"I see dead people". Well we did today, four of them to be precise. As we were in Seattle we decided to pay our respects to four legends, the first was to visit Kurt Cobain's house. After about three hours of driving back and forth across the same bridge we worked out that in the US they call different streets the same name but add a sneaky little E or W at the end of the name for East and West. This confused us for the whole morning, but eventually we found his house (which now has no number, another thing that confuses us about the US is the numbering system, as they seem to make them up as they please rather than put them in order). The house has been changed since when Kurt lived and died there, as Courteney Love knocked down the greenhouse room where he shot himself, as it became a mecca for Nirvana fans, but there is a little park next to the house which has been dubbed Kurt's Park, and people have written tributes on the benches. Next stop was to Jimi Hendrix's grave. A bit easier to find and more impressive, Jimi's dad built a memorial to him less than 10 years ago after he finally received the rights to his music (before then he could barely even afford to fly his body home from London in 1970). It's now a Hendrix family plot, and his dad is buried there now , as he died before the memorial was finished. The next day we visited Bruce and Brandon Lee's gravesite, which is a lot more low key than Jimi's. Basically there are just headstones and a bench which I think Bruce's wife and daughter put there, but the words on the headstones are really nice. A bit morbid I know, but you've got to pay your respects. Seattle was not what we expected really. After watching shows like Frasier and from all we'd heard we expected a really nice city, but again we were a bit disappointed as there was a huge homeless problem and we were constantly asked for money. We had wanted to go to some bars and clubs where the grunge scene started, but it didn't really feel all that safe. Still we did get to the rock museum which was fantastic. Bill Gate's Microsoft partner (forgotten his name unfortunately) started up a rock museum in Seattle, which I think was originally to pay homage to Jimi, but in the end became a generic rock museum. It had the history of guitars, hip hop and grunge. There were loads of hand written lyrics, guitars and memorabilia from some of my favourite bands, and also there was a whole section on Jimi Hendrix which included hand written lyrics, loads of his outfits and also his favourite guitar which he played at Woodstock (the white fender) and part of the guitar he burnt at Monterey. It's supposed to be the best Hendrix museum in the world and we could see why. Allison is now a big Hendrix fan! Next stop Pacific Highway.
