Kurt Cobain was just as money-driven as most wannabe rock stars...

Well the way I see it, had Kurt not been so 'motivated' his songs would not still be with us even though he is not. I've worked with hundreds of artists and the only ones doing if for arts sake had day jobs or trust funds. Perhaps Canadians can luxuriate in their art with their social welfare and universal healthcare, but below the 49th baby, art is truly a luxury.
And dont get all "what would you know about Canada" on me, I was born and raised there, made records there and now live in the US. It really is different here, I'm not saying its better, it just is. Michael Moore touches on this in his brave film Fairenheight 911. Sincerly, bab.
