Kurt Cobain entry #4

I am skipping chapter 5 as one blog post. It really only talks about his musical career.

Chapter 6 begins by talking about how in the 1990's, the demands of its idols that past generations have had to endure did not really exist. Bruce Springsteen and Peter Frampton were used as popular examples here. It stated that both artists had two of the three following; the impact of a Dylan, the charm of a Beatle, or the conviction of a Stone. But Nirvana had all the creative freedom they wanted. Kurt wansn't a 'star' and never wanted to be; he just wanted to make a living at his job.

Kurt's controversies had just begun to be explored in this chapter as well. To sum up the experiences, Kurt had stated that 'I went to bed one evening, and everything was fine, but when I woke up the next morning, they said on the News that I was an escaped Nazi child killer.' Some of these controversies include lies to the press, his drug use, hatred of fame, issues with his child, fights with (at this time, wife) Courtney Love, and overall ill-health.

It is unknown as to why all these issues have been dug upon by the hounds of the media, so why do you think that they had kept inquiring to these things?
