Never underestimate the evil contained in your spouse. Let me tell you about my ex. 

Just imagine if John Lennon hadn't been murdered on a crowded NYC sidewalk in front of dozens of witnesses.
 
Would we still be debating whether or not Yoko did it?

I had a chance to watch this documentary this morning. A very compelling documentary. It is hard to believe it was 20-years ago that this occurred. Note that I am not, nor ever was, a Nirvana or Kurt Cobain fan, so I have been somewhat indifferent to his death since it occurred (I don't mean to sound insensitive; just stating the way it is). On the other hand, I always felt his wife to be rather crude (even before watching this film). At the very least, this film does show that the police work on his death possibly may have been rather sketchy, or its analysis incomplete. The 'suicide' determination apparently came very quickly after his discovery. For somebody of his fame you could argue that it might normally take longer to come to that conclusion.
 
I am aware that in a lot of the investigative documentaries, one side or the other is usually biased in a documentary. I am sure I could be easily swayed towards the police 'suicide' determination if such a documentary existed also. But I will say this film was done really well and does bring up a lot of questions and doubts for sure. Assuming the facts in the film are all true and valid, I would think it merits a re-opening of the case and let an independent investigative team report their findings.
 
 
 

My trouble is that I have a habit of believing the last person I've listened to, if they make a compelling enough case.

Well, that convinces me!

I have no reason not to believe you!

whoa- I will have to check this one out. Another guy who killed himself but others say "maybe not" was the late great Elliot Smith

I thought everyone already knew that Kurt's death was faked after Elvis invited him to join the Illuminati.

Hi,
 
This side of rock music (any art really! -- get serious!), is the part of it all (the fame) that turns me off. And it's not one does not find gold diggers out there, and some of them are not women!
 
I can enjoy reading about groupies and such, and their experiences, but some of the rest of it all, is just way too much garbage for me. Guilty or not, she has to live with it ... and that part ... is worse than all the possible riches.
 
And being laughed at for her own music on her band, doesn't help her credibility a whole lot. But, this is the life she chose and you and I have no right to sit here and judge and choose for her!

I was never a Nirvana fan, either. I pretty much ignored the whole grunge phenomenon at the time.
 
But here in Seattle, Cobain's death was a local news story you couldn't not listen to. There were hourly updates for days afterward. When the house was sold, that was a news item, too. When the neighbors complained about fans clogging the street, that made the evening news. Every wacky episode by Courtney got reported. Incredibly, her dreadful band got more gigs.
 
It was only after his death that I came to appreciate that Kurt was very much the anti-rock star. He could have afforded a Southern California cliffside showplace, but he lived in a humble home on Lake Washington. He dressed like a bum, didn't even have a climate-controlled warehouse for his guitars like most successful rock stars. His only nod to stardom was the obligatory drug problem.
 
Courtney is quite the opposite. Stays in the nicest hotels, spends a fortune on clothes, and has an unrealistically high opinion of herself. A thoroughly unlikable person, not someone you'd want for a neighbor or a bandmate. The possibility that she may have been complicit in murder and got away with it offends me the same way as OJ Simpson's smirking acquittal.
