*Source Today you would be 58 today, dear friend. I take the liberty of writing these words to you because I am a firm believer in the art, the legacy and above all, the undeniable contribution that you and your friends in Nirvana have left in culture to this day. In 1994, I was only 2 years old. In April of that fateful year, you decided to make an irreversible decision that would change the lives of billions forever. All of us who admire and love you will always keep asking ourselves "Why, why, why? You said it so well, in that last letter to Frances, your daughter, on 5th April 1994; ‘...It is better to burn out, than to die out slowly...’. Undoubtedly, you passed away at 27... Practically, thus ending a golden age of music, of culture and above all, a period of talent that to this day, 31 years later, is still important and above all powerful in the lives of all of us. In Aberdeen, Washington, USA, your hometown, where you experienced all the nuances of existence, lies your grave.
