“At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records. Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song Polly I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience.” - Kurt Cobain

Kurt cared about a lot of things despite his attitude may have projected and I think that this is what should come to mind when we think about him. Not his drug use, not how depressed he was or how he killed himself, but the fact that performing at a No On 9 benefit, (supporting defeating of Measure 9 an anti-homosexuality measure) he was approached by a kid that suggested he and Guns and Roses patch thing up. He responded with, “No, kid, you’re really wrong. Those people are total sexist jerks, and the reason we’re playing this show is to fight homophobia in a real small way. The guy is a fucking sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you can’t be on his side and be on our side. I’m sorry that I have to divide this up like this, but it’s something you can’t ignore.”
