Dearest Kurt


Dearest Kurt.  One of the first crushes I ever had.  I still have a thing for men in ratty, old t-shirts and grandpa sweaters.

Let's talk about what we think. I wonder where he would be today - what he'd be doing?  Any thoughts?  I think he would have retired from the music industry.  I think The Foo Fighters would have come into existence after Nirvana's break up.  I think Kurt would have raised his daughter with the help of his family.  I think there would have been custody battles, and I think Courtney Love would have gone insane after losing her daughter to Kurt. I think that Kurt would be releasing solo albums today.  I think he would be producing music, and I think he would be clean.  Perhaps it's just wishful thinking. Perhaps Courtney would have been the one to kill herself.

However, I must tell you, friends, that I don't believe Kurt killed himself.  I'm one of those conspiracy-lovers who deeply and truly believes that Courtney arranged the whole thing.

You should read this book: Love & Death: The Murder Of Kurt Cobain.


It's fabulous.  I own several books about Kurt Cobain and Nirvana.  When I was ust a girl in elementary school, I looked like Kurt.  I wore plaid, I had a cool bomber jacket, my Dr. Martens. 

Oh, Kurt.  After sixteen years, I still just want to hug you.  It's been sixteen years since your death, and I feel no older than sixteen.  Today, I miss you. 







Isn't he beautiful?  Let's go again.
