Cobain: Montage of Heck Page #6

---

I'm afraid, I'm afraid,

I'm afraid

I'm afraid, 'fraid

Oh

Even if you have,

even if you need

I don't mean to stare,

we don't have to breed

We could plant a house,

we could plant a tree

I don't mean to stare,

we don't have to breed...

99 X...

That Nirvana stuff that y'all

played us last night,

if I wanted to request one of those songs right now,

could you play it?

- Do y'all have any bootleg CDs of Nirvana?

- Can you play Nirvana?

- Can you play that song by Nirvana?

- Can you play some Nirvana?

Right here,

a world premiere video from Nirvana.

"Smells Like Teen Spirit."

Oh

Even if you have,

even if you need

I don't mean to stare,

we don't have to breed...

- They told you the line to say?

- What do we say? This is...

We're Nirvana,

and this is "The Week in Rock."

We could have all three,

she said...

Hey, all you people

staying up late on a Sunday night,

slack off,

you don't need your job!

Don't say, "Yes, sir,"

"Yes, ma'am."

Say, "Cram it!"

Don't show up tomorrow,

call in sick.

And this is Nirvana,

and you're watching...

"120 Minutes."

...on...

M-T-T-V.

Yeah

Even if you have,

even if you need

I don't mean to stare,

we don't have to breed

We can plant a house,

we can plant a tree

I don't even care,

we can have all three

She said, she said

She said, she said,

she said...

The hottest new rock band in the

country right now may well be Nirvana.

The hottest band

around at the moment.

The band that it seems

like everybody's talking about.

People, like, really seem to be

getting into Nirvana right now.

Do you see when you go out and play shows,

the crowds are getting different?

I mean, isn't it

pretty overwhelming?

Everybody wants to be hip.

And so that's what it is...

Everyone wants to be accepted.

...said!

Yeah? Okay. Gold.

I just heard that you sold

600,000 albums

in the United States.

Does that make it, like,

platinum or something like that?

It makes it gold.

It makes it a free gift

to my mother for Christmas.

- Exactly.

- I don't have to pay for a gift now.

What's Mom getting

for Christmas?

Oh, I guess she's

getting a gold record.

Does that mean you guys are,

like, rich now?

Hell, no.

We're so far

from having any money.

I mean we get per diem,

I guess.

- Do you care what critics think?

- Oh, we...

- You know, I think...

- I've never sort of heard as many glowing criticisms.

- Oh, glowing.

- Doesn't that make you feel good?

Well...

I mean, it's better than being slammed,

that's for sure.

But, you know, if I was reading

the same thing about another band,

I wouldn't believe it.

No way.

I'm not gonna believe

some journalist

that's just spewing

about some band

that he thinks, whatever,

changed his life or...

- Yeah.

- You know, can't believe everything you read.

I mean,

all you have to do is...

The music is

a personal experience.

You put the music on and

whatever you get out of it...

You know, if it's good or bad.

If it's bad, you don't like it,

you just walk away from it.

You know?

And if it's good, it works for you...

- You know, this lighter...

- What the hell? Instead of...

There are

probably a lot of kids

who would hear a song and actually feel,

like, kinship...

Whether you're having

trouble with parents

or school or, you know,

the usual dysfunctional stuff that happens.

But when you're up there,

do you have any sense of who you're playing to?

I'm playing to kids in general.

I mean,

it doesn't matter where they come from.

We have the same problems,

and we all basically have the same thoughts,

you know?

One baby to another says

I'm lucky to have met you

I don't care what you think

Unless it is about me

It is now my duty

to completely drain you

I travel through a tube

And end up

in your infection

...meat for you

Pass it back and forth

In a private kiss

From my mouth to yours

I like you...

You guys don't like explaining

anything to do with your music,

but what's the problem

with going on camera and just...

There's nothing to be said.

It's all in the music, man!

It's all in the music.

It's all in the meat.

You don't think that

people that are fans of you

would like to hear what you had in mind,

maybe?

- Or what you were...

- I'd rather hear what they have in mind, you know?

And how they interpret it.

In "Teen Spirit"

you seem to complain

about the apathy

of our generation.

And do you share this lack

of engagement yourself?

What, being apathetic?

- Yeah.

- Sure.

Why?

Why?

Because we sleep too much.

- No, I mean, just say the...

- Do the first part only.

Just read it.

Hello.

Stay tuned for more...

Nirvana on "ABC in Concert"!

- You wanna do it again?

- One more?

Yeah, do one more...

With eyes so dilated,

I've become your pupil

You tell me

everything about...

Probably the biggest

band in the world right now,

please welcome Nirvana!

Nirvana are real.

There's nothing pretentious about

them or anything like that.

They're world famous, you know?

Maybe I'll watch this

in the bar.

Kurt Cobain, he's so beautiful.

Sloppy lips to lips

You're my vitamins

I like you...

Interviews are worthless.

Let's go.

What do you think

about interviews?

- It's a pretty good magazine.

- What do I think?

Did you hear my reaction when he

asked me if I wanted to do one?

- Yeah.

- I said, no.

Hey,

I'm a hardcore Nirvana fan myself.

- Yeah?

- Is this a disease that you've had long?

- Any cure for it?

- He's talking from his experiences.

He's talking

from his experience.

Well,

he's got lousy experience, sir.

Well,

it's not his goal to make millions of dollars

when he made the stuff.

He's writing about his life.

Well,

his life needs to see a therapist or a minister,

and it doesn't need to be

on millions of CDs

for kids to listen to

and identify with

and have more of their despair and

their hopelessness emphasized

by the tragedy

of this man's life.

I guess each individual's

going to deal with it

the way they're going

to deal with it.

I get... You know,

it was kind of traumatic

to be famous all of a sudden,

especially coming

from this complete obscurity

and just being the number

one band in the world.

So I did things like

withdraw or drink.

You know, I'm lucky.

I had beer and wine, you know?

Kurt had heroin.

Given how volatile

and complicated

things were for Kurt

around that time,

why do you think he chose that moment to,

um,

start his relationship

with Courtney?

I went...

I had this relationship

with this person, this woman.

And I just kind of wanted

to build this home for myself,

because my home growing up

had fallen apart.

So I wanted to build a home.

And I think that Kurt

wanted to do that, too.

He wanted to build a home,

because his home

and his family fell apart.

So when Courtney

came into his life,

they had...

She was interesting,

she was artistic, intellectual,

and, you know,

she did drugs, too,

but that was all

part of the package
