His Ex Never Knew…
At one point, Kurt’s ex-girlfriend helped him out financially, and her supporting him in his finances frustrated her. Her name was Tracy Marander, and for whatever reason, she had no idea that the song called About a Girl was actually inspired by her. It was only after Cobain’s death that she came to know that she had inspired the song. She and Cobain had even lived together for some time, and the photo on the album cover was one that she had taken. How Marander found out about the song was when she read the book, Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana.
