10/24/90 - London, UK. Interviewer: “How did you decide on the name Nirvana?” Kurt Cobain: “There’s no reason at all, it just sounded nice.” Interviewer: “Do you think that’s the state of mind you should have when you listen to your music?” Kurt Cobain: “I’d like to think that, I feel that way at times when we’re playing on stage, I can sometimes feel a lot of real human energy, the name means freedom from pain and suffering and the external world. That’s a pretty stupid heavy little statement but it seems everyone is looking for something like that, religions a pretty popular thing, freedom from pain.”
