Check out this link to listen to the story on NPR's website.

I love Nirvana. I don't know what it is, but if I could someone back from the dead just for a day, Kurt Cobain is one of my top 5 people.
So I was going to work this summer and while I was driving I was listening to the radio for once when I stumbled upon this news story about how they decided to sand blast the word "Fuck" off of Kurt Cobain's memorial. I was shocked that after this many years they all of a sudden decided to censor his grave site. It makes sense to a certain degree why the town might want to send a more conservative message, but Cobain was not a conservative guy. Who's memorial was it anyway? The town may have to live with it, but it was Cobain's, his family's and as such a sort of refuge for his fans. Anyone else can just shove it.
However what's done is done... however I can just imagine him rolling in his grave.
