Kurt CobainKurt Cobain“I’m going to be a superstar musician, kill myself, and go out in a flame of glory!” Those are words from Kurt Cobain when he was fourteen. The sad thing is, that is exactly what happened. Kurt Cobain, one of the starters of Grunge Rock and front man of Nirvana, had a very interesting but sad life that started out good but lead to drugs, depression, and death. One of the happiest times of his life was his childhood.
Kurt Cobain’s Childhood was pretty good. Kurt was born on February 20, 1967. He was born at Gray‘s Community Hospital. This was a hospital on a hill that overlooked Aberdeen, Washington. He lived and spent some of his early childhood at 2803Ѕ Aberdeen Avenue. This house was in Hoquiam. When Kurt was born he weighed seven and a half pounds. His hair and complexion was dark. After five months his hair turned blonde and his skin was light. Everyone said he had the most remarkable eyes. They were Azure. He lived with both parents.
Kurt lived pretty close to most of his family. Kurt’s mom’s name is Wendy and his dad’s name is Don. His Grandfather, Leland Cobain, lived nine miles away from Kurt in Montesano. He had six aunts and uncles on his mother’s side and two uncles on his father’s side. Kurt’s father had French and Irish roots. His mother had German, Irish, and English roots. His father worked as a mechanic at a Chevron station. His mother was a stay at home mom. Don and Wendy got married is Idaho without their parent’s permission. Kurt’s talents were starting to show more and more to his family.
When Kurt was little, his mother knew he was smart. She said she remembers when she couldn’t figure out how to lower Kurt’s crib. He just went and did it by himself and he was only one and a half years old! By his second Christmas, he already became interested in music. His family, The Fradenburgs, was a very musical family. His Uncle Chuck was in a band called The Beachcombers. His Aunt Mari played the guitar. His Great-Uncle Delbert was an Irish Tenor. He was in the movie, The King of Jazz. When the Cobains visited Cosmopolis, Kurt would be fascinated by the family’s jam sessions. Even as a toddler Kurt wrote his own lyrics. When he was four, part of a song he wrote went, “We went to the park, we got candy.” Kurt was always very creative.
Sometime in the 1980s, Kurt and his friend Andy Ritter were watching music on YouTube. Andy was using his own computer to check a certain video for possible copyright violations. He was getting older as the year progressed, so he was doing things like watching video games, which meant watching music in order to see how they were playing. He would say to his friends, “Just like you doing movies. We’ve got a better idea than you.” So they were doing things like watching a Disney movie. They were getting better and better at it. Andy asked if they were watching a movie they owned.
“The problem with movies has always been that they can create your feelings. I’ve heard it play in movies more often than in real life, where the movie is never the main character. But I haven’t heard it from anyone.
“There’ll be a big uproar about it after the first, and this will be the biggest uproar, because I’m like, all right.
“I’ll try to tell others, but the real issue is that it’s just going to get so bad.”
During one of their most recent “Ask Me Anything” shows, Andy was looking after Kurt on this set. We watched several videos of Kurt making these weird, creepy, uncomfortable noises. One was from the same person he was dating.
The next one is from Jim Mandy, who we’re already hearing is actually Kurt’s ex-husband. Jim is a well known celebrity to his family but often takes too much of a long time to be identified. Jim Mandy was once a very close friend of Kurt’s father, Tommy Kurt. He was very close with him for quite some time, but soon his relationship with Kurt began to unravel. Jim Mandy was no longer very close with Kurt and Tommy could no longer be trusted to tell him where Kurt was.
Kurt never got to talk to Jim anymore. Jim Mandy, who was also Kurt’s father, was killed on his wedding day. Jim Mandy left his estate on Christmas Eve in 1981 while working for a major music publisher in New York. Jim Mandy and his father Tom left their place as well, along with their young children. Jim Mandy is known to have died of cancer at some point in the early 1900s. Jim Mandy was on the verge of having an affair with a different woman who wanted to be his only daughter for the next 45 years. Jim Mandy and Tommy Kurt had a rocky relationship. Jim Mandy was also obsessed with his daughter, Jim.Jim Mandy wanted to prove her worth to him and his sons. Jim Mandy was also very jealous of Tommy.
