"I don’t value music much. I like The Beatles, but I hate Paul McCartney."
It's February 1989, and conducting an interview for a magazine called The Daily alongside Jason Everman, his band's new guitarist, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is trying a little too hard to make an impression. Interviewer Phil West is told that Cobain likes Led Zeppelin but hates Robert Plant, likes The Who but hates Roger Daltrey, and is currently going through a phase of writing "gay pop songs", some of which he suggests will very likely end up on the follow-up to his band's Sub Pop debut album Bleach.
