Monday, April 5, 2004
Believe it or not, today – April 5, 2004 – is the ten year anniversary of the death of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. Twenty-seven years old, at the height of his popularity, and married with a beautiful daughter, his entire life and career was ahead of him; but a gunshot to the head changed all of that, as the rock world got turned on its head.
