Summary: Kurt Cobain
Comment: Kurt Cobain was the talented, angry, and very depressed lead singer of an early 1990s grunge-rock band. This book written by "Rolling Stone" magazine is a factual book containing a few opinions on Cobain's life and personality. The authors did an exceptional job on informing the audience on his past background. They also did an astounding job on helping you understand why Cobain committed suicide and what his problems were. This book would be excellent for anyone who was a past fan of the band "Nirvana". Special quotes about Cobain's life and personality are given by Michael Stipe, who is the lead singer from R.E.M., Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam, and many other of his close friends. The authors used very descriptive details about this "legend's" life. This book made me realize what an incredible and depressing life Cobain led when he was young. I understood why he chose to do the things that he did towards the end of his life. What Courtney Love thought about his death was shocking and grabbing; while reading about his childhood history was informative and left a sympathetic feeling.

Summary: Another Rolling Stone "eulogy" for an icon
Comment: The best thing about Rolling Stone's compilation their coverage of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain is that it is one stop shopping. You can get just about everything published in RS abour Kurt and the band up until Kurt's death. Convienent? Yes. Informative? Well, considering Kurt rarely told the truth in interviews (for whatever reason) this book isn't going to give you alot you don't already know. The pictures are pretty lame - most of them were highly published during Nirvana's reign as the biggest band in the world. So, what makes Rolling Stone's collection so special? Because it's from Rolling Stone, the musical authority. If anything it's more of a coffee table book, especially with the dark, flattering picture of Cobain on the cover. Unfortunately, this is another way for corporate America to take advantage of a great artist, a great person who left this life too soon...
You'd be better off with something other than this book.
