Kurt Cobain & RW Fassbinder

Bizarre connection ... but both lived short, intense, creative lives with heavy drug use:



"I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away."
--Kurt Cobain, 1994 (1967-1994)

"Everyone must decide for himself whether it is better to have a brief but more intensely felt existence or to live a long and ordinary life."
--Rainer Werner Fassbinder (1945-1982, director, writer, actor, producer, editor... completed 44 projects between 1966 and 1982).
