Your Chance To Buy Kurt Cobain's Personal Shit



Nirvana fans, save your pennies. Courtney Love is ready to part with nearly all of Kurt Cobain's belongings.

According to this story, Love plans to offer Cobain's possessions to the world through a large Christie's auction.

"(My house) is like a mausoleum. My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant ... bag full of flannel ... shirts. A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to `(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' — that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just ... sell."


Perhaps Courtney needs help settling that overdue rehab clinic debt. No date has been set for the auction, but Love promises that "a bunch" of the proceeds will go to charity.

I've never understood the whole 'buying famous people's stuff' thing. Does it somehow bring you closer to that person? Does it imbue you with some of their talent and creativity? Is it like a sacred relic to the faithful?

You wouldn't sell yr husband's stuff thirteen years after he died, or you wouldn't sell Kurt Cobain's stuff if you were the widow Cobain?

So instead of selling "family" belongings, she should say, throw it out. Thats just bad business. As in: It's HER business what she does with HER belongings.

When a loved one dies, typically you give the things to people they mean a lot to. Once that's done you sell it off, give it away, or throw it out.
