MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
"Miss U Kurt" is among the messages left on a bench in Viretta Park along Lake Washington next to the home where Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love lived and Cobain took his own life. His stature as a song writer/performer/poet remains undiminished.
Kurt Cobain's death, legacy still fascinate after 19 years
TAM DEHART
tdehart@kansan.com
Something about the way Kurt Cobain played his guitar had the ability to captivate a youthful audience. It became apparent in the early '90s, when his band, Nirvana, began to influence the young adult population of the world.
Cobain, the grunge-rock band's frontman, was born in Aberdeen, Wash., to a waitress and a mechanic. It was not long before he discovered his artistic talents. Cobain began playing instruments early in his youth. In 1985 he met Krist Novoselic, and the two formed Nirvana in 1987 with drummer Aaron Burkhard. The sounds of Nirvana, like those of many other bands from the grunge era, are passionate and full of raw emotion.
What set Cobain apart from so many other musicians, however, was his intense, withdrawn personality. He was also a known heroin addict and struggled with addiction through most of his short life.
Nirvana's final studio album, "In Utero," and the birth of his only daughter, Francis Bean, whom he fathered alongside fellow musician Courtney Love, Cobain found himself entering a depression. Signs of this depression had been evident for years before 1994. In 1989, Cobain had an on-stage breakdown toward the end of Nirvana's European tour, and in the Rolling Stone article "Inside the Heart & Mind of Nirvana," by Michael Azerrad, Cobain expressed a strong desire to take a break from touring and after-show parties.
Then, on April 5, 1994; Cobain joined the so-called "27 Club" after he shot himself with a shotgun at his million-dollar home on Lake Washington.
The 27 Club features members, all popular musicians, who died at age 17. Other members of the 27 Club include '60s singer Janis Joplin, guitarist Jimi Hendrix, Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones and The Doors vocalist Jim Morrison as well as many other musicians. Singer Amy Winehouse joined the 27 Club when she died in July 2011.
But there is still something
that sets Cobain apart from the other members of the club. Kurt Cobain's death incorporates some closure. The other musicians, whose deaths were accidental, were unable to articulate their feelings and leave something to be remembered by other than their music.
Cobain's suicide note, which was read aloud to a mourning crowd at the Seattle Center five days after Cobain's death, describes his feelings toward his career.
"I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music, along with really writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things." Cobain wrote. "For example, when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowd begins, it doesn't affect me the way it did for Freddy Mercury, who seemed to love and relish in the love and admiration from the crowd."
This note as well as Cobain's withdrawn personality and struggle with addiction have been a source of interest for the past 19 years.

Annette Funicello dies from MS complications
NEW YORK — She was the first crush for a generation of boys, the perfect playmate for a generation of girls.
Annette Funicello, who became a child star as a cute-as-a-button Mousekeeteer on "The Mickey Mouse Club" in the 1950s, ruled among baby boomers, who tuned in every weekday afternoon to watch her on their flickering black-and-white television sets.
Then they shed their mouse ears, as Annette did when she teamed with Frankie Avalon during the '60s in a string of frothy, fun-in-the-sun movies with titles like "Beach Blanket Bingo" and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini!"
Funicello died on Monday at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., of complications from MS, the Walt Disney Co. said. She was 70.
Decades later, she endeared herself to baby boomers all over again after she announced in 1992 that she had multiple sclerosis and began grappling with the slow, degenerative effects with remarkably good cheer and faith.
"She really had a tough
existence," Avalon told The Associated Press. "It's like losing a family member. I'm devastated but I'm not surprised."
Outgrowing the kid roles by the early '60s, Annette teamed with Avalon in a series of movies for American-International, the first film company to exploit the burgeoning teen market.
After that, she had no interest in edgier, more "adult" roles.
"People are more interested in changing my image than I am," she said in an interview. Scripts were sent to her, and "I read the first 10 pages and I'm a prostitute or a doper, and I fold them up and send them back."
When her MS was finally diagnosed, she later recalled, "I knew nothing about (MS), and you are always afraid of the unknown. I plowed into books."
She gradually lost control of her legs, and she feared people might think she was drunk. So she went public with her ordeal in 1992.
She wrote of her triumphs and struggles in her 1994 autobiography, "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes" — the title taken from a Disney song. in 1995, she appeared briefly in a television

docudrama based on her book. And she spoke openly about the degenerative effects of MS.
"My equilibrium is no more; it just progressively getting worse," she said. "But I thank God I just didn't wake up one morning and not be able to walk. You learn to live with it. You learn to live with anything, you really do."
In 1965, Funicello married her agent, Jack Gilardi, and they had three children, Gina, Jack and Jason. The couple divorced 18 years later, and in 1986 she married Glen Holt, a harness race-horse trainer.
After her film career ended, Funicello devoted herself to her family.
