How do you write a song of such symbolic superiority as "Heart-Shaped Box"? Tie in personal remarks, poetry, and metaphor with a supportive beat?
"Nostalgia is denial - denial of the painful present... the name for this denial is golden age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present."

Kurt Cobain is Dead
Kurt Cobain's journal is no longer at Barnes and Noble.
Kurt Cobain is in hell. No one can honestly say "he's in a better place" because they know the truth, no matter how much they try to smooth it over. Such a creative mind turned to waste. He killed himself so that his daughter wouldn't become someone like him, with all his psychological and emotional aggravations. How cowardly is that? His daughter is probably more impaired than she would have been had he not taken his life. And it doesn't even matter if he hadn't committed suicide because he still would've eventually ended up in hell.
