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.
