And no, Cobain is not a legend. At least not musically. Grunge would have carried on without him. It just so happens that his death coincided with the apex of his career. Plus, people did what Cobain was doing a LONG time before he got there, like Joy Division, the Bunnymen and JAMC.
It IS sad that Kurt's life was so short, but please recognize him for what he actually did and don't remember him for what he wasn't.
