Kurt,
I will never forget the first time I heard your music. It immediately resonated with something deep inside me – I can’t quite describe the feeling. It was like hearing something I was made to hear, something that I had never heard before. That was 15 years ago, and your music still inspires and challenges me like no other art I have ever encountered. Your passion, sadness, authenticity, and honestly stand out as something real, true, and deep against the backdrop of a fake, branded, and sold-out world. There are few things that strike a chord in my soul as deep as your music, especially your scream. I have never really gotten over your death. It’s all so sad and so tragic. Thank you for what you gave to me; thank you for what you gave to the world. I feel so sorry for you. I wish so badly that you could have found happiness. I pray for you sometimes. With peace, love and empathy,
