Cobain Continues: A Kurt Cobain Survives Collaborative Timeline

(Typical deflection of the modern GOP, trying to keep saying the problem was really Clinton, not him, and he worked as part of Bush's campaign to try and spike things. But with ITTL's different Gore strategy, it was far more difficult)
 
(Also, he more quickly becomes a Fox News contributor, and becomes an acolyte of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity's style)
 
July 2002-Frank Zappa states on his podcast that "never before have I really wished for Democrats to take control of Congress again. But these people in charge, they bring shame to the Republican Party. They want nothing more than to control our bodies, our minds, and push bigotry as an agenda. I'm ashamed of what they have become. And so, dear listeners, officially as of today, I renounce my membership in the Republican Party. From now on, call me an independent. I am for nothing more than competency, honesty, and respecting our individual rights. And I want this fucking TSA over and done with. I want secure airports, but not like this!"

February 12, 2003-Frank Zappa comments on the revote. "I know I personally always tell people to get out and vote. However, I'm sitting this one out. I can't in good conscience support either of these two clowns. And they're the only ones on the ballot this time around. You all know I believe that President Bush is a buffoon that is the face of a new hostility. But I still remember Al Gore and his wife targeting me in '85, and I will never forgive them for that. So, I'm not voting in this one. But I'll be glad to do so when there are other alternatives again."
 
January 5, 2003-Cobain is asked about the release of Out of the Box during an MTV News report about it. "I think it is a tribute to what these three were capable of.

His voice would be much more appreciated in this time of strife."
