Cobain Continues: A Kurt Cobain Survives Collaborative Timeline

September 23, 2003-Nirvana begins a proper full tour for Dixie Dope, launching in Zurich, Switzerland at the Hallenstadion. During the shows, Frances trots out at certain spots to play additional guitar or percussion as well as backing vocals.

September 29, 2003-Woe And Witlessness in D.C. is published, along with a sort of autobiography previously in the works, Kingdom Of Fear. Hunter S. Thompson soon receives new attention and crowds to his writings, especially from those considering this his finest work in decades.
 
(I don't add things to TV Tropes, and it's not really my thing, especially with how they treat politics there)
 
(Grohl would be a subversion of Breakup Breakout. During Nirvana's brief time apart, the Foo Fighters are modestly successful, but once they reform, he abandons them again for Nirvana.)
 
(Yes, in some ways. However, since Kurt doesn't do heroin, that meant Courtney never did, since she'd been off it for three years when they became an item, and she chose to do it again to be with Kurt, and the Vanity Fair piece as we know it didn't exist. Of course, since Courtney IOTL hasn't done heroin since '94 but been strung out on just about everything else, not much else would change, really)
 
(I dunno)

September 30, 2003-Nirvana and Janet Jackson are in direct competition to do the Super Bowl halftime show. It is unclear how a decision will be made.

November 20, 2003-Legendary record producer Phil Spector is indicted for the murder of B-movie actress Lana Clarkson at his mansion in Alhambra, California
 
BTW the Super Bowls in this timeline are the same expect for lets say I want the Browns beating the Giants (I put earlier that they become the Orlando Ravens instead) in Super Bowl 35. And lets say the Houston Oliers never relocate and Los Angleas get a team called the Knights.
 
October 12, 2003-Nirvana plays an open-air show in Bali on the first anniversary of the horrific al Qaeda bombing.

October 15, 2003-NASA announces that the revamped Space Shuttle will be up and running again in February, on target to finish the International Space Station by 2010, and to phase out the Shuttle at that point.
 
(Yes, that sounds about right. Does it remain a touring festival, or become the three-day set at Grant Park like in our timeline?)
