On a day that will celebrate music in Aberdeen, one event that was supposed to take place at Kurt Cobain Memorial Park and underneath the Young Street Bridge just got partially canceled.
A lot of people want to save the North Aberdeen Bridge because of its relation to the grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain, who was born and mostly raised in Aberdeen. But as time goes by it seems less and less likely the bridge will be saved.
Kurt Cobain once wrote the lyric “With the lights out, it’s less dangerous.” On Friday night, that lyric from the famed Nirvana track “Smells like Teen Spirit” seemed to hold up.
People have said for years the Young Street Bridge is an international tourist destination. They’ve talked about how fans from across the globe visit Aberdeen with the hopes of taking the same steps as the late Kurt Cobain, the Aberdeen son who helped build the Grunge music scene with the band Nirvana.
