…I remember being in year 12 when Kurt died. That day our school footy (AFL) team had an inter-school match. I brought along a bunch of black electrical tape, and we all put on arm bands for the game.

We were doing our warm up exercises or what-not, and our coach noticed the arm bands. He went ballistic at us - as if a dead Kurt wasn’t a good enough reason to wear arm bands! So we had to take them off.

When the game started I went to my position on the field, and my opponent said “Were you wearing those arm bands for Kurt?”. I said yes. He said “We wanted to do that, but our coach wouldn’t let us.”

Oh, the shared pain!
