Hometown council votes against naming bridge after Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain's home town will not be renaming a bridge after the late Nirvana front man.

Council members in Aberdeen, Washington, voted 10-1 against a resolution to rename the bridge.

KXRO reported the vote against the Cobain rename drew applause from the audience at the council meeting.

Some people were concerned about memorialising the grunge rock musician because of his drug use, suicide and negative comments about his home town.

The council did vote to name a small body of land on the Wishkah River the Cobain Landing.
