Dream, or How I Didn't Become Kurt Cobain

I wake up and I'm 42 years old. And so it passed.

Wife, kid reared, apartment renovated, little stabilization as they say. Only this memory of a childhood dream still does not give peace. I'll be a rock star, like Kurt Cobain! I will, you'll see! When, if not now?

I take out two dusty guitars, a t-shirt with Nirvana, I fire up the gear, I get my voice back. I sing. Will I get myself back too? What is this return to the teenage dream? Or is it not a dream, but — in the end — the desire to live?

Performance with songs by Kurt Cobain and Nirvana. Live. Gdynia. 2026.