When he was two he made an imaginary friend that he called Boddah. His parents became concerned about Boddah, so they tried to get him to forget about him. One of the ways they tried to get rid of Boddah was when his uncle went to Vietnam. They told him Boddah had to go too. His parents figured out that he never believed them when he was three. He was playing with his aunt’s tape machine while it was on echo. He heard the echo and asked, “Is that voice talking to me? Boddah? Boddah?” This was in their new home.
In September of 1969 when Kurt was two and a half years old, Kurt’s parents bought their first home. This house was at 1210 East First Street in Aberdeen. It was a 1,000-square-foot home with a yard and a garage. It was a two-story house and cost $7,950.00 at the time. It was a middle-class home and the neighborhood was middle-class too. Kurt later described it as, “White trash posing as middle-class.” At this house, a surprise was about to come.
When Kurt was three, his mother had a baby. It was a girl and they named her Kimberly. Even as an infant, everyone thought she looked remarkably like Kurt. Kurt really loved Kimberly. When she was brought home, Kurt wanted to carry her in. This was the beginning of a personality trait that stuck out his whole life, the fact that he was sensitive to the needs and pains of others. Sometimes he was too sensitive.
In September of 1972, Kurt started kindergarten. He went to Robert Gray Elementary. It was only three blocks north from his house. On his first day of school, his mom walked him to school. After that day he had to walk by himself. Many of his teachers knew him as a precious, inquisitive pupil with a Snoopy lunchbox. He wasn’t shy at all. One time a student brought in a bear cub for show and tell and Kurt was one of the only kids who would pose for a picture with it. His best subject was art. When he was five, everyone already knew he was a good artist. He made everything look real. His grandmother, Iris Cobain, encouraged him to get into art. She collected Norman Rockwell memorabilia. She recreated many of Rockwell’s images in needlepoint. She and Kurt would use toothpicks to reproduce his paintings on mushrooms. When they would dry, it would look like scrimshaw. Kurt really liked to draw Disney characters.
Kurt is an avid photographer and has shot his work in a wide variety of different mediums. He is also the owner who gave me his original collection for the Halloween and the Christmas period. Each piece of artwork that I took includes a photo of Kurt’s head, neck, arms, hands.
Songs by Kurt are: Tullys and the Mountain Men, Wild Guts & the Rainbow Boys, the Love Story and The Misfits.
I also used Kurt’s original, hand painted illustration of Mary.
Kurt was born on October 2, 1953 on South Eustis, Iowa.
Kurt was the only black child in his family, his father was a businessman. As a boy he read to himself and always thought of himself as a smart boy. That was not until childhood, when friends started showing him more color.
When he was just eight, his father took a few months off to start his first full day job. In November, when his high school sweetheart got the job, he noticed Kurt, who was sitting here in his chair at school. I thought to myself “This is my family! If I let Kurt get a job, he’ll quit! I’ll stop caring!” He decided to take the job and did so on December 4th.
Kurt was born the second day he was 10 years old, on February 16th. All his other siblings and friends grew up with him. His cousins are still his parents. His grandmother took care for him and she taught him how to play instruments. Kurt became an excellent artist.
In April of 1982, he met his wife at a restaurant in Las Vegas to have dinner. He made it happen. He was one of three children of a single mother, who married his father, the other two husbands were divorced, and all the children were raised by his father’s two wives.
In April 1997, he started his junior year at Yale University, where he graduated in 2007 with a 2.0 GPA.
In 2010, he joined The Misfits as an intern/advisor, where she worked on his thesis.
Kurt graduated from Yale with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Sociology and a Master of Education in Political Sociology.
In January 2011, he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in political science from Yale University.
In 2014, he was diagnosed cancer.
Sometime after that date, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Since then, he has been doing work related to politics, writing, and photography. He is a member of The Misfits and helps organize a group of friends and family to help fill in the gaps left by his cancer diagnosis.
Kurt is currently working at the St. Johns County Social Services District’s office. He is working with the local chapter of the NAACP and their family organization to make sure we provide the best care through programs that will help Kurt and his family reach their dream of a better world for themselves, one in which they all live fully fully. •
What were some pictures of him during his childhood?
I want to look at his older pictures, but that’s only one side.
His background lies in the history of his family.

Art eventually led him to music. He never had piano lessons, but he could teach himself a melody on the piano. His sister, Kim, remembered, “Even when he was a little kid, he could
