Nirvana
Viveu intensamente até ao momento que escolheu. O que ele não queria era o destino de estrela de rock’ n’roll. Sentir os holofotes a crestar a pele, fingir aquela alegria que põe todos aos pulos para depois esmorecer como um comboio estancado numa estação abandonada. Deixou uma carta escrita de despedida. Depois deu um tiro na cabeça. Recolheu ao panteão dos mais relampejantes e radicais poetas do nosso tempo. Músicos de circunstância. Meteoros de fulminante precipitação. Poetas para sempre e de pouca e imprecisa palavra. Kurt Cobain revive agora na colecção Rei Lagarto ao lado de Morrison, Ian Curtis, Zapa, Brel e outros roubadores de lume que acabam incandescentes. A organização e tradução do livro é de Ana Cristina Ferrão.

About the author
Kurt Cobain
98 books786 followersKurt Donald Cobain, was an American musician who served as lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the Seattle-based rock band Nirvana.
Cobain formed Nirvana in 1987 with Krist Novoselic. Within two years, the band became a fixture of the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene. In 1991, the arrival of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" marked the beginning of a dramatic shift of popular rock music away from the dominant genres of the 1980s (glam metal, arena rock, and dance-pop) and toward grunge and alternative rock. The music media eventually awarded the song "anthem-of-a-generation" status, and, with it, Cobain was labeled a "spokesman" for Generation X.
During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with drug addiction and the media pressures surrounding him and his wife, Courtney Love. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead in his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. In ensuing years, the circumstances of his death became a topic of fascination and debate.

Estava à espera de uma biografia de Kurt Cobain e deparei-me com uma simples análise sobre parte da sua vida. Uma parte muito pequenina...
