just punk and hardcore, music that sounded the way Kurt already felt.
So he went to his first real concert in 1983 with Sammy Hagar and the Quarter Flash at the Coliseum in Seattle.
But Kurt always said the show that actually changed him was different.
It was the Melvins, playing for free in the front of the Thriftway grocery store where Osbourne bagged groceries.
And he wrote about it in his journals, saying that that was the moment.
And after that, the guitar swallowed everything.
And he would practice all day, forgetting to do his homework.
And it got to the point that his father got fed up and killed the lessons.
So, Kurt left and headed to his grandparents' house first, then to his mom's, switching schools from Montessano High to Aberdeen High, sophomore year.
And then back to his dad's, and then out again, drifting through the homes of whatever friends would take him in.
And one of those stops was Jesse Reed's family's place in North River.
And the house was packed with instruments, and Kurt was welcome to play anything he wanted.
Jesse's father, Dave, had played sax and sung with the Beachcombers, and the boys would spend hours going through the band's old 45s.
And with graduation two weeks away, he quit school after realizing he didn't have enough credits to actually walk.
And this caused his mom to lay out an ultimatum, find work or leave.
But he didn't do either.
And when he came home a week later, everything he owned was boxed up and waiting by the door.
So he was 17 years old with nowhere to go.
So he continued to bounce around.
Couches, spare rooms.
