Kurt
Cobain's diaries to be published
Though I'm not a big Nirvana fan, I do recognize the band's talent and importance. And I have an odd fascination with people like Kurt Cobain. (Another figure I've recently become interesed in is Lee Mavers of The La's.) Anyway, the sample entries from Cobain are revealing and sad. Reading this, I felt like I was inside some sort of fish tank with Kurt, talking with him as many people stared in at us from the other side of the glass. He is no different than many of the people I grew up with. His tone reminds me of people I went to high school with. Then one day, he got famous and his old world was gone. He didn't want to leave his old world. He was evicted and forced in to a world of phonies. I have to wonder if it's a healthy situation to be in, a world of fantasy. Sure, there's still the music, but eventually that too must necessarily become a product of the fantasy world that's been created. Real music comes from real people being honest and real. I don't see how you could become a rock star and still make music.
Mon Mar 15 22:42:32 2004 - I finally closed off comments for this topic and actually deleted about a dozen of the ones that were posted. I initially did not want to delete any comments. But there are so many nuts out there that have absolutely nothing to say and can only speak in crude, brief profanities... well, there's the kids to think about folks.

I hate it hwen people go on and on about Kurt Cobains death. Why don't people just let him rest in peace, just because your a rock star, doesn't mean your immortal. Just because he was loved and cherished, and world famous doesn't mean he couldn't of committed suicide.
Wow, don't think I've ever gotten 3 comments on one of my posts. In fact, I didn't know I had any hits to this site at all.
To the anonymous kid with no vocabulary, I should apologize for my use of polysyllabic words. Apparently you only understand pronouns and a few single syllable words (and presumeably a lot of hand gestures). Here is a version of the entry you can probably understand:
I NO LIKE MUSIC BUT I YES LIKE KURT THE SINGER. I THINK HE GOOD, SMART MAN. ME THINK HE A MUSIC LEGEND (TRANSLATION: BIG BIG MAN GOOD).
I like Nirvana
Nirvana, the pioneer of grunge music is and always will be the best music forever
KURT COBAIN WAS A VERY TALENTED MAN AND I RESPECT HIM, HE WENT THROUGH ALOT AS HE WAS A CHILD AND I THINK THIS AFFECTED HIM WHEN HE GREW OLDER, LIKE IT WOULD ANYONE. THE BAND AND KURT ARE AMAZING AND STILL ARE AND TO WHOIEVER DOESNT LIKE THEM WHY POST A HATE MESSAGE? FUCKTARD! I LOVE U KURT
Nirvana's influence on rock music is unquestionable, however Kurt (Kurdt)Cobains death is. No matter what the theories we will probably never know the truth, though i hope to god we will. I dont understand certain persons arguments , do you think that abuseing each other will get your point across easier? All the 'so called' nirvana fans who come and say they love kurt cobain should really look inside themselves! he was an amzing song writer and musician and had the talent that sadly very few have today! But to love a man you first must understand him and no one ever understood kurt cobain not even his self! His lyrics are a look inside of him yet they are riddled with lies and plays on the truth. A TRUE nirvana fan listens to the music looks at all the so called's sticks his/her middle finger up and says 'this me accept it'! Dont argue if nirvana is punk/grunge it doesnt matter! as long as you enjoy the music, dont feel if your general music taste is punk that you have to justify it by arguing nirvana is punk! it as all! PUNK ROCK IS FREEDOM! Thanks for Lamefest KURT X RIP
I think that Kurt Cobain is the coolest gut in the world and I think that courtney love killed him because she overdosed later that night and I think that she did because she wasnt able to deal with herself for what she did and the only way to cure the pain was to take drugs. Kurt was a hero and Nirvana will always live on even without Kurt and if you are a true Nirvana fan than you should think the same thing about him.
IM ABOUT TO KILL MYSELF FOR KURT COBAIN TO BE WITH HIM...
whoever posted the first one is stupid
