What is Pearl Jam s connection with Kurt Cobain?
Cobain was the lead singer of Nirvana, as I m sure you know, but the media made this big rivalry between PJ and Nirvana. At first Kurt went along with the rivalry openly insulting the band, but he later reconciled and admitted to liking Ed as a friend. The media made the rivalry out to be much more than it was, and there was actually a lot of mutual respect. After Cobain committed suicide Ed was very shaken up, as you could see from the live performances after Cobain s death. There was a period of not knowing if there was a future to Pearl Jam.
