"I was in a rock club the other night, and one guy comes up, pats me on the back and says, 'You've got a really good thing going, you know? Your band members are cool, you write great songs, you affected a lot of people, but, man, you've really got to get your personal sh*t together!' Then another person comes up and says, 'I hope you overcome your drug problems.' All this happens within an hour while I'm trying to watch The Melvins, minding my own business. "There were about five or six kids sifting around, very drunk, screaming 'Rock star! Rock star! Oh, look, he's going to freak out any minute! He's going to have a tantrum! He's going to start crying!' Then this other guy comes up, puts his arm around me and says, 'You know, my girlfriend broke up with me and took my Nirvana album, so you should give me $14 to buy a new CD...you can afford that now you're a big rock star.' And I said, 'Gee. That's a clever thing to say. Why don't you fu*k off?'" "But you have to ignore them," Krist warns him, "or it becomes an obsession. I have dreams about being nude in public, and I interpret them as worrying about sticking out. Forget it! It can become a preoccupation. I was like that, too, when I used to see someone famous..." "Yeah, but did you pitch them sh*t?" Kurt interrupts him. "No," Krist replies. "I didn't, but that incident you mentioned seems to be pretty isolated." "It's not isolated," says Kurt. "It happens to me all the time... every time I go out, every fu*king time. It's stupid. And, if it bothers me that much, I'm going to do something about it. Fu*k it, rock doesn't mean that much to me. I still love to be in a band and play music with Krist and Dave, but if it means that we have to resort to playing in a practice room and never touring again, then so be it."
