The 22-year-old opens up to Rolling Stone (where she once interned).

Frances Bean Cobain was not yet two when her father, Kurt Cobain, committed suicide. Now 22-years-old and a visual artist, Frances is set to release Montage of Heck, the Kurt Cobain documentary that she executive produced. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Frances speaks publicly about her father for the first time.

“I don’t really like Nirvana that much [grins]. Sorry, promotional people, Universal,” she confesses. “I’m more into Mercury Rev, Oasis, Brian Jonestown Massacre [laughs]. The grunge scene is not what I’m interested in.”

“But ‘Territorial Pissings’ is a fucking great song. And ‘Dumb’ – I cry every time I hear that song. It’s a stripped-down version of Kurt’s perception of himself – of himself on drugs, off drugs, feeling inadequate to be titled the voice of a generation.”

Despite not being a fan of her father’s music, she didn’t feel awkward: “I would have felt more awkward if I’d been a fan. I was around 15 when I realized he was inescapable. Even if I was in a car and had the radio on, there’s my dad.

“He’s larger than life. And our culture is obsessed with dead musicians. We love to put them on a pedestal. If Kurt had just been another guy who abandoned his family in the most awful way possible . . . But he wasn’t. He inspired people to put him on a pedestal, to become St. Kurt. He became even bigger after he died than he was when he was alive. You don’t think it could have gotten any bigger. But it did.”

Montage of Heck will premiere on HBO on May 4 and in select theaters starting Friday.
