I\’m just finishing up Charles R. Cross\’ excellent but intensely depressing biography of Kurt Cobain, entitled \”Heavier than Heaven.\” It\’s an unflinching look at Cobain that doesn\’t spare any detail about his drug use, cruelty, and selfishness. And now I\’m completely bummed out.

This irritated Cobain, so he made a mockery of the performance, performing it in a crooner-type style. After the performance, the band had to scramble out of the studio, as the show\’s producers were livid. Later, Kurt said he was merely trying to pay tribute to Morrissey.
