![]() I asked Kurt what he was like as a kid, and he said something about being small for his age. I sat down on a little footstool next to his bed, started up the tape recorder, and began asking him questions. It just wasn’t something that anyone would say out loud at the time. It turns out that a lot of other people around him did, too: his bandmate Dave Grohl sensed it, and so did Kurt’s wife, Courtney Love.

Not much was known about Kurt at that point, other than he was this guy from Seattle who screamed in his songs, smashed his guitars, and might be a heroin addict. I had flown there from New York to interview him for a Rolling Stone cover story, the one with a famous photograph of him wearing a homemade T-shirt that said “Corporate Magazines Still Suck.” I was nervous.
