I say yes. For many reasons, but the most pressing one is this:

She has too much control over everything, and will skew the truth and the angle to suit her own ego and delusions.

I still don't get all the Courtney hate. She wasn't the one stupid enough to put a shotgun to her head.

Yup. And loved her from all accounts. Blaming her for his demise is bullshit.

Oh, and I even like the new Hole record.

i don't hate her for presumably killing Cobain, or because she made some mediocre grunge albums. she's got plenty of other annoying traits as well.

As somebody who loves the first three Hole cds I wish that she would just disappear. It makes being a fan of her music difficult at times.

Hasn't it been 15 years or so since he died? I don't see how it's too soon.

And I think Courtney is a joke, but (a) I do like Hole, (b) I can just ignore her public actions, and (c) why shouldn't she be in control of Kurt's estate and all things that go with it?

I'm kind of surprised that so many people like Hole.

Loudmouthed drug addled drunken male rock star = par for the course, possibly a legend, no one bats an eye

This is horseshit, but thanks for the lesson in stereotypes and cliche.

Its ok. That's coming from an unapologetic Gus Van Sant fan. Its full of his standard morose, long-takes without dialog, so if that doesn't bother you then I say go for it. Its been awhile since I've taken it off the shelf to watch it, so I'm foggy of what and what doesn't exactly follow the rough KC timeline. I just remember thinking it was ok, and that it wasn't completely repulsive like I thought it would be.

I think I posted a link or something about this biopic awhile back. This guy was in the running for Kurt:

I am too but when you think about how many smashing pumpkins fans there are here it makes more a little more sense.

Not sure if you think that society characterizing men and women that way is bullshit or if you just somehow don't think it applies in this case. Doesn't really matter though since either way you're wrong.


See...I can just state my opinion as unadulterated fact with nothing to back it up too.

I'm assuming Rads took umbrage to the post as an example of lazy thinking. I did.
