This week on Bright Brainz, I sit down with Kelly Catlin, author of "Kurt Cobain: Forever in Bloom". The book, released on what would have been Cobain’s 58th birthday, offers a humanizing look at the Nirvana frontman—far beyond the usual “tortured artist” narrative.
Kelly draws on intimate interviews and untold stories to paint a fuller picture of Cobain as a father, friend, and artist who stood for more than just grunge. We talk about Cobain’s values, his fight for justice and equality, and the cultural legacy he left behind.
This conversation challenges the myth, respects the man, and reframes how we think about one of the most iconic musicians of the last century.
