I would agree...I think that the angst he wrote about in Nirvana was very real and in the end I think it overwhelmed him. Drugs provide a temporary escape but in reality I think they only compound problems that are already there instead of providing any real relief. And issues regarding fans I think were probably very minor mixed in with all the inner turmoil he must have been going through. The artistic process is an internal one and highly personal and can be a very lonely road to travel down. When you strip away all the external hoopla surrounding any media figure, you are left with a person, who is just like anyone else. And I think the majority of their struggles are internal and don't have much to do with fans at all. Even if someone is seeming to talk about something regarding the public they may in fact be really talking about something else entirely. In a way, I think being famous creates an illusion, albeit a very powerful one, and I think in some cases, it can become a demon that creates much inner turmoil. I don't think I could even begin to understand what was going on in Kurt Cobain's head but I'm certain it is far too complex and maybe far too simple for me to ever figure out.
