Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When was Kurt born?

Answer: February 20th, 1967

He was born on the day of an American victory at Quang Ngai City, and JCPenney was having a sale of flannel shirts for $2.48. Interesting, eh?

2. What are the names of Kurt's parents?

Answer: Don and Wendy

His dad's family had French and Irish roots. His mom's family had German, Irish, and English roots.

3. What medicine did doctors prescribe for Kurt in order to cure his "endless energy"?

Answer: Ritalin

It didn't really help him though. According to Kurt and Courtney Love, taking Ritalin when he was young, lead him into using pot and other narcotics.

4. What was the last name of Kurt's first serious girlfriend (her first name was Tracy)?

Answer: Marander

Well, Dewitt was the last name of the nanny who was taking care of Kurt's daughter-Frances. Foster is the last name of Dave, one of Nirvana's drummers.

5. What was the slogan used during Nirvana's and Tad's British tour?

Answer: Heavier Than Heaven

The British promoters came up with that name because of Nirvana's "heavy" sound and the weight of Tad Doyle (300 pounds). Quite cleaver. "Illegal to rock 'n' roll" is the phrase Kurt wrote on an old Mustang guitar. "Lamefest" was the name of the show Sub Pop sponsored, during which, Nirvana opened for Mudhoney and Tad.
"Heavier Than Heaven" is also the title of Kurt's biography written by Charles R. Cross.

6. What was the way Kurt used to spell his name?

Answer: Kurdt

Because he wanted to create a "new personality" for himself. Very nice of him...

7. What is the title of the song Kurt wrote for Tracy?

Answer: About A Girl

He never told her that this song was written for her though.

8. What are the correct names of the other Nirvana members?

Answer: David Grohl and Krist Novoselic

Although sometimes you see Novoselic's name spelled as "Chris", his name is really spelled "Krist". Mark Lanegan was a member of "Screaming Trees", Tad Doyle was a member of "Tad", and Steve Turner was a member of "Mudhoney".

9. What is the title of the movie in which Kurt first saw Courtney Love?

Answer: Straight to Hell

The movie also starred Joe Strummer and Elvis Costello. Love played "Velma". Also, "200 Cigarettes" was made in 1999, so Kurt could not see it since he died in 1994.

10. What Nirvana's song do these lyrics come from: "I'm so tired I can't sleep; I'm a liar and a thief"

Answer: Pennyroyal Tea

All these songs come from the album "In Utero". I hope you had fun :)
