Question
Hello Jennifer
Glad to see there are so many fans out there.  Agree totally with your theories re Kurt's death.  Did you know the Memorial Committee have recently had a meeting (a long overdue one) having arranged for a concert to be performed in Hoquaim with bands performing in order to raise money for Kurt's memorial in Aberdeen.  Heaven knows when this is going to be achieved after ALL THESE YEARS!  When are they going to realise the world wants to honour Kurt. His grandfather who has put so much effort in in keeping Kurt's memory alive with the fans, isn't going to live to see this achieved.  If it soon gets to the stage where they have got a plot of land for a building and they are in the wanting money stage, what do you think the response will be from the fans?  Are we going to be able to get this thing off the ground once and for all?  Kurt will live in our hearts and minds forever but God, let his grandfather see this memorial ....... please!  x

Answer
Hello Lynda,

I sadly have no been following this memorial. I was both honored and appalled when they changed the signs to Aberdeen with "Come as you Are", I think Kurt may have been a little bit flattered but at the same time, that town both  made and broke him..

It would be nice to see a memorial, The last I heard was of the teen center they were planning, or has already been erected.

Yes, i would be nice have Leland around to see what Kurts fans would love to see, a memorial to him.

Jennifer.

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I have been extremly busy!

Expertise

I can answer questions about the release history of NIRVANA from 1989-Present, questions about the history of the band, life & death of Kurt Cobain, the remaining members of NIRVANA, and most questions about his family. I can fact check tour dates, live shows, and just about anything related.

Experience

I helped out Carrie Borzillo, rock new editor for cdnow.com (now amazon.com) with fact checking, an interview, eyewitness account and was given special thanks in her book Eyewitness Nirvana. I've been studying NIRVANA since 1993 and have read literally thousands of books, magazine articles, and other publications throughout the last decade and a half. My reference collection is huge with just about every book, entire release catalog, and more from all around the world. I started volunteering for AllExpterts.com in 1999 before it was purchased by About.com sometime in the early 00's. You can find all of the answers to previously asked public question dating back to 1999. I wrote, edited, and published a NIRVANA newsletter (NIRVANA FOREVER), and online zine (About a Son; Lithium) that both ran 7 years on America Online. I've founded and sistered a lot of NIRVANA communities on LiveJournal.com (NIRVANA FOREVER, Kurt & Jim, and NIRVANA Elitests), and Yahoo.com (NIRVANA FOREVER).
