[@alibi7617]

That's very astute; perhaps cos when I stumbled upon this hate fest, I (very fascinated, very funny ) gradually stopped laughing at the passionate and vicious campaign against Courtney Love. How she has survived is astounding, n goes far beyond anything I have witnessed. Ever. The shit I have copped for suggesting that perhaps Kurt finally did what he had been talking about doing for as long as he could manage to struggle to a microphone. The numerous photos of him w/ Dave n Kris, n solo with a gun in his mouth, statements such as :" I'd rather be dead than cool". Much of this was pre his wife. But I have repeatedly asked where were his band, friends, family. Now I believe what I have always just assumed. He was deeply depressed (having been there myself, sans the suicidal urge) n this was undiagnosed, or he refused treatment, I don't know. But, I do know that in that state, the better n more wishes come true, u feel even worse cos, hey, u got the world at your feet, n all the dreams fulfilled, so why do I feel so bad? And, fm experience, u either seriously get professional help n work within that frame till u stop wanting to die, or u die after years of misery, or u shoot yourself in the family home n leave yr wife n child alone to cop the stoning; Kurt was media savvy, he knew what was going to come, but still left his loved ones 2 face the fire. Yep, I have also argued that Dave had motive, access, etc but I don't believe that anyone could have stopped the death. Everyone tried in some way to 'help' but why does his wife continue to be Lady Macbeth, 30yrs later? The sad fact about suicide is that it may obliterate the murderer's pain (read Dante's inferno. Suicides are in the 7th circle, very bad. So maybe Kurt regrets the obsession with guns), n it's transferred to the survivors. If one is an very tough, honest, smart, beautiful- pre the dire cosmetic surgery- WOMAN...., signed, sealed, delivered. No foul play by anyone except the deliberate auto killer.

[@D00M3R-SK8]

the guy she got to kill him as well (unless he was a loose end) there's a few theories, and they all implicate her in his death in some way.

I'm stunned you left out the most biting and devastatingly-pointed song about Ms. Love, the Primus and Tom Waits masterpiece, "Coattails of a Dead Man." I mean, just read the lyrics: He wasn't lookin' for fanfare or fame But it all came around just the same. He then met a girl with desire in her eye, He gave her love, she took his name. The times they were good, the times they were bad, Most times it was just in between. The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had, She put on display for all to be seen. Some find their solace in work or the lord, She was quite content in her dream. When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light, He found comfort in the bottle of Ol' Jimmy Beam. One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole, He reached out for something to feel. She offered back nothin' but lack of respect So he left himself out with two barrels of steel. She cried in the day, she cried in the night. She cried loudest when someone was near. Whether crying for him or she cried for herself, The bigger the camera, the bigger the tear. Most folks agree that she was living a hell And publicly she showed her pain. And never once was there a thought for herself, And the ever-growing slices of fortune and fame. Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride. On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride, On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride high. If that doesn't perfectly sum up Love and Cobain, I don't know what does.

Male celebrties do whatever they want they just judged by their music, but with female artists it has to be about who theyre dating or how appropriate they're behaving? Anyway, I appreciate both their music although you can't compare. Hole's Live Through This has gone down in grunge rock's history as a masterpiece.

Ali Bi on that beautiful butt of yours again. No matter how n what I present/offer ( n I have a pH.D in philosophy, your music a beautiful soundtrack to every page, 1 way or another) but have just copped such vitriol, for asserting simply, that you are not at all, anything anyone imagines. I simply ask questions a Phil 101 student could answer. I have sorta given up cos all the hatred u, um, inspire is nothing I want. But, u r right, everyone talks about how evil u r, constantly, like a kinda necrophiliac OCD case (fm them). I keep asking 'why?'. Having played alot of power wrestling, I have chosen to hit back whenever I can. Like u, I've spent my life (yep, even in those hallowed walls of academia) being, unknowingly n persistingly, a lightning rod 4 misogyny from men n (much more hurtfully) women. I can't get over your bravery, refusal 2 back down, n yr maintenance of integrity cos a couple of loony txts (as da haters can't attack me for info, nor for questioning the veracity of my response) say I am so dumb that my 'grammer n syntax' r so poor that YOU could have written them!! A great compliment, I reckon. On that topic, cd u get all those who 'wrote yr songs'- yep, even some Kurt channelling- for me too please? I am so proud of the response u sent (

[@alibi7617]

Wrong button, story of my life. I did try n point out that Henry Rollins has talked incessantly about his brush with death, but nobody calls him a 'professional survivor'. Again, one response was 'I love Henry Rollins n hate Courtney Love. I don't see the comparison' . I am still stunned: here we have 2 very talented people, same kinda era, BUT, the 1 whom I wd think has a far greater reason to mourn-i won't go into it now cos I don't want to cause more pain- like, it was more than just a close friend, but her husband n father of FB, in their home. I have tried to point out that Henry is encouraged to live his grief, Courtney isn't. If that ain't patriarchy n misogyny in technicolour, if I seem 2 b the only person who can point to the polar opposites of a man n a woman, then it's all been 4 nothing. I'll maintain the rage no matter what. And, hey, thanks for the music.

Just wanna say, "forever in debt to your priceless advice" was not brought up in an argument. It was actually written in a letter from Kurt to Courtney somewhere between 91-92.
