Kurt Cobain's rider? 'only Kraft macaroni and cheese'



His gut problems were exacerbated by his tour diet which, as stipulated in his band Nirvana's rider, consisted of 'only Kraft macaroni and cheese'. He refused outright to 'eat anything green' and, before he turned to heroin, used painkillers washed down with something called Strawberry Quik to ease the pain. The stomach pains persisted, becoming more debilitating as his fame grew. 'They're good for my anger,' he once quipped, though it seems more likely that, like his bilious songs, they were simply another symptom of that same anger.
