Today, after two months reading I was done reading the biography of Kurt Cobain.
I think it’s best said by a cover of one of Kurt’s notebooks/diary
[This is not a review of the book, only a few simple thoughts]
“If you read, you will judge”
I truly loved and hated this book. I can not put all of my thoughts and feelings down in words. For some reason this book really touched me emotionally. if it weren’t for the fact that I finished reading the book in a public place I think I would have cried.
The book in my opinion will change your view of Kurt, no matter if you are a fan or not. I started reading this book not because I was a fan, I never liked Nirvana before I read this book, but I knew about Kurt Cobain and I was curious about how he lived, how he was thinking and what lead him down the path he went.
Like most people I thought from the start that Courtney Love was the source to his drug abuse that led to his death or that she was the one who killed him. Based on the book I am not sure anymore. She seemed to stay sober longer then him, and have more control then him, even thought they often escaped from this world together by shooting heroine.
It’s clearly to everyone that he was a simple man but yet so complicated, he was so cheerful but also in so much pain.
I think it’s impossible to say this in any way without sounding like a teeny fan of Nirvana, but still during this book I realized that to much of me found it self in Kurt and his thoughts and way of thinking. Things that he wrote in his journal(notebooks) could have been copied from my diary. Parts of my diary that was written long time before I read this book or even had heard about him and that partly freaks me out.
in the end most of my thoughts and questions goes to Frances Bean Cobain

Hmm I know that he’s ’something’. But a lot of us people always just realized that ’something’ about someone after they’re resting in peace. Wish it could’ve been change, I mean the way we’re thinking.

I also feel sorry for those arund him, alot of stuff they never knew about him before he was dead. and his drub abuse, they tried to make him go to rehab and he went but it never got better.

You know, Nirvana was the first band I really loved. It wasn’t the band as much as the songs and the heartbreaking voice of Kurt Cobain that sent “shivers down my spine” to quote another of my favourite songs. Could you bring the book sometime when you’re visiting Ingvil so I could have a look? Beside, I like your blog, and I love that you’re so honest about everything. After all, we all feel the same way when left alone, don’t we?
