I dunno about that. And you can't really have a lot of pity for someone who shoots themselves.

Ernest Hemmingway shot himself with a shotgun. Vincent Van Gogh shot himself. Douglas Hopkins, Shauna Grant, Kurt Cobain... a lot of greats have offed themselves.
And yes Skin, I know Kurt's death is a bit suspect, but as of now it has not been proven that he was killed and not a suicide.

I don't have pity for any of them.
...and we all know Courtney had Kurt killed.

I wouldn't call Cobain 'one of the greats'

He was different, though. And that's what makes him great to some people...I guess. Hey, Grey, what was Bad Ro's reason for Cobain being one of the "best ever"?  |

To tell the truth, I can't remember. I seem to have successfully blocked out most of BadRo's drivel and sh!te. |

If he hadn't killed himself he'd prbably be fondly remembered as a) a one hit wonder and b) Courtney Love's husband.
People talk about him like he had the talent and influence of Elvis or the Beatles or Mick and it's just not true.
But I mean, I can feel sorry for the guy. After all, all that money and fame must be so depressing.

Don't forget about the debilitating, inoperable stomache maladies that plagued him all his life, leaving him in pain constantly and forcing him to turn to illicit drugs to numb the pain when normal pharmaceutacles couldn't help.
