Turn of Phrase - The Wisdom of Kurt Cobain

"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not." 


- From Kurt Cobain, lead singer of grunge-rock band Nirvana, who died of a self-inflicted shotgun wound in 1994 at the age of 27.

A hand-written letter believed to be his suicide note was discovered near Kobain's body, although only the bottom portion of the letter appears to be related to the rocker's intent to kill himself.


Today is Cobain's birthday. He would be 45 years-old.
