Kurt Cobain wrote the song “Polly” after reading this newspaper article. Nirvana would later end up playing benefit shows to help rape victims, the “Rock Against Rape” concert in 1993 being one example, which helped raise money for a women’s self-defense organization. In the liner notes of “Incesticide”, Cobain wrote: “Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song ‘Polly.’ I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience. Sorry to be so anally P.C. but that’s the way I feel.”
