In the late-1980’s, Kurt Cobain, a young singer, song writer, guitarist from the working-class Washington State coastal town of Aberdeen put out a crude but catchy punk rock album known as Bleach. He played all the instruments; it was a fairly low-budget recording that ignited what we later came to know as Grunge. It was obvious to everyone around that he had started something pretty big. Something that could be used and likely needed to be controlled.

In order to grow as a band and perform live, Kurt Cobain’s band Nirvana needed a drummer, in came a talented drummer from Washington DC named Dave Grohl. Not long after, Courtney Love found her way into Cobain’s life as well. Interestingly Grohl’s dad had ties to the DC swamp and Love’s dad had ties to the CIA and the creation of the psychedelic, LSD movement in the 1960’s. Coincidence?
