    I saw Nirvana at the Club Soda in Kalamazoo Michigan in the fall of 1989. Fantastic show forever etched in my mind! After their set Kurt walked through the empty dance floor of that small club and I stopped him to say how much I loved the show. There were maybe 20 people there. We talked for a bit and I sang him one of my songs. Unbelievable!!

    Nirvana strategically using their fame to promote other artists that influenced them tells you so much about kurt and about Nirvana as a whole. Kurt - but all of them really - will always be respected by the underground for how strict their morality was when it came to how to approach being famous in the music industry. I believe that they never "sold out" and in utero is a perfect example of that.

      Mr Sea Turtle you’re 100% right. I guess “sold out” isn’t the correct term more so just jumped at the opportunity to gain fame. Which is something that no one would pass up. So it’s not like I’m blaming them or anything

      ‘Selling Out’ is making the album they want and expect you to make. Nirvana ALWAYS HAD CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING. They didn’t sell out in the least, and if any of you were smart, you’d recall the band realized that Sub Pop wasn’t able to support them as artists. They needed to sign to DGC.

I bet if he’d lived a long enough life to distance himself from his songs, he would’ve developed a greater appreciation of his lyric writing abilities.

      Yea. Exactly. And if there is ANY good reason to sell out its to be an artist. Can’t fucking be an artist without selling art. It’s the one thing you HAVE to do.
      People mean to say that they changed their sound to appease boring people. That’s so very often not true. Most bands that intend to please as many people as possible almost always tried to and probably just sucked at it in the beginning.
      “Selling out” is barely ever a thing. It’s happened but it’s a very naive way of trying to communicate a feeling of losing intimacy with a band due to them being well known.
      People really project their own shit onto everyone else. They really do.

    The mention of Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna album made me remember how much I loved the duet she did with Tom Petty (R.i.P.) "Draggin' My Heart Around" which was featured on that album!! I never owned a copy of that album, but my exposure to that song was via the video for it which was on major rotation back in M-TV's first year when they only had a relative handful of videos to play per-day and was a regular feature over the years to come. That collaboration featured amongst the best male and female vocalists in the mainstream Rock genre at that time, and their combined performances on that song were complimentary to, and well-matched with, one another -- both for authentically delivering the tone of the subject matter in the lyrics and for the musical arrangement around their vocal performances.

But he wasn't interested with everything that was involved with being famous. I mean, the public persona and everything.

He had something to say and wanted as many people as possible to hear it whereas people like Courtney only pursued fame solely for the purpose of being famous. Why you pursue something is just as important as what you're pursuing.

    Vanity Fair basically killed Kurt. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. People tend to forget that Danny Goldberg worked for Led Zeppelin and was already rich by the time Nirvana came along. I think Kurt gave it his best shot (as anyone would do) and accidentally overshot his goals. He didn't realize how mega big they were going to be and couldn't handle all the trappings that came with the level of success Nirvana achieved.

    • @stevef9876

      Yes, I agree. I was 24 at the time. Danny never advised Kurt that a journalist doesnt have to bring a video camera to a Kurt interview, a tape recorder was suffice. And that would of been a relief to Kurt not being "seen" in an interview that was not to be video taped.

You know you just couldn't go in a thrift store any more anything like that. Wish the people that enjoy that sort of thing it would be annoying to do what you did before and be recognized all the time. I'm going to go out on limb and say Elvis probably had a problem with that towards the end of his life. At some point you just want anonymity so you can just live a normal life. But for some reason modern entertainment just as a screwed up thing to people's brains and they become obsessed.

      They seem to think that Kurt was this was naive, innocent, mentally dysfunctional baby who didn't understand a single thing about the world and was confused by the most basic of concepts.
      Kurt knew above anyone that Nirvana was a business and treated it exactly as that. He shopped around for the record company to make them the biggest in the world, made the right connections, played the game and was incredibly savvy. Goldberg made him as famous as he wanted, he made Goldberg money and he adored Goldberg like a father.
      That's not to say his music wasn't sincere also but that this myth that he was some poor, confused, frightened little boy who didn't want any of it is ridiculous. He lost interest as his addiction worsened but he did everything he could to be famous.

    Courtney Love hired a guy named Richard Allen Wrench (stage name) to kill Kurt. Courtney had herself arrested to clear her name but after being released and finding out nobody found the body she hired a technician to install a security system in the place Kurt's body was. The same man killed El Duce, a guy who was offered $50,000 to kill Kurt but turned it down. Courtneys a murdering psychopath no talent junkie. The problem with the case was it was deemed a suicide by the police who first arrived and not by the proper homicide unit which disturbed the scene; so an investigtion will never be re-opened. He probably wouldve quit music and pursued art/painting in some way, who knows, but he loved his daughter and being a Dad, he didn't kill himself. Period.

      @Ian Curtis you're right that Tom did say that there were things he was saving for when the case is reopened, but he also said at a different time, that there wasn't enough time to fit all the evidence into one movie, so they tried to just get out the most important information. There's so much more information though, you can tell by reading cobaincase.com that so much had been left out, but it's because there wasn't enough room. I think about the facts that were left out of the first movie, and really look forward to the second one!! I don't know if I'd commit to the case never being reopened, but I understand your thoughts on that because I've thought it too, and that might be the case sadly, but did you happen to take a look at the thousands upon thousands of people that left hate comments on Courtney's page after "SIB" came out?? She had to go in and block so many people, it took her weeks to do it!!! That and removing the comments. From what I saw at that time, we were a lot closer than what I'd thought we'd be!! Maybe this next movie will not only shed more light on more things surrounding the case, but as a result, get more public outcry for the case to reopen. The thing is to never give up!! Plus I think about the law of attraction and visualize the day she's locked up, and this new movie being the catalyst for that. It could happen!!

      It would of been better for Kurt if Geffen gave Kurt attention like he did Laura Nyro.

    Kurt was such a legend, it just makes me sad to hear him conveying such a negative attitude towards medicine and doctors in geral, as a a doctor myself it is also very hard emotionally to see patients that don’t respond to any treatment and are suffering and to hear him say that we don’t care for patients and that medicine is a scam is tough

      Didn't he just say that about gastroenterologists? And in the end a new medicine did help him, so he didn't give up on the system.

    He doesnt talk about his wife Rosemary Carroll? She was kurt and courtneys lawyer and had evidence he was murdered. She is also recorded on tape saying he was killed.

      Caidema Official of course they’re not gonna mention that. He’s obviously still friends with her. They don’t care. As Steve Albini said “Everyone around Nirvana Inc., except for the band members themselves, are complete pieces of shit.”

    I find it funny, not in a ha ha way, that his wife thinks there was foul play. She is actually recorded thinking this. Now I am thinking out loud. I wonder is Mr Goldberg had any idea what would befall Kurt.
