Kurt Cobain committed suicide. Yesterday was the actual day he killed himself. Thursday will be the day his body was found.
I remember watching Kurt Loder on MTV News report it live. Suicide was such an uncommon thing back then that I didn’t understand it. Did his death have an impact on you?

It put Courtney Love back into circulation.

I saw this all the time to my kids when they ask me stuff like, Hey dad do you know Kevin Durant? Me: not personally but I know who he is. Them: Dumb face and they usually call me names and harass me for a bit.

I was in college at the time, and had actually seen Nirvana in concert a few months prior, and it didn't impact me much. I had kind of moved on from grunge music and starting the jam band phase of my life though.

This is not terribly unusual, it seems. I recall as a child just assuming that my grandfather was close friends with celebrities his age, like Ed McMahon, and such.
As for Cobain's passing, I wasn't much of a Nirvana fan at the time, so it didn't hit me especially hard. I remember my mother being a bit concerned and asking if Nirvana was the band I was so crazy about. "No, mom. That's METALLIC-A. This was NIRVAN-A." I can see how she'd mix those up...

Life can be weird at times when you stop and really think about it.

I remember it too or I remember seeing it like a Friday or Saturday. But let's face it, we all knew he had it in for himself and it really wasn't a shocker.

Suicide was such an uncommon thing back then

The over-all consensus is basically she didn't have anything to do with actually murdering him..but, at the crossroads in his life where he needed a good person to reach him, she chose not to be one. Also that their fights became more about who could out-selfish the other person, which he apparently found to be really disheartening and embarrassing.
In the end for her it sounds like the equivalent of saying you love someone, yet you just stand on the shore and watch that person drown. Anyone I've ever met who knows her does not like her, and say she's next level when it comes to manipulation which seems to be exactly what Kurt didn't need.

A few weeks earlier MTV erroneously reported his death.

I’ll rephrase it with suicide wasn’t a common thing around these parts. I think a lot of people were in shock he would do something like that to himself. Depression wasn’t taken very seriously in terms of national culture back then.
As far as Courtney Love goes, I’ve never been a fan of hers, but I don’t blame her. I think Dave Grohl does. She got peer pressured into heroine and it was a common thing. She actually did the right thing making sure he didn’t go out like a martyr.

That makes sense. She wasn't directly responsible per se, but she didn't do anything to help his situation or influence it the other way. How sad.
Do they say they think if she had maybe been a little more supportive, for lack of a better term, that maybe things would have turned out differently?

I got the impression that more could have been done and the death could have been avoided if more had been done. If problems had been addressed earlier, if specific jabs hadn't been taken using his kid, etc.

I remember where I was when I heard on the radio. Little league field parking lot in Hoover near the middle school.
It was shocking to me at that age. First rock star from a band I loved to kill himself or even die really. And you have to remember addiction was still a very hush hush, taboo thing back then. Sad to think all of those guys are dead now. Almost every single one. Layne, Cornell, Weiland, god knows who else I'm forgetting right now.

Slightly. I was not a huge fan but I liked some of his music. Cornell was more of a hit. He may have been the most talented mainstream musician in the last 30 years..

None whatsoever. I always thought he was an overrated, whiny-arse druggie. Never liked his music, never cared for him. His suicide was a "gee, there's a surprise" moment.
