Frances Bean admitted cries every time she hears Something In The Way

 Frances Bean admitted she cries every time she hears "Something in the Way" from Nirvana's

Frances says she didn't feel weird for not having that interest that teenagers showed to her father's music. “I would feel weirder if I had been his fan. I was 15 when I realized I couldn't escape him. Even when I was in a car and my radio was on, there was my father. He has reached beyond his death, our culture is obsessed with dead musicians. We love putting them on a pedestal. If Kurt had been another man who had abandoned his family in the worst possible way ... but it was not. He inspired people and put him on a pedestal, which made him "San Kurt." He got bigger even after his death, it didn't seem like he could become bigger, but it was. ”

"He's larger than life and our culture is obsessed with dead musicians," Frances Bean added to Rolling Stone. "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. I've 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.

Still, Frances Bean admitted she cries every time she hears "Something In The Way" from Nirvana's "Neverming" album, and describes "Territorial Pissings" off  as a "great song."

About "Something In The Way," Bean said, "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."
