EPISODE SUMMARY:

Grunge pioneer Kurt Cobain is as much an electrifying figure in death as he was in life. There's never been anyone quite like him, both musically and as a person. And the way he met his end is still a topic of popular debate to this day. So for people like comedian Mike Feeney, who identified with him as a teenage boy first facing the harsh realities of the world, there is a lifelong connection to his band Nirvana's 1994 live album MTV Unplugged in New York.
