Kurt Cobain - Ian Tilton
So I FINALLY went to see Who Shot Rock and Roll at the Columbia Museum of Art (really glad I got a chance since it closes on Sunday).
I basically had my version of a religious experience. When I saw this photo of Kurt Cobain, I seriously started crying. Right next to it was this polaroid of Courtney Love (by Shawn Mortensen):

The polaroids really got to me. They are just so tangible. So REAL.
For the most part, I don’t really have words for the whole experience. It was just so intense, I’m not really sure of what to say other than that it was absolutely amazing. If you have a chance to see it, GO!
