Cobain Continues: A Kurt Cobain Survives Collaborative Timeline

June 10, 2004-At the Germain Amphitheater in Columbus, Ohio, Zappa joins Nirvana onstage, and they do a medley of several of Zappa's songs. Frances joins in for a rendition of "Valley Girl."
 
June 12th, 2004: While in federal custody, Bush comments on the growing political tension in the U.S. "It makes me sick to see so many people speaking out against the war and our efforts to fight against terrorism. Those folks are dangerous to America and we can't let them come back...so why don't people appreciate it?"
 
June 13, 2004-Cobain responds to Bush's comments. "Seems to me that Dubya thinks we should just sit back and follow what the President does, not matter what. That's not what America was made for. Fighting terrorism is important, but don't bring us to an unwinnable war against a never-defined enemy that can just shift their shapes, and don't create an excuse to win political points."
 
June 15th, 2004: At their next show, an insane pro-Bush fan runs onstage and attacks Cobain, punching him in the face and chest, but the fan is restrained and Cobain suffers only mild injuries.
 
June 17, 2004-Frances is interviewed about the incident. "I'm not that angry about what happened. I'm glad Dad is all right, and I just want us to continue to really bring our message to the fans."
 
June 19th, 2004: Several anti-Cobain protestors accuse Cobain of witholding a proper education from his daughter, who has accompanied him on many Nirvana's performances.
 
June 20, 2004-Cobain gives a full statement online. "Frances has been homeschooled all her life. I took her education very seriously, especially with my mother's help. She helped me find the proper textbooks, activities and tutoring programs for her, and I owe my mother so much for that."
 
June 23rd, 2004: Frances speaks out regarding the accusation that her father is depriving her from being educated. "I'm homeschooled and my dad has made sure that the right people are educating me. My IQ's been tested and it's 128, so I'm ahead of the curve even without some 'conventional' education. Learn before you judge me, idiot haters."
 
June 25, 2004-Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor, adds her own statements. "I'm deeply offended that people suggest that Frances is lacking in anything education-wise. I made sure that she wouldn't want for anything in that regard. I'm proud of who she is growing up to be."
 
June 27th, 2004: Cobain's sister Kimberly Wilson also speaks on behalf of her niece. "My niece is one of the smartest 11 year olds you could meet and not only do I agree, but psychiatrists do too. She's too good for a conventional education system."
 
July 1, 2004-Frances shows off her intellect as well as talent during a stop at the Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre near Denver. Novoselic provides a chart of sentences for her to diagram, which she does onstage.
 
July 20, 2016-The Stronger Together Tour resumes at Citi Field in New York City. Once again, so-called Bernie Bros turn up in droves outside the stadium and protest the show and Frances' support of Hillary Clinton.
 
11 year old TTL me would be so much better off without the crushing, abysmal disappointment that was the NES X-Men game, whether it's replaced with a good or butterflied away completely.
 
July 21, 2016-Frances sits down for an interview with Diane Sawyer concerning her earlier enlistment to fight in Afghanistan, and the experiences that it gave her.

(Feel free to have a sort of extended flashback to 2010 here)
