Cobain town keeping welcome sign

After hearing from fans of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana across the United States, the Washington state city of Aberdeen is keeping the words "Come as you are" on a welcome sign.

Mayor Bill Simpson received more than 300 emails after reports that the reference to a Nirvana song would be dropped when the sign is replaced.

Cobain grew up in Aberdeen and "Come as you are" was added to the "Welcome to Aberdeen" sign in 2005 following the 10-year anniversary of his 1994 death in Seattle.
