“I couldn’t handle the ridicule so on a Saturday night I got high and drunk and walked down to the train tracks and layed down and waited for the 11:00 train and put 2 big pieces of cement on my chest and legs and the train came closer and closer. And it went on the next track beside me instead of over me.”

— Kurt Cobain

20. Just hours after performing on Saturday Night Live, and one week before Nevermindhit number one on the charts, Cobain overdosed on drugs. Courtney Love found him at 7:00 am the next morning lying on the floor. She revived him by splashing water on his face and punching him in the stomach.
