TOP TEN REASONS KURT COBAIN IS GAY
[A list by Kurt Cobain]

1. He's marrying Courtney Love.
2. "Breeder" (as in his song "Breed") is gay slang for "straight person."
3. He dyes his hair "girlie" colors.
4. All people are inherently bisexual.
5. He thinks men should be affectionate with each other.
6. He's so fucked up.
7. He has beautiful eyes.
8. He likes animals and children.
9. All cowboys/loggers are closet cases.
10. He has a K sticker on his guitar.

(AND A HOMEMADE "K" TATTOO!!)


The "K" refers to the logo of K Records, run by Kurt's acquaintance, Calvin Johnson of Beat Happening. The "K" might also be a sneaky reference to Krist's name, depending on when Kurt learned the original spelling. The fact that he includes it in this list suggests a possible double meaning.
rocknroll1968: Kurt singing with intensity (Kurt passion)

"When the song finished I kissed Kurdt's hand then gave him a big hug it was very emotional [...] Went for a walk into town with Kurdt and Go-Go. Kurdt is unfathomable. He's friendly but introverted and I find it difficult to talk to him because I admire his group so much and I don't like talking about music with him"

-Eugene Kelly writing about singing one of his own songs with Kurt during Nirvana's Reading Festival set (from Eugene's diary of the 1991 UK tour on which Captain America opened for Nirvana, Uncut Magazine Aug 2021)

Lithium (early acoustic version)
Lyrics: Kurt Cobain

I'm so happy
Cause today I found my friends
They're in my head
I'm so ugly
That's ok, cause so are you
We broke our mirrors
Sunday morning
Is everyday for all I care
And I'm not scared
Light my candles
In a daze, cause I found God

Hey hey hey, hey!
Yeah hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!

I'm so lonely
That's ok, you shaved your head
And I'm not sad
And just maybe
I'm to blame for all I've heard
And I'm not sure
I'm so excited
I can't wait to meet you there
And I don't care
I'm so horny
That's ok, my will is good

Hey hey hey, hey!
Yeah hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!


Archivist's note: In this early acoustic version of Lithium, recorded in 1990, we learn who the "you" is that Kurt is addressing in the song:


Here's a picture from 1989. Kurt was not happy with Krist's new look, comparing it to a "Nazi".
