Please read my diary, look at my things and Unravel me.
"Please read my diary, look at my things and Unravel me."
Diary of Kurt Cobain is a Collection of songs written by Cobain, his drawings and letters. The very first words that caught the eye of the book, is written by a clumsy Cobain`s hand: "Do not read my diary when I am gone", although below this, he wrote: "Well, it's time for work ... Please read my diary. View my things and Unravel me."
Charles Cross in his book "Heavier Than Heaven" wrote: "Kurt was a complicated, contradictory misanthrope ... He meticulously planned each step in the music and career, recording their ideas in a diary for many years before they bring them to life, and when he finally getting any of that to which he aspired, he become a man who feel like getting out of bed. "
The motive of anyone who intends to read the "Diaries" - the desire to get into the mind of Kurt, and some people would argue that all these notes are important historical documents that describe the hard work of thought troubled genius.
In the diaries we find naked truth which destroys all invented by us over the years the cause of death of Kurt.
Theory first. The first pages of the Diary shows that those who blame the death of Kurt Cobain's wife Courtney Love, profoundly mistaken. Name Courtney in "Diaries" virtually no mention. Courtney mention in connection with a joint drug-taking, or as the object of ardent passion Kurt.
The second theory. The assumption that Kurt was killed by the record industry did not realize how vulnerable his creative soul and sales of Nirvana albums (REF) to the right and left, too, is refuted by the diaries. Although over time Kurt changed his famous phrase: "Punk rock - is the freedom" to "Punk rock is dead to me", he always knew he could at any time reject everything. And the fact that Cobain continued to hold on to hateful world of show business, said only that he was enjoying his role as a martyr.
The third theory. His killing disease. Yes, Kurt is really very often mentions in his diaries about the pains in the stomach, and wants his name was called the disease (so that later - he laughs at himself - I could write about this rock opera). But the more he talked about the pain as an excuse for his addiction to heroin, the more he laughed at journalists who believed in the story of the painful martyr Kurt created specifically in order to confuse reporters. He was hypocritical almost more than others.
Theory of the fourth. He ruined the life of a difficult childhood. Cobain really grew up in unhappy families. In a very touching unsent letter to his father Kurt wrote on his firm intention to make sure that his daughter will be always surrounded by love and care. Kurt has a real opportunity to start a family, but on that fateful day, he somehow never thought that his action cripples life of his daughter.
It may seem that we already know about Kurt Cobain almost everything: he was always fiercely, painfully autobiographical, and in the "Diaries" describes to us not so much of what we have not learned from his earlier texts. Do not forget, this is the same man who was almost named one of the album Nirvana "I hate myself and want to die".
The resulting record "In Utero" has complete exposure of Cobain. On the cover was a picture of a three-dimensional anatomical model of human long been involved in the imagination of Kurt, whose physical condition since his early childhood was far from perfect - no other association, except for anatomical dissection, when looking at this cover from listeners concerned about Kurt's disease does not arise.
However, the main event in the group life was the entrance of the album "Nevermind" in September 1991. In the review of the album by NME Lamak Steve wrote: "This record will become the new benchmark for future post hard core generations. In fact, "Nevermind" was not just new, but the only point of reference for a generation. Shortly after the release of "Nevermind" became apparent that Kurt musical opinion coincides with the opinion of his uncompromising friends like The Melvins, Earth, Alice in Chains.
What is the steepness of Kurt? It's not that he died young - we remember him not because of this. The steepness of Cobain - is, how boundless was his influence on music: because it appeared not only an entire generation of disruptive emo, indie and garage bands, but a succession of followers: Elastica, Oasis, Muse, Harvey Danger.
After retiring from the life of Kurt Courtney Love as if nothing had happened continued his musical career (quite successfully, among other things), has released a huge number of compilations of vintage recordings by Kurt, which has never before been published.
