what the note said?
Rocket J. Squirrel
It's official everbody. Kurt Cobain is dead. He shot his own head
off and left a suicide note. Heard this info on WHFS, a local radio station.
Why would he do such a thing? He had the best band in the world, was
making mounds of money, and had a kid.

currently that Kurt Cobain has committed suicide. A local radio
station has reported that Seattle Police have found the body of a
mid 20s male, long blonde hair dead on the scene at the Cobain's
house.

press statement expressing their sorrow over the loss? There was another
release from some entertainment company as well reported on KROQ here in
LA a little after one this afternoon.
Officially, until the police say it's Cobain, it can't be said to be him,
but come on folks.
A sad day to say the least

morning in his home. He evidently commited suicide by a gunshot wound to
the head. Really sad - a major loss to alternative music.

Why is it that people assume as if "If *I* were Kurt Corbain, I'd ... blah
blah blah...". But you're not. If the man was thinking, he probably wouldn't
have shot himself to begin with (personally I suspect Jeff Gilhooley is
involved as Tonya Harding was looking to front Nirvana). Think? I imagine
that if I were in the state of mind where I'd be seriously considering suicide,
I'd bet "thinking", at least rationally, was the last thing I'd be capable
of doing.
Yeah, all these know-it-alls can say he's a jerk, and idiot, etc., as if
somehow if they were in his shoes they'd do things much differently. What
a crock. 99.9% knew the guy no more than they probably know their local
librarian. Yeah, I think Corbain's suicide was a stupid waste, but to
call the guy an idiot for it, etc. as if to assume that they would have
done something totally different if it was them is even more thickheaded.
Unless you can tell me that you totally understand the guy's
emotional and mental state (something we'll never probably know), shuddup
and talk about something that you do know before we get all self-righteous
while talking through our rectums.
Yeah, and if I were Michael Jordan, I'd still be playing basketball...

what we DO know is the moronic stuff that Cobain said before he died... like he
hated the fact that teenage girls were buying his albums and lining his fucking
pockets with gold... he couldn't "handle" the trappings of fame, YET THE
FUCKHEAD STILL GOT ON STAGE.... ARRGGGHH........... if thine eye offends thee
pluck it out...!!!! if thine fame offends thee... get off the fucking
stage...
i feel bad about his personal life and how turbulent it was, but i can't
forgive the venom that came spurting out everytime he opened his mouth..... do
YOU feel bad that he was famous..? I don't. I'm sorry Kurt...you wrote few
good songs and you became famous... tragic, ain't it?

I guess he's off the fucking stage now. I won't bother with the stupid
Shakespeare "All the world's..." quote.

No, I don't, but maybe for some reason he did feel bad because he became
famous. Or maybe worse, he felt bad because he didn't enjoy making music
anymore, but was obligated to because he was famous, had fans, contracts,
etc.
You seem to think that Kurt was a sellout and full of shit. Well, maybe
you're right and Kurt suddenly discovered that raving, insensitive jerks
like you were right. Maybe he did sellout. He sold the only thing in
the world he loved, his music. And other people loved it, especially
people who made money from it. And after he sold it, nothing could buy
it back.
Yeah, so Kurt lamented that his success was empty. That money wasn't
everything. Perhaps this was 'moronic' in your estimation, you who
are so qualified to judge other men. I'm sure we wouldn't hear you
complain about getting rich off of teenage girls after selling your
soul. Undoubtedly, you'd think it was quite a good deal, considering
you have no soul to sell.

how much he hates fame. As soon as he does, millions of people all over
the world spend countless hours debating and mourning a man who didn't
even want them to know he existed (or so he said.) I hope, for his sake,
his soul isn't trapped on Earth and he is forced to see all of this.

Cobain. I'm not asking you to love him or think he's great or miss him
terribly (even though some of us do.) The point is that he's dead.
Suicide isn't funny no matter who it is. I think you ought to think
about some of the things you're saying. It's really said that anyone
could find their life to be so miserable that death is more appealing.
