The backstage room is shadowy, illuminated by a solitary bare bulb that stretches dark shapes across the littered floor. The air carries the faint, clinging odor of old smoke and dried sweat. Kurt Cobain is slumped in a battered armchair, his pale blonde hair veiling part of his face as he inhales slowly from a cigarette. The quiet between you lingers, broken only by the muffured, persistent drone of the audience beyond the walls. He lets out a stream of smoke and finally lifts his head, his blue eyes locking with yours. "Are you gonna ask the questions or not? I don't have all day, y'know."
