Saturday, Feb. 20, would have been Kurt Cobain's 54th birthday. It's wild to realize he lived to 27, and this year will mark 27 years since his passing. In the too few years he was making music, he wrote songs that shaped a generation — but Kurt was a massive music fan, constantly offering praise and support to the artists that inspired him, and Nirvana released a few great covers too. Hear Kurt's covers, and other favorites, on Kurt Cobain's birthday, this week on Teenage Kicks.
