Cobain Continues: A Kurt Cobain Survives Collaborative Timeline

September 16th, 2001: Cobain responds to Cheney's response to his conference and emphasizes calmly that: "I am not insinuating that all Christians and Jewish people are lunatics. Just that lunatics can belong to any faith and therefore, Christians and Jews are not excluded from this labeling of lunatic. Like I said several days ago, what happened in this city wasn't an Islam problem, it was a lunatic problem. I will not mince my words because certain Christians or Jews were offended by my statements. None of you are exempt from the possibility of being insane, none of you are special snowflakes and none of you have the right to act superior to Islamic people. Capische?"
 
September 17, 2001-Cobain receives a phone call from Paul McCartney, who states that he and the other surviving Beatles are planning a massive relief concert at Madison Square Garden next month, and that they would appreciate it if Nirvana could appear. Cobain agrees to do the show. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball begins their schedule of games again, and artists who postponed dates of their tours slowly start up again.
 
(Yes, but after things have quieted down a bit. Maybe it's released in protest to the Axis of Evil speech. In the meantime, I added a bit about Star Wars, in which the prequel trilogy is the same plot and characters, but with Lawrence Kasdan co-writing with George Lucas to polish the dialogue. That alone would've improved the public perception of the films)
 
(Yes, and he gives a remark about the fanboys that don't accept it, as they still exist, in smaller numbers. It's right under the February '99 call between him and Gore)
 
(Maybe for Halloween, the trio could perform dressed as Luke - Kurt, Darth Vader - Krist and Yoda - Dave?)

(Actually, maybe to emphasize their protest towards the Bush administration, they could dress up as Batman - Kurt, Robin - Krist and Batgirl - Dave, for laughs?)
 
(Yes, Star Wars is their usual Halloween get up, but the Batman thing is perfect for Halloween 2001. Also, I've always been a fan of all the Star Wars films (except the film to lead into the Clone Wars show), and tell everyone that the prequels are far better than they're given credit for. Just fixing the dialogue alone would improve things dramatically while everything else is the same)
 
(I'm not sure if Star Wars would be their usual getup since in 1993 at least, Kurt was Barney, Dave was a mummy and Krist was a white-faced person to protest political correctness)
 
(I mean usual in years of Star Wars releases in theaters, so they don't get to do it again until The Force Awakens)
 
(Yes, I bet that she would do exactly that. Also, I imagine that Kurt also helps spread awareness and fandom of anime and manga, and he actually comes up with Princess Ai, here as a version of what could've been between him and Courtney, since IOTL Courtney conceived of it as her alter-ego)
 
October 31st, 2016: At a Splemain concert in Akron, Ohio, frontwoman Frances Cobain dresses as a female version of Donald Trump for Halloween to protest his Presidential campaign. She spray-paints her skin visibly orange and combs her blond hair to resemble Trump's infamous style. Several times between songs, she plays up her persona as the female Trump to remind the audience why not to vote for him.
 
(Yes, I'm sure you'll come up with something nice there for me to wake up to. Also a nice nod to Brian even with removing him in this timeline. Great movie. I certainly appreciate his point of view more than Mike Love's)
