About this listen

In Here We Are Now: The Lasting Impact of Kurt Cobain, Charles R. Cross, author of the New York Times bestselling Cobain biography Heavier Than Heaven, examines the legacy of the Nirvana front man and takes on the question: why does Kurt Cobain still matter so much, 20 years after his death?

Kurt Cobain is the icon born of the 90s, a man whose legacy continues to influence pop culture and music. Cross explores the impact Cobain has had on music, fashion, film, and culture, and attempts to explain his lasting and looming legacy.

Such a waste of true never to be equalled talent.
A very moving , personal & well thought out account.

A true one of a kind musical genius.

This is not a biography of a Kurt Cobain, but rather various discussions on aspects of culture that have been impacted by the life - and death - of Kurt Cobain. Some of it is quite slow going, such as the fashion chapter, but otherwise it’s a fascinating and quick read with a few personal stories and lesser known facts. My favourite part was the in depth discussion of addiction and suicide. One issue I found though, was that the narrator can speak a bit too quickly on occasion, causing me to have to go back and catch certain words and sentences.
