Even before the POD, Kurt was mostly interested in music. In 1986, Kurt was a poor 19 year old who had formed a band in December of the previous year, and didn't have any resources to leave Seattle - so him in California attempting an acting career is a stretch, specially as he only met the "connection" [[https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/rt79j/i_am_bobcat_goldthwait_ask_me_anything/c48gmz9/|Bobcat Goldthwait after forming Nirvana]]. | **IOTL**: The above is barely plausible ([[offtopic:andrew_t|the author]] [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/dirty-laundry-an-alternate-1980s.231820/page-3#post-6786516|not]] [[https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/1/post-6783148|liking]] Cobain's band helps).
