It was a warm autumn day and Cobain sat down against the huge oak tree by the church and joked, ‘If there is a Satan, I want him to come and get me.’ No shit, that’s what he said.
Next time I saw him, he had married Courtney Love.” —Urge Overkill’s Eddie “King” Roeser, recalling Urge’s 1991 U.S. tour with Nirvana
