In this photo taken Monday, Sept. 23, 2013, an attic bedroom used by Kurt Cobain, the late frontman of Nirvana, still has the stencil-like logos of bands that he reportedly put on the walls, as well as the holes he put in them, at his childhood home in Aberdeen, Wash. Cobain's mother is putting the tired, 1.5-story Aberdeen bungalow on the market this week, the same month as the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's final studio album. The home, last assessed at less than $67,000, is being listed for $500,000, but the family would also be happy entering into a partnership with anyone who wants to turn it into a museum.
