"Kurt Cobain About a Son," a film portrait of Kurt Cobain by filmmaker AJ Schnack, features the words of Cobain pieced together from about 25 hours of audio taped interviews. The interviews were conducted by music journalist Michael Azerrad for his book, "Come As You Are: the Story of Nirvana." Azerrad's questions aren't in the film, though, so what's left is an intimate story about and by Cobain. Other than Cobain's voice, the only sounds you hear come from the soundtrack, which doesn't actually include any Nirvana songs, only the songs that influenced Cobain. Like any good mix tape, the songs are all over the map. We ask Azerrad to tell us how these songs shaped Cobain and the music of Nirvana.
