Belial Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/3...e.ap/index.html Courtney Love to sell Kurt Cobain's things- NEW YORK (AP) -- Courtney Love, widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain, says she plans to sell most of his belongings. "I'm going to have a Christie's auction," Love, 42, tells AOL music Web site Spinner.com. "(My house) is like a mausoleum." Love and Cobain wed in 1992 and had a daughter, Frances Bean, that year. Cobain committed suicide in 1994. "My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant ... bag full of flannel ... shirts," says Love, former frontwoman of the rock band Hole. "A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just ... sell." No date has been set for the auction, AOL publicist Kurt Patat told The Associated Press on Monday. AOL is owned by Time Warner, CNN.com's parent company. Love, whose upcoming album is titled, "Nobody's Daughter," says friends support the idea. "Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity." She'll have a chance to move on from Cobain, too. "I still wear his pajamas to bed. How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?" Dirty bitch is just selling his shit for the cash... If she really was sick of it, she should just throw it out. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/04/3...e.ap/index.html Dirty bitch is just selling his shit for the cash... If she really was sick of it, she should just throw it out. Why else would someone sell shit... I mean throwing it out would be retarded because you wouldn't make money off of it. This still doesn't change the fact that she's a dirty bitch. Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Who cares, Nirvana sucked anyway (except for maybe a couple of songs). Really, though, it's a good money making idea. There are people out there, wealthy people, with crappy taste in music who will pay an arm and a leg for his stuff, and they don't need it. Link to comment

GummyBearOfDoom Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hey Jeff how would you a punch to the fuckin face... no dissin Grohl's group buddy boy. They did suck. Edit. My opinions are facts. So it must be true. Right? or not Link to comment

Natsu Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 even I'm not a huge Nirvana fan, but jus because you don't like the music doesn't mean that they suck, they call that being smallminded. Link to comment
Samurai Drifter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 No, they actually did suck. My opinion is unalterable fact. Link to comment
GummyBearOfDoom Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 No, they actually suck. My opinion is unalterable fact. Nirvana sucked so hard my dick got wet. Link to comment
darkon Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Let's get back to the topic at hand. Francis Bean turns 18 in 3 years. Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Let's get back to the topic at hand. Francis Bean turns 18 in 3 years. i read that as Francis Bacon and thought "why the hell would you name your kid..." Link to comment
Natsu Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I never knew that they had a kid though. Link to comment
margot Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 ehh who cares? it's true it's probably harder to move on with her life with all of his stuff around. Link to comment
amy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 yeah he's dead, why can't she sell his stuff =\ Link to comment
noodle Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 i read that as Francis Bacon and thought "why the hell would you name your kid..." like bean is such an awesome name? granted, i hate courtney love, this doesn't really add to it. it would be nice if some stuff went to some sort of museum or something... i'd just hate to see some of Kurt's stuff end up on e-bay.

Mithrandir Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nirvana sucked, but I think Kurt Cobain was a good guy. I dunno Courtney Love always kinda rubbed me the wrong way, I don't hate her or anything but I've got a healthy dislike going. Selling his stuff seems kinda disrespectful, I mean if I were her I'd put it into storage or something. I don't think if you really love someone you could just sell their things like that. I mean moving on is one thing but capitalizing on something like this just seems disrespectful. Link to comment

Wind Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'd say donate it to a museum / rock and roll hall of fame... that way it is on display for all to see rather than some greedy bastard. Link to comment
Silver Cyclone Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 even I'm not a huge Nirvana fan, but jus because you don't like the music doesn't mean that they suck, they call that being smallminded. Brian I don't like the music but saying a band sucks doesn't mean you're saying it just because you don't like the music and is not being small minded at all. I personally like many different forms of music not just metal. I like listening to talented musicians and it is very easy to argue that Nirvana were very very very far from a talented band and they did indeed "suck" because of this. Also Brian if you would like to argue over this (I mean this in a friendly way oh how I love a good debate) about how talent is based on opinion etc take it to SDnD. :D On the topic at hand. I whole heartedly agree that love is being a bitch. Shouldn't it be up to the daughter what she wants to get rid of it's her inheritance. God if Harris was my dad I would want everything he fucking owned. Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 "Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and spend it on smack." fixed. Link to comment
Ceraziefish Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 ^ Hahaa, so true. Anyway, Nirvana. I don't have an overly huge amount of affection for them but I do think one thing; if Courtney Love just dumped this stuff, it would give all the crust punks in Seattle a reason to live. We don't want to encourage the crust punks. Link to comment
stranger Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 meh, i'm actually surprised she still has that stuff, you can't exactly call her greedy since she's leaving the most prized possessions with their daughter. and burning it would be the fucking stupidest thing she could possibly do, good call on that Link to comment
The Lone Magician Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 My friend will flip. He's a huge Nirvana fanboy. Link to comment
HappyLittleBoozer Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'd sell his shit too. There are billions of dumbasses would buy shit once owned by a mediocre junkie who became famous because the 90's hit and everyone decided it would be a good idea to a willingly become self-righteous about nothing and stupid about everything.
