Cobain was already aware of Love through her role in the 1987 film Straight to Hell. According to True, the pair were formally introduced at an L7 and Butthole Surfers concert in Los Angeles in May 1991. [66] In the weeks that followed, after learning from Grohl that Cobain shared mutual interests with her, Love began pursuing Cobain. In late 1991, the two were often together and bonded through drug use. [9] : 172 In Which We Discard A Heart-Shaped Box". Archived from the original on August 23, 2013 . Retrieved August 26, 2013. BBC Music : Your book, Serving the Servant, is one of the few accounts that have come out of what you might call the inner circle around Nirvana. What was it that made you want to just share your memories at this particular moment in time? A public vigil was held on April10, at a park at Seattle Center, drawing approximately 7,000 mourners. [9] :346 Prerecorded messages by Novoselic and Love were played at the memorial. Love read portions of the suicide note to the crowd, crying and chastising Cobain. Near the end of the vigil, Love distributed some of Cobain's clothing to those who remained. [9] :350 Grohl said that the news of Cobain's death was "probably the worst thing that has happened to me in my life. I remember the day after that I woke up and I was heartbroken that he was gone. I just felt like, 'Okay, so I get to wake up today and have another day and he doesn't.'"

In October 1992, when asked, "Well, are you gay?" by Monk Magazine, Cobain replied, "If I wasn't attracted to Courtney, I'd be a bisexual." [74] In another interview, he described identifying with the gay community in The Advocate, stating, "I'm definitely gay in spirit and I probably could be bisexual" and "if I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual life-style", but also that he was "more sexually attracted to women". [75] [76] He described himself as being "feminine" in childhood, and often wore dresses and other stereotypically feminine clothing.

I don’t think he wrote it,” she said. “I feel the same way I felt when I read it. He didn’t write it.” According to music journalist Paul Lester, who worked at Melody Maker at the time, Cobain's suicide triggered an immediate reappraisal of his work. He wrote: "The general impression offered by In Utero was that Cobain was some kind of whiny, self-absorbed, grunge, misery guts who could make routinely powerful music but was hardly a suffering godhead. You could almost hear a collective sigh of relief after April 5, 1994, that Cobain could no longer further sully his reputation; that the myth-making machinery could finally be cranked into action."

The Emotional Aftermath

BBC Music : One of the things you mention in the book is about what you said at Kurt Cobain's funeral: "I believe he would have left the world years ago if he hadn't met Courtney." As far as you could see, what role did Courtney Love fill in Kurt's life? During his final years, Cobain struggled with a heroin addiction and chronic depression. [3] He also struggled with the personal and professional pressures of fame, and was often in the spotlight for his tumultuous marriage to fellow musician Courtney Love, with whom he had a daughter named Frances. [4] In March 1994, he overdosed on a combination of champagne and Rohypnol, subsequently undergoing an intervention and detox program. On April 8, 1994, he was found dead in the garage of his Seattle home at the age of 27, [5] with police concluding that he had died around three days earlier from a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. Speaking from the tongue of an experienced simpleton who obviously would rather be an emasculated, infantile complain-ee. This note should be pretty easy to understand.
