Summary

A 1993 anecdote about Kurt Cobain calling Sepultura's Max Cavalera to ask where to score heroin in Brazil before a festival performance.

The article explores this darkly humorous rock history moment, touching on Cobain's well-documented struggles with addiction and the surreal intersection of two major metal and grunge figures.
