we know what kurt would do? Thats so stupid. Kurt might not want you to read it but he also shot himself in the head with a shotgun.

The Stranger reviewed it, yeah. (Sidenote: True wrote for them while he was here during Nirvana's heyday.) Apparently he was drunk the whole time, which might explain his maybe-it-never-happened-but-aren't-I-cool? approach.

My vote: Oh well, whatever, nevermind.

I read something about this somewhere--the Stranger, maybe? And he's like "oh, what I write may not have actually happened, but it's my memory of what happened," or whatever the fuck. Made me think the book will be some awful self-aggrandizing bullshit that bears no more resemblance to reality than my 1983 Mariners first place prediction. Just another dude trying to reflect some of Cobain's genius onto himself?

Yeah, i read that article in the seattle times yesterday, and Everett True just seems like a total douchebag. my guess is that if you asked people "from the scene" about him, they'd agree. that said, i'm not a pearl jam fan, either, so i might giggle at those parts a bit. nothing personal people.

Skip it. Read Heavier Than Heaven -- Charles R. Cross's Cobain biography.
