Courtney Plans to Sell Kurt's Stuff
- Posted on Apr 30th 2007 10:00AM by Steve Baltin
"I'm going to have a Christie's auction," she tells Spinner. "[My house] is like a mausoleum. My daughter [14-year-old Frances Bean] doesn't need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel f***ing shirts ... A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to 'Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just f***ing sell."
Love says her friends are supportive of the idea. "Everyone's been positive and behind me on it," she says. "We'll make a lot of money and give a bunch of it to charity."
On Love's upcoming confessional album, 'Nobody's Daughter,' she opens the Pandora's box that is her past relationships, which include rockers Trent Reznor and Billy Corgan, and actor Edward Norton. While some in the media have speculated that the entire album was inspired by a recent unnamed paramour, Love says that's not the case. "There are two songs that are specifically about this guy; the rest of them have bits of Kurt, bits of Edward, bits of lots of people in them."
'Sunset Marquis' -- a song that rises from an acoustic intro into a pop/rocker with a Zeppelin-esque tinge, then culminates in vintage Love emotion as she screams, "You're the dance of my despair" -- is based on multiple experiences at the hotel of the same name, including some with Cobain. "Me and Kurt stayed at the Sunset Marquis a lot," she says.
Love says Cobain's impact on her is still considerable. "I still wear his pajamas to bed," she says. "How am I ever going to go form another relationship in my lifetime wearing Kurt's pajamas?"

Dang, Kim. My former therapist has recently relocated. Where do you live? She may be nearby and she is very good.

Sell that sh*t. I've kept few of my mother's things and my favorite is this old battered water wand she used for her much-loved plants; never could get her to buy a nice new one. A great symbol of what she was all about.

COURNTEY LOVE NEEDS TO ROT FROM THE INSIDE OUT!!! SHE NEEDS TO DIE A HORRIBLE AND AGONIZING DEATH!!!! SHE FUCKING KILLED KURT COBAIN, AND SHE NEEDS TO DIE BECAUSE OF IT!! I THINK THAT FRANCES SHOULD GET ALL OF HIS THINGS AND COURNEY LOVE SHOULD NOT GET ANY OF HIS MONEY, OR ANYTHING!! SHE IS A STUPID FUCKING WHORE WITH NO TALENT. SHE WAS ONLY WITH KURT COBAIN TO GET MONEY FOR HER AND HER SHITTY LITTLE FUCKING BAND!!!
LONG LIVE KURT COBAIN!!!
BURY COURNEY LOVE 12 FEET UNDER THE FUCKING DIRT!!!

To me, the right thing to do is to not profit from her husbands demise, but give back to a drug awareness charity rather.

I'm sorry, but this bitch makes me sick. IMO, if Kurt Cobain committed suicide, then so did John Lennon. Courtney Love is a talentless joke whom no one would ever have heard of if it hadn't been for the genius of her husband, who wrote songs for her band.
And I'd love to see her tax statements after that Christie's auction, just to see what she considers "a lot" of money she'll be giving "to charity."
I hope Frances takes more after her Dad, at least as far as a sense of decency goes. I'd never wish her the emotional and physical pain that her father endured, but I'd sure hate to see her grow up to be like her doped-up, drunken ho of a mother.

FRANCES SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECIDE WHAT SHE WANTS AND DOESN'T WANT - NOT COURTNEY... I STILL AM NOT CONVINCED THAT HE SHOT HIMSELF. I FEEL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WAS SOMEHOW INVOLVED.
