from Own Your Awkward · host Andy Vargo
Joseph Hulscher was born and raised in Aberdeen, Washington, and began journaling the legend of this story as early as 2007. KCGB -The Boy From the Porch - My Dying Mom and Kurt Cobain is his first memoir. Joseph is the 2nd of 6 children, sharing the family home with four brothers and a sister. They are a part of this story as the memoir delivers an intimate retelling of interactions the famed grunge rocker, Kurt Cobain, had with our mother and siblings during a mid-1980s turning point in Cobain's life in Aberdeen, Washington. I was given a front-row seat to understanding Aberdeen and all the characters in this story, meeting Krist Novoselic in 9th grade at Miller Junior High School. As new kids at school that year, we shared the same road. There are many myths and legends concerning Kurt Cobain and his years living in Aberdeen, Washington, and many truths. The author spent his first 25 years living, working, and playing in the streets of life in town and has returned yearly on multiple occasions for 58 years. It was a different world back then. No internet, no cell phones, real conversations with real people. Grays Harbor will forever be recognized as my home away from home.
