Kurt Cobain Journals

[sully]

I got this as a present for Christmas and i must say it does provide an insight into how he thought and the troubles he had in his short but talented life. For any Nirvana fans out there this is a must have.It has original song lyrics and it shows how the ideas of some videos came about.

Anyone else read it and what did use think?

At first I disagreed with the idea of the journals being released, but after having a read of it I have changed my mind, as it was clearly intended to be read by others - the man was seriously narcissistic and obsessed with his own image... which is fair enough.

If he was around today he'd have a bloody Live Journal...

Some of it is quite interesting, like the letter to one of their early drummers informing him he was out of the band. They couldn't even speak to him face to face.

I didn't like the idea of the journals being released either but as he says "if you read you will judge".I found the part were he was writing about getting accused of having intercourse with a girl then people saying she was retarded disturbing.Wasn't sure if he was dreaming that,then the part he tried to kill himself of train tracks but the train past on the wrong tracks.

Also liked the Scottish links that kept coming up.The town aberdeen and his pal Eugyene from the Scottish Band the vaselines.

I got this also for my christmas and found it an inspiring read...I did find it strange when you open it up..It says something like..dont read my diary when im gone...As if in a way he always knew he was going to die shortly or something..But i found it an interesting insight into his world. Although the diary was apparently heavily edited with the help of courtney love..so hmm..i suspect...a few..i hate courtneys...suddenly become oh how i love courtney..I stick by the theory that if not her personal she was involved in the not suicide but murder of Kurt Cobain...
