“I never intended to have some kind of a mystery about us; it’s just that I didn’t have anything to say
in the beginning. And now that it’s gone on long enough and there’s actually a story, in a way-- I mean,
still I think every night that you leave, I think, ‘God, my life’s so f*&king boring compared to so
many people that I know, we don’t deserve to have a book written about us’”
– Kurt Cobain in the beginning of “About A Son”
