Rehab reject still sniffing glue (cobain_x_mortis) wrote in aboutaband, @ 2004-05-03 11:41:00

Current mood:

curious

I have an honest to bob question, no drama intended.

Okay honestly, who in here has read Cobain's journals and not felt like they were totally going against his wishes seeing as how he WAS a private person and by buying/reading/recommending them, you are just going along with what Courtney Love's plan is, to snare people in to sheling out big bucks for somethnig that Kurt Cobain would never allow to be published?

Am I the only one that can consider herself a fan because she listens to the music, or in this big record industry world, do I have to shell out the big bucks to buy every peice of merchandise with the man's face plastered all over it just to say I have it?

I honestly feel like someone is twisting a knife in my gut when I see his journals sitting in the bookstores for 30% off and it kills me more when people tell em that if I "really want to understand him" I should read heavier than heaven nd the journals, both of which were overly endorsed and practically written /directed by miss love herself. If you want to truly understand kurt, listen to the fricken music.

My thoughts exactly to the T. Buying and reading into the privacy he himself said he didn't want publicized is raping his rights as a private person. I'm not knocking you if you bought the book -- if anyone did, good for you -- I just won't go against Kurt's wishes and shell out cash for something he didn't want anyone else to read. I read a quote somewhere, in his journals he says there's pages missing or something and he feels like he was "raped" or something of that nature. That there says it all... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I didn't buy it but everyone I know that knows I like Nirvana felt obligated to buy them for me. They're in a locked box under my bed where they should have remained in the first place. I don't want to sell them to anyone because I'M not making any money off of his journals I'm not Courtney. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
