On april 5 of 1994 Kurt Cobain left the world. He was here for a minute and then he was gone. His music will be in our minds and hearts forever. An amazing person, father, husband, musician, rocker, genius. There are a few souls like the one he still has somewhere we can’t see it and we don’t know where it is, but we can for sure feel it. Stay in touch with his memory, the one thing nobody can’t take us away.
On today in 1994 Gibby Haynes & Joe Mama, who’s a long time friend of Kurt & Courtney visits Kurt Cobain in rehab. Joe Mama said of Kurt: “I was ready to see him look like shit & depressed. He looked fucking great!”. Kurt flees the detox center at 7:25pm after climbing over the wall, he bought a flight back to Seattle. Courtney calls Kurt at the detox center & finds out that he has escaped. She drives around L.A. with Joe Mama looking in likely places where Kurt may have gone.
“I can’t play (guitar) like Segovia. The flip side of that is that Segovia could probably never have played like me.”
