Kurt Cobain came along at a time when music and the world needed authenticity and understanding restored to everyone's lives. Through his art he showed us who he was, and it was a refreshing relief, however brief it was. For this we will be eternally grateful. Thank you, Kurt!

Kurt, you saved my life more times than I can count. i almost died on May 14th, 2024, but I heard your music, Kurt, and I didn't. When depression first hit, I turned to you, and it got me through, and it still is. I cant thank you enough for your music, Kurt

Thank you Kurt Cobain. I honestly hated guitar until I heard your music. I now I’m addicted to Nirvana. It is so inspiring whenever I listen to Smells Like Teen Spirit. The first song I ever learned to play is actually Smells Like Teen Spirit. Now I’m playing Heart Shaped Box, All Apologies.
Thank You. You truly inspired me. Hope the afterlife is well. Thanks.

Kurt, you have truly made an impact on my life
I'm a small boy, I'm not that tall and I get bullied at school every day. And I had to leave school from how bad it got
I'm a very social dude so that very greatly hurt me considering the fact I had a reputation, I did good in most of my classes, I was known as the type of dude to not eat, sit alone and just draw in my stupid little notebook, and I got bullied a lot for it
so you know what I did?
i started a band, and I finally found people that care about me and I care a bunch about them
and you have helped with that a lot
wether it just be looking at your face or some images or listening to some music you really have helped
and I know you died before I was born.
your death date is the day after my birthday
April 4th and April 5th.
i got bullied so much it almost killed me on some occasions
there was this one dude who told me to hang myself.
and some dudes would trip me and just laugh at me.
i once almost died there, I had a really bad asthma attack and I had to go to the hospital that day
your death was unfair but we went through similar stuff.
i don't know a lot about you, I don't have a father. and I've always been seen as a looser.
but you sparked something I didn't know I had in me
I learned from you and even though you've been dead for almost 31 years I've seen you as a father when mine never was there
and it made me very interested in guitars; I might buy one this year. . .
so. thank you very much for everything you have done for me even though we have never met.
rest in peace kurt.
Truly Rin Miller.

I wish I had met you before you went, Kurt. You've inspired me, and I wish you'd never gone, but legends wouldn't be a legends if they hadn't gone. I'm sorry you went through the mental tack you did. We'll all miss you Kurt.

i am sorry to Kurt Cobain's family. i have always been a big fan of him. i remember exactly where i was and what i was doing when i found out he died. i wish that never happend. i will always be a fan of him. my favorite rock band Nirvana i pray Kurt is in heaven and with no pain at all. i am sure he is with Jesus Christ, our lord and savior. Jesus, i pray to you that i have no idea if kurt Cobain was baptized and if he had a relationship with you,but lord, please let him in heaven with you. i know you can take all the pain away that he endured here on earth. i love you Jesus and thank you for all you do. i know you can take care of him better than anyone else ever could. in your loving name Jesus Christ, i pray, Amen
