Kurt Cobain lived February 20, 1967-April 5, 1994 at age 27. Kurt grew up in Aberdeen, WA where his parents were divorced and he became baptized. Kurt Cobain struggled with a Heroin addiction, depression, and how people interpreted him. On April 5th 1994 he was found dead from a self inflicted shotgun wound in the head. In his early life he was a happy young man but when his parents divorced at age seven his mood changed dramatically. He became defiant and withdrawn. "I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that." Kurt Cobain said. Both Cobain's parents found partners after the divorce but his biological mother was in a abusive relationship which at most serious got her a broken arm. The divorce of Cobain's parents was terrible in Kurt's mind. Kurt Cobain's teenage rebellion in his later years was too much for his father so his father ended up giving him to friends and family. As you see Kurt did not have the most "nice" life but he revolutionized the world of rock.
Krist Novoselic was born on May 16th, 1965. His parents where immigrants of Croatia. Somewhere along his childhood Novoselic gained interest in the Sex Pistols and Ramones. These were both popular punk bands. He was introduced to Kurt Cobain by his younger brother when Cobain noticed loud music coming from upstairs. Shortly after this "event" they created a band. This one didn't last long. Krist Novoselic is now not part of the music business. A while later Novoselic played with the Foo Fighters for one album name "Wasting Light". Sadly that was only a one time thing. In 1995 Novoselic proposed creating a political action committee, which was named JAMPAC (Joint Artists and Musicians Political Action Committee). This is still going on today. This is what Krist has been doing ever since.
