Kurt Cobain

Sonic Youth and Nirvana, backstage at a Neil Young show, Seattle, April 1991.

Photographer: Charles Peterson.

"I was asked to take some radio winner shots with Sonic Youth and Nirvana by the local Geffen rep. I got this one off before anyone else stepped in. That’s actually Thurston Moore on the far left. He had hit his head with his guitar during their last song and was bleeding, staunching it with a towel, and didn’t really want to be in the photos. A great snapshot in time." - Charles Peterson

There’s a great need for harmony between man and earth. I think we’re really screwing up that harmony by dumping garbage in the sea, air pollution and all that stuff.
