Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 - April 5, 1994)
On February 20, 1967 Kurt Donald Cobain was born at Grays Harbor Hospital in Aberdeen, WA. As we all know (or should know), Kurt changed the face of rock music, and instigated a social movement with a very strong fan base. From the beginning, he was completely against trends, major corporations, and industry in general. In fact he once said “I would rather be dead than cool.” Ironically, it was this attitude that made him so cool. Cobain is one of the most talented artists, and he has influenced me in every aspect of my life.

Happy birthday, Kurt.
