German artist wants to roll Kurts’ ashes into joint; Courtney says ashes were never stolen
Posted on October 7th, 2008 by HisHighness in IUC:Entertainment
Not sure what the truth is here cause both parties involved are not the most credible sources. Contrary to what she’s said in the past about Kurts’ ashes gone missing, Courtney Love has now come out and contradicted herself, saying Kurt’s ashes never went missing. CLICK HERE and judge for yourself. Also, if you could roll anyone into a joint and smoke them who would it be – let us know. My pick is the stunning icon of ancient Egypt, Queen Nefertiti.

Here is the bad news: if you did get your hands on Kurt Cobains’ ashes, or any other person’s, it’s not the pure stuff, traces of other people have mingled with the ashes in the crematorium, so sure, you may be ingesting Kurt, but also some homeless guy who died in a puddle of his own pee on the street, or some 85 year old woman who was dead in her chair at the nursing home for 8 hours before anyone noticed. So I’m not smoking anyone, here is what I would do: you can have the ashes made into a manmade diamond by a company called LifeGem, remains are carbon and that is what diamonds are made of. Now you can wear the person on a ring, so much prettier than an urn and it lasts forever, where as we all know, smoking or snorting or drinking something is just a temporary high. Dazzle them with the dead!
ReplyIt’s nice to hear that Courtney Love’s career won’t be the only thing going up in smoke.
ReplyLet’s see. There is so much wrong with this article! Firstly, Courtney owes her career to her late husband, that she LOST the ashes is a slap in the face to poor, depressed Kurt. Secondly, if she DID LOSE the ashes wouldn’t she get a team together to LOOK for them? Thirdly, this artist chick…gimmie a break! Releasing Kurt into the ‘ether?’ Hasn’t he already been released into the ‘ether?’ He was after all CREMATED!
In terms of whom I would smoke: easy, E.M. Forester, Christopher Isherwood or John Irving. My fave writers! Granted Mr Irving is still alive and well but when the time does come!
ReplyCourtney Love is still alive? Guess I overpaid that guy…
ReplyOh, and there’s only one man I’d smoke: Hitler. Show that bastard what it feels like to get lit up. Too soon?
Somehow I don’t think this is what Kurt had in mind when he quoted Neil Young’s “It’s better to burn out than to fade away” line in his suicide note.
Courtney Love is so messed up on various drugs most of the time that it’s impossible to know whether she really still has Cobain’s ashes or not. She probably has hallucinations of Kurt while talking to an overflowing ash tray on her coffee table.
ReplyWho says ingesting, imbibing or inhaling the remains of someone can’t pass on that element of genius? It’s an idea that reaches back into our prehistoric past when the thought of eating the remains of magicians would give the feasters the same powers (think Conan). Art as a means of the purest expression of humanity has always run into road blocks, since it is often at odds with conventional societal norms. Aside from the seemingly nonsensical intent of this German artist, we can understand the underlying theme in wanting to emulate and keep alive this social icon. Indeed, Cobain went aganist the main-stream grain and was sleeping on the corner when his stardom unexpectangly hit him. It is a familiar story of the urge to be discovered, of losing all you have to live your dream. All that Cobain stood for is worth and worthy of wanting to be part of. Although I wouldn’t want to smoke those ashes, I want to keep him in mind as an example and keep on dreaming. Put that in your spliff and smoke it.
ReplyThe only thing that ought to be ‘rolling’ right about now is Kurt. In his grave that is. The woman behind the demise of one of the greatest rock bands of my generation has, once again, managed to publicly humilaite herself with her lies and the enormous lack of respect she has for her late husband.
Courtney, give it up. please! Take your millions of unearned dollars and do the vast majority of us this one solid… Sod off!
ReplyThis artist is ridiculous and is obviously seeking attention. Heck, If I was an artist I would be seeking attention. Art is only people are willing to pay for it. If anything, this German artist is trying to glorify her own name with some guy that committed some type of Kamakazi on himself.
If you follow the article into Keith Richards snorting his father with cocaine.
ReplyI think Keith Richards is an Idiot and all people that do cocaine should die.
I’ll add I think all people that produce cocaine, sell cocaine or having anything to do with helping anyone associated with it, purposefully, should die.
ReplyCourtney is not up to her old tricks; the truth is that she has never stopped. I think it bothers her that after fifteen years, people are still asking about what it was like being with Kurt. Yet when finances are spent, she has no problems with exploiting his name.
Fortunately, Tom Grant hasn’t stopped either. He is currently working on a self-funded documentary “Project Unplugged-Kurt Finally Speaks Out” (being launched on Youtube), but he is having some funding difficulties. Tom is grateful for all of his support, whether it be just moral support, or financial support. You only have to donate $20 dollars to be listed as a contributor in the ending credits. If you can’t afford to donate (which I strongly urge you to do so, even if it’s $3-5 dollars) , then sign up to youtube and subscribe to his channel for updates.
It won’t be a work of art, but possibly some new information will be released… It’s gonna be a low-budget masterpiece! Stay tuned.
Again, if you support Tom’s plight to bring justice, please donate.

@IanUnderCover- Would you be a financial contributor? If you don’t want to financially contribute, can you maybe put a Project Unplugged banner on your webpages?
I am a 21 year old NIRVANA fan that thinks that Kurt’s murder going unresolved for 15 years is 15 years too long…
ReplyJustice for Kurt.
