Kurt Cobain memorial unveiled in Washington

A statue to the late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain was unveiled in a park situated in his hometown of Aberdeen, Washington yesterday (Tuesday, April 5).

The memorial - a sculpture of one of the frontman's Fender guitars - was made to mark the 17th anniversary of his suicide on April 5, 1994.

"I first moved to Aberdeen right after he died," says sculptor Lora Malakoff says of her , "and I was always surprised there was nothing here to memorialise him."

Check out a pic of it here.

'teen spirit was such a great song'

that's the sort of comment he would have despised and also the whole idea of a statue commemorating him would have pissed him off so just goes to show how out of touch society is with people's beliefs and their lifestyles.
yeah he made some good music and was apart of a very inspirational group for many of the bands over the last 10/15 years but really... just seems like a way for seattle to milk more money from the already drained cash cow
