Without dismissing the accomplishments of her folks (her father was dead before she was 2), [Frances Bean] Cobain advises, “People need to wait until I’ve done something valid with my life.”

That’s a refreshing change from the normal rock and roll / Hollywood scene. Is it possible that the daughter of Curt Cobain and Courtney Love somehow managed to develop into a normal person? That would reinforce my beliefs that humanity can and does improve, despite evidence to the contrary.
I really liked Curt Cobain, so this isn’t a knock on him, but he died when she was two, so his direct influence on her life pales in comparison to the influence of his legacy. The very act of struggling out from under that shadow, not to mention growing up under the influence of Courtney Love is impressive on many levels.
