| A Single Shared Tragedy Here is a picture from one of the many newspapers that covered Kurt's suicide story. The picture quality is not excellent but you can just see Kurt below the top of the door. Please feel free to download the Real Audio™ of Courtney Love reading Kurt's suicide note at his memorial service. It's very upsetting to hear and you can also make out the reaction of the crowd to some parts of the note. Thousands turned up for the reading and everyone whether they be strangers to the next cried upon one another's shoulders. I was never there but it was still very moving to see even on television. The bond between people as a result of a single but shared tragedy. "We remember Kurt for what he was: caring, generous and sweet. Let's keep the music with us. We'll always have it. Kurt had an ethic towards his fans that was rooted in the punk rock way of thinking. No band is special, no player royalty. If you've got a guitar and a lot of soul, just bang something out and mean it. You're the superstar. Collecting the tones and rhythms that are uniquely and universally human: music! Heck, use your guitar as a drum. Just catch the groove and let it flow out of your heart." "That's the level that Kurt spoke to us on: in our hearts. And that's where he and his music will always be forever." Krist Novoselic - Ex-Nirvana/Sweet 75 |
