This is the place                     we fell in love. It was in 1991
everyone listened to Nirvana. Their latest CD                                I bought immediately
was a great hit. Curt Cobain,             music was in all ways extreme, just celebrated his 25th
birthday. He,                     introduced grunge to the world, was my idol. But the other day, I
lost the CD. I could not think of any room              I could lose it and frankly, not even of
any time                it could happen. I was devastated. But then, I met a girl
was screaming at the road: „              CD is it?“ „It is mine!“ She looked at me and asked. „How
do I know it is yours?“ I did not know what to say. I did not have any paper
would show it is mine. „Well, it is me                      lost it. I have no proof. But I am the
biggest fan!“ She said: „No, it is me                       is the biggest fan. Anyway, this cd
            owner we do not know, would now the year                        Cobain was born.“ „Of
course I do! 1975!“ „OK, I will give it to you. But only if you listen to it somewhere
  I am too. I love Nirvana.“
