Summary
When something bad happens, we want to know why…the weirder and badder the event, the more we need to know…
It can’t possibly be random…someone needs to be responsible and held accountable…someone needs to be blamed…and there had better not be any loose ends…
Certain segments of the population have always been suspicious of the official story…forget the simplest of most logical explanation…these awful events or phenomenon’s are the work of some kind of secret cabal or organization pulling the strings of life on earth…it was a conspiracy…
For example, the most famous murder of modern times was the assassination of JFK on November 22, 1963…more than sixty years later, it seems like no one believes that lee Harvey Oswald was the lone gunman…
To be fair, they might be right…there’s been a lot of investigation into the JFK case over the decades…i’m one of those nuts who reads, watches, and listens to everything involved with the assassination…and I gotta tell you that i’m convinced this was the result of a loose need-to-know operation involving the CIA, the deep stage, Cuban exiles, and American mobsters…
There’s also something called “Occam’s razor” which dates back to the 14th century…this Monk—William of Occam—was annoyed at how people blamed supernatural forces when even the simplest thing went wrong…his answer to that was “look, the simplest and most obvious explanation is usually the correct one”…
But try that approach with people who believe the earth is flat and that we never went to the moon…Covid-19 was engineered by the media…and the Illuminati live beneath the Denver airport…
The world of conspiracy theories is a bottomless pit of weirdness…and when it comes to music, one of the deepest and strangest of these theories has to do with what happened above a greenhouse in Seattle on April 5, 1994…
Boy, have I got stories—multiple stories, in fact—about this one…in fact, it might be the most compressive study you’ve ever heard on the subject…this is uncharted: music and mayhem in the music industry, episode 12: it’s the ever-popular Kurt-Cobain-was-murdered theory…

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, it's Kathy. I just wanted to let you know that you can listen to History of the 90s |
| 0:04.7 | early and ad-free on Amazon music included with Prime. It's almost impossible to imagine, |
| 0:11.7 | but this month marks 30 years since the death of Kirk Cobain. His suicide effectively ended |
| 0:18.0 | the heyday of grunge, the Seattle Sound and subculture that went mainstream |
| 0:22.5 | in the early 90s, thanks in part to Nirvana's breakthrough album, Nevermind. In the years since his |
| 0:28.4 | death, I have not stopped wondering what might have been. Would Nirvana have survived as a band? |
| 0:34.3 | Would Kurt have cleaned up his act, given the chance what music would they or he |
| 0:38.4 | alone have put out into the world? For some, though, the questions about what might have been |
| 0:44.0 | are overshadowed by what actually happened. Within days of Kurt's death, some began airing |
| 0:50.7 | suspicions that it wasn't a suicide. But do any of the conspiracy theories have |
| 0:56.4 | any validity at all? Today, I turn the show over to Alan Cross, host of Uncharted. In this episode, |
| 1:03.9 | he offers a complete deconstruction of these conspiracy theories. I'll be back in two weeks |
| 1:09.5 | with a brand new episode of History of the 90s. |
| 1:12.1 | In the meantime, I hope you enjoy Uncharted and the ever popular Kurt Cobain was murdered conspiracy. |
