Kurt Cobain died just 18 years ago last Thursday, and it was the occasion for different news outlets to remind us Courtney Love's crazy speculations about her life with Cobain if he hadn’t died. This is what she said in 2011, during one of her interviews with Mark Yarm, the author of ‘Everybody Loves Our Town: an oral history of grunge’:
‘We'd probably live on the Upper West fuckin' Side now and have three fuckin' kids. We might even have a divorce, like both be on our third marriage. I don't fuckin' know. He might be a playwright, [or have] his latest show in MoMA’
‘I'd have a 16-year-old son and be his model wife. Given the money that is involved here’
‘We could probably have had a fuckin' yacht. We could have gone open marriage at some point’ … ‘I don't fuckin' know.’
Or may be you would have killed him as you said in another interview? This woman could come up with every single scenario she could think about, she would sound like the mythomane she has always been. She still has dreams of opulent bourgeois life (the Upper West Side, a Yacht) but what kind of credibility does she have?
I am going to tell you what could have happened. Three kids? A 16-year old son? Would they all be emancipated and had filed a restrained order against her like her only daughter Frances? Very probably. A divorce? I really hope Cobain wouldn’t have stayed with her, as a matter of fact, he had already asked for divorce when they were in Rome in 1994, according to Courtney.
But who cares what she thinks could have happened, isn’t there an overwhelming amount of evidence that she is insane?
Just a few weeks ago, she declared that the Muppets had rapped her late husband’s memory by using ‘Smells like Teen Spirit’, claiming she has absolute control over the usage of Cobain’s catalog, whereas she sold 25 % of her rights in 2005 (and received $50 million) and then sold half of her remaining rights to Primary Wave Music and gave them the exclusive right to distribute the music (according to the Huffington post).
It's simple, the woman cannot keep any of her stories straight, she basically says whatever crosses her mad brain, and she shouldn’t be asked to talk about Kurt Cobain anymore.
