, an unwilling participant of Nirvana's success. But you paint another picture, of a person who was much more in control and calculating about the band's image and success. In 2001, writer Charles R. Cross published a biography of Cobain, titled Heavier Than Heaven. For the book, Cross conducted over 400 interviews, and was given access by Courtney Love to Cobain's journals, lyrics, and diaries. [131] Cross' biography was met with criticism, including allegations of Cross accepting secondhand (and incorrect) information as fact. [132] Friend Everett True – who derided the book as being inaccurate, omissive, and highly biased – said Heavier than Heaven was "the Courtney-sanctioned version of history" [133] or, alternatively, Cross's "Oh, I think I need to find the new Bruce Springsteen now" Kurt Cobain book. [134] However, beyond the criticism, the book contained details about Cobain and Nirvana's career that would have otherwise been unnoted. In 2008, Cross published Cobain Unseen, a compilation of annotated photographs and creations and writings by Cobain throughout his life and career.

The play, set in Cobain's greenhouse on the day of his suicide, revolves around the ghost of Sid Vicious visiting Cobain to try to convince him not to kill himself. Cobain was played by Shaun Evans. [154] Video games Cobain immersed himself in artistic projects throughout his life, as much so as he did in songwriting. The sentiments of his artwork followed the same subjects of his lyrics, often expressed through a dark and macabre sense of humor. Noted were his fascination with physiology, his own rare medical conditions, and the human anatomy. According to Novoselic, "Kurt said that he never liked literal things. He liked cryptic things. He would cut out pictures of meat from grocery-store fliers, then paste these orchids on them ... And all this stuff on [ In Utero] about the body – there was something about anatomy. He really liked that. You look at his art – there are these people, and they're all weird, like mutants. And dolls – creepy dolls." [55]
