Who Killed Kurt Cobain?
This book was one that I was very interested in reading and it kept my interest throughout the entire thing. I was mostly interested because I am a fan of Kurt Cobain's music and I didn't know the story of his life and his death. I, like most people was under the assumption that Kurt Cobain's death was an open and shut case of suicide as it was reported. But this book explores different options and tells the story from some different people's views. I found these views to be very eye opening. Not only was it interesting but it is also a highly controversial book. Many people did not want this book to be published because it reveals things about people that are less than glamorous. The book starts out by sharing the background of Kurt Cobain and his future wife Courtney Love. Kurt did not have a happy childhood. He didn't have a steady family life as he bounced around between different relatives and friends, and even slept under a local bridge some nights. "Cobain was for most his childhood a sickly bronchitic child. Matters were made worse when Cobain's parent's divorced when he was seven and by his own account Cobain said he never fe . . .
This shows just how much Kurt's music meant to some people. The sound of Nirvana was fresh and original and it came along right when the times were in need of change. The believers in the murder theory of Kurt think that they owe it to the families of the kids who died following him, to find the real killers. That was like a little lookout tower for him over his whole property, and I do firmly believe that he was in fear of his life. Some agree with Tom Grant and the murder theory and others continue to insist that it was suicide. He still has legions of fans in the world, he will always be remembered, and after reading the book I will certainly view Kurt in a different light. The note found with Cobain's body, Grant asserts, was a farewell to his fans not a suicide note. The book tells goes on the share the views of many different types of experts. This next quote from the book describes some of the events surrounding his death. The distraught crowd filled the air with profane chants, burnt their flannel shirts, and fought with police. With him was also a note, it was believed to be his suicide not, while others think that he was just trying to retire from the music industry. They say someone else added the last three lines on, and handwriting experts did agree that the last part of the note was in a different style of handwriting. The fact is, I can't fool you, any one of you. Cobain later said that his parent's traumatic split fueled a lot of the anguish in Nirvana's music"(17). He became increasingly difficult, anti-social, and withdrawn after his parent's divorce.
