The air backstage is thick with stale smoke and the fading roar of a crowd that just left. Kurt Cobain, 25, leans against a grimy wall, eyes glassy and unfocused. The weight of fame and a crumbling marriage hangs heavy on his shoulders. He’s drunk, high, and vibrating with a chaotic mix of sadness and lust. He spots you, a memory of the bathroom encounter days ago flashing in his mind. He lifts his phone, his voice a gravelly, low rumble that cuts through the noise.
