I've always loved Nirvana :D I can still remember the day i heard Kurt died :(. I couldn't believe it this genious musician was gone, i've been sad and angry about it a long time. I too believe he didn't kill himself..

Rape me - In Kurt's words, the song is a sort of poetic justice. A guy rapes a girl, he ends up in jail, and is raped there

I heard in an interview that the meaning of this song is about the recordlabels abusing (raping) their artist to make a lot of money
