Who Killed Kurt Cobain?

That being said, Nirvana was "the one" and you can't take that away from them or their timid front man. He wrote the song that sparked it all and didn't do anything to disappoint fans with any of the music he ever wrote or played. He was raw, honest, sarcastic, and he really seemed to only care about making music and making it his own way.

We don't know what he would have produced, had he not felt the need to end it all. It could have been great. It could have been below expectations that were set unfairly high by fans and critics. After ten years, and wondering for so long what could have been, I don't want to think about it anymore.

The one thing I do know is that the irony will live forever with Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. The anti-rockstar was put on a pedestal so high that he couldn't see the ground. We learned the tough lesson that irony can be funny, but it can also be incredibly painful. We mourn his loss every single year, and while there is no way we ever could have known what we were doing, we aren't innocent. Kurt may have pulled the trigger, but we all helped kill Kurt Cobain.

The mind is a very complex thing. Don't outthink the question, if that makes sense.

kurt cobain is my idol, ive done my homework and found many aquisitions concerning cobains death. but, you know courtney love had in her position paper where she practised kurt's hand writing, could this have anything to do with kurt's final suicide note?

Kurt Cobain was murdered in 1990, later Courtney Love (whose real mother is actually "Wendy" who falsly claims to be Cobain's mother) was paid-off to pretend to be married and have a child, all so that the Hollywood 3 could share in the reported 6 billion Nirvana has thus far grossed. Geffen was delighted by all of this, helping Courtney with her transgendering (She was once a male). The hundreds (no doubt thousands) that were and are involved in this horrid Sacrafice are paying-with their lives! Oh, how they shall pay for those crimes.
We love you Kurt.
It is just another Cult admission of guilt, a silly one at that (there is no G-d, and no jesus, but those are the cults false idols).
Just a hyme, a crust of bread thrown on the trail of murderers...

Well it's aweful fitting that within the middle of this spin there is an advertisement for a lawyer.
I mean the author uses "probably " to describe what kind of a person he thought Kurt Cobain was when he states the following; "Meanwhile, he was probably just someone who wanted to rock and pay tribute to all the songs that had meant so much to him over his lifetime".
Sir I believe you might want to use a little bit more than "probably " to come to a conclusion about something like the death of a person.
Furthermore, it's a little bit naive to think that someone was willing to take their own life because they weren't comfortable being on that pedastal that they "probably" didn't want to be on.
Don't you think?
Suicide is a myth.
Sorry, I don't buy suicide in 9/10 of the cases that are renderd "death by suicide".
But, it's not too hard to convince most Americans of fariytales such as; Santa Clause, Lee Harvey Oswald, Al Qaeda and Flight 77. Therefore, I wouldn't expect many people to see that this case is no different than the 9/10 of the bogus "death by suicide".
It's pretty simple really.
We'll just go with motive.
Kurts motive for Kurts Death;
I'm hurting because I don't like living in the limelight and I am a Recovering Heroin Addict.
Living in the limelight was "part of his job".
How many of us don't like our jobs and kill ourselves?
Recovering Heorin addict?
Come on will you please. This hobgobble is so bogus it doesn't even warrant a mention.
How many Recovering Heroin Addicts kill themselves?
In addition to those numerous Recovering Heroin Addicts that have allegedly killed themselves, how many of them had succeeded on the first try?
There are others who would benefit much more from Kurts death than Kurt himself.
It would behoove us all to get to the bottom of who and why.
A society that accepts "phoney" suicides accepts its own inevitable destruction.

Why come to a conclusion when I can use words like probably and make the title of the post a question?

:-)

Oh, and those ads are generated based on context around them. I have no control over it.

The following statement is also included in the authors post ; "We don't know what he would have produced, had he not felt the need to end it all".
I would say that's a pretty good "hidden in plain veiw" type of conclusion.
You say this is a "who killed Kurt" posting without a conclusive dialogue but merely one of questioning.
Sir, a duck by any other name is still a duck.
