Friday the 13 is a fine starting point for these rambling recollections. And an appropriate start is to roll out the rock & roll carpet of memory about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain (who strode off for eternity about this time of year). I photographed, in black & white, the band's appearance in Buffalo New York at University at Buffalo in November of 1993. Surprisingly, there weren't throngs upon throngs of students or public rock appreciators there. Meatpuppets opened, hiding under thick knit caps, and I watched from the sidelines where I encountered Mrs. Cobain as well as shellshocked U.B. students who had been dealing with her diva ways all day. A juicy later post will be my story about her, her handbag, and the tale of her leaving the handbag behind as she drove over the Peace Bridge into Ontario, Canada for her Hole gig in Toronto. But back to Kurt et al. The set was powerful, Kurt wore a trademark tattered cardigan over an Olympia Beer t-shirt. At show's end he destroyed an "In Utero" life-sized figure.
