Please note: I do not endorse the conspiracy theories in this book! My signifigant other grabbed it on clearance from borders because I'm a Kurt Cobain obsessive. I'm obligated to read it! I'm about a quarter of my way into it. One thing that keeps it going as a read is the fact that the author interviews sources too seedy to be put in a reputable book- Old drug dealers, long estranged relatives, ex lovers, etc. Being a person that has read almost every Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain biography, as well as having seen the 'Kurt & Courtney' documentary I've noticd plenty of indiscrepencies and misinformation from these sources. That being said, the interviews are interesting. There is even a picture of Donald Duck Kurt drew when he was 6 years old, as well as him & Frances Bead both picking their noses. ;) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
A chilling, groundbreaking investigation into the death of one of the great rock icons of our times -- including exclusive access to the case tapes of Courtney Love's former P.I., and a host of compelling new evidence. On Friday, April 8, 1994, a body was discovered in a room above a garage in Seattle. For the attending authorities, it was an open-and-shut case of suicide. What no one knew then, however, is that the deceased -- Kurt Cobain, the superstar frontman of Nirvana -- had been murdered. Drawing on case tapes made by a P.I. hired by Courtney Love when her husband escaped from drug rehab and went missing -- and on new forensic evidence and police reports obtained under the Freedom of Information Act -- Love & Death explodes the long-standing theory that Kurt Cobain took his own life. Award-winning investigative journalists Max Wallace and Ian Halperin have conducted a ten-year crusade for the truth, and in Love & Death they present a stunning, convincing argument that the whole truth has yet to be revealed.

I started out taking the time to come up with logical explanations for each piece of damning evidence, but by the half way point of the book there were so many “coincidences” to explain that it made more sense to let them fit together sensibly than go on denying the murder. It was getting to the point where I was grasping, “Ok, maybe aliens came down and shuffled the space/time continuum.” A series of increasingly bizarre events would have had to transpire for this to have been a suicide. But if it was a murder, everyone behaved normally and the universe was operating within its usual parameters. In the end, even my last respite, “Courtney is a crazy woman on drugs and had no idea what she was saying,” makes less sense than that she was a crazy woman on drugs and knew exactly what she had just done.
This book is an intense, engrossing read whether you’re interested in either of the Cobains or not. Wallace and Halperin work hard to stay objective, and they discredit much of what they’re told if there isn’t evidence to back it up. A sizable chunk of their information comes from recorded conversations with Courtney Love, who unwittingly forgets to protect herself when she’s desperate for ego stroking. It’s a well balanced, disturbing, and fascinating look at how badly humans can behave when they’re needy and hurting.
