The last days of Kurt Cobain

[stolat]

There's a doco on Max this weekend - "The Last Days of Kurt Cobain".

Duff speaks on it, saying that he and Kurt shared a few drinks and he though that Kurt was in a very lonely place.

Anyone seen the promo for this?

They showed that over here a few months back. It doesn't focus 100% on his last days. They'll talk about what was going on a week before his death (for example) then talk about when he was born then go back to 6 days before his death.

I remember them asking Duff if he was shocked by Kurt's suicide and he pauses for a long time and then says "no". I think that was the question anyway.

They speak to quite a few people if I recall correctly.

I think it was the dope sickness that killed him, hell, I know it was. Whenever anyone has said that opiate withdraw can't kill you, I bring up Cobain.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

He'd be 40 if he was alive today. 

[fuckin crazy]

The day he died, MTV was the only thing that mentioned it ... untill later. They were on the air all day about it. It breaks my heart when anyone dies like that, what could have been, what didn't have to be ... if he could have only found a maintenence clinic.

why would anyone give a fuck about him.
he certainly didnt... why should I?!

I understand what you're saying. He is certanly not an examplo to anyone...choose the easy way out. I wonder how many nirvana fanatics killed themselves after this? Do you think it had that kind of impact?

You don't have a fucking clue. Educate yourself and quit being so fucking ignorant.

If I can rememember correctly, a whole generation of then 14/15 years olds became rather 'lost/disenchanted/affected/fucked up' after that one.

I dont think so. if someone killed them salves, they would have done it, no matter if kurt was dead or alive.

Personally, I have no respect for people who people who do such things, and I'm gratefully they helped "ensure the long-term survival of the human race by removing themselves from the gene pool in a sublimely idiotic fashion."

yes, that was what i was saying...if you're a public figure like he was, worshipped by many, how the hell can you give that kind of example and contiue to be worshipped? ?I know his suicide contributed a lot to the success that still goes on with the band...well, these are very fragile topics!

[stolat]

I don't think he had much choice in the matter.

He was suffering from a mental illness....

As Duff said, he was in a very lonely place.

[Lucky]

what was duff suposed to say?!

"he was a retarded little fag, and I'm surprised that he actually died, since he had no vital organs in his head anyway"

of course he said something ambiguous and sympathetic.

[fuckin crazy]

Addiction is a very painfull disease. It hurts so fucking bad when you are sick that you will do anything to releave that pain, including your own destruction. It drags on, and fucking on, and fucking on forever it seems like, unless one has felt that pain, they have no fucking clue. did you know where the idiom "kicking the habit" came from? The man suffered from a chonic, and progressive illness that the end results are ... institutions or death if not stabilized.

EDIT : especially addiction to opiates.

Nobody is forcing you to give a fuck about him..But why are you even writing in a thread about him then ?

because it's a disgrace that people still remember him.

[fuckin crazy]

^A child who doesn't have a clue.

He was a member of one of the most famous bands of the 20th century. I don't think people will forget him any time soon.

A 7th grader that I taught last semester chose to play "Seems Like Teen Spirit" in her radio play.

This is what she wrote in her radio script:

Now something for our heavy rockers. We are going to put on 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' by Kurt Cobain. He was a very nice man. He had a beautiful daughter Francis Bean but he died on April 8th 1994. He died in his Washington home. Enough heroin was in his blood to kill 3 people. Beside him on the floor was a shotgun.

And that is all for today. We will see you tomorrow at 9:00. Bye.

Nirvana is completely over rated.  Had he not killed himself Nirvana would have flamed out along with all the other grunge bands.  Nirvana gets credit for ending the 80s hair/hard rock scene, but I think they are more known for that then their actual music.
