Kurt Cobain's Ashes Stolen

I can imagine, but 14 years on you'd think she'd be able to let go a bit.

 

My dad lost my mum over 14 years ago and still gets upset when she is mentioned, even though he is now married to a wonderful woman.

 

It's not uncommon, she lost her other half whether or not either of them were strange individuals :)

I'm not saying she shouldn't care any more, but the carrying of the ashes seems like a sign of someone who really needs to let go.

True but if it's not doing anybody any harm then she can carry on as she pleases, it worries me more than somebody has the nerve to steal somebodys effectively dead body heh.

 

Might as well dig up a grave while your at it :heh:

qft. Maybe having them in a special place you can go to remember the dead person, like a quiet room or thrown in a very beautiful place.

 

Carrying them round all the time seems creepy, and if it was me, I'd get more and more depressed seeing them all the time.

The way the NME article words it, it sounds more like they might of accidently took it thinking it was a jewellary bag or something...

 

Imagine that opening what you think could be a load of gold and finding ashes.

Well duh..

 

What I'm getting at is why didn't they bury his ashes. I find it quite disturbing people find pleasure in carrying someones box of ashes with them.

Or do that nice thing or spreading them somewhere they liked. I think I might go for that when I pop my clogs, as soon as I find somewhere I'd like them spread.

I know what you're saying, but some of Kurt's ashes were put in places he would have liked such as the Wishkah River. Also, when Courtney said she took them everywhere with her, I don't think she meant 'everywhere', so I'm not sure why people are taking it out of context. At the end of the day it was a great loss to her and if it made her happy then there's nothing wrong with that IMO.

Exactly. He was obviously massively important to her and still is. With all the problems she seems to always have going on, maybe always having part of him with her helps her. I see nothing wrong with that, and I don't think anyone else should either personally.

 

I've never been a fan of Cobain, and Courtney Love is a bitch. Like I said, it isn't a great loss to the musical profession.

 

You know the woman personally then? Oh ok. :heh:

 

Your post sounded like you were saying it was no great loss to anyone, which is total bull. He was a human being, and he obviously meant a huge amount to her. If that's not a great loss I don't know what is.

I love Courtney Love. (Thought i'd add that)

 

I HATE the feeling you get when anything is stolen from you, like you've been violated, and you had no say or anything in it. To have your dead husband stolen from you...must be pretty bad.

 

However, I'd assumed she'd moved on. It might be more upsetting for the daughter.

It seems to be an American thing to keep the ashes. Though I prefer the concept of cremation to burial, I'd have my ashes scattered rather than keeping them in a pot to loom over my family. That's just creepy.

If only soag were here, he would agree with you. xD

 

Well she did not do it herself but got someone else to do it the truth is out there.

 

I hate the bitch and hope she dies a horrible death very very soon, she proberely threw them in the trash to get some publicity :shakehead

yeah, its not exactly normal to steal musicians remains.

 

but carrying a dead guy round with you is fucked up. i mean, he clearly is dead (if not the cremation was a BIG mistake) carrying him round isnt healthy, yes remember him but dont dwell on him, fact is he blew his brains out, if he wanted to be around you hed not of painted his walls red.

 

to me, griving is a foolish thing, yes you can be sad, and yes, its ok to want to remember them, but life goes on, every one dies, getting hung up on it will only make things worse.

That reminded me of my housemate, who informed me his barber back home, his son took a shotgun in the mouth. I asked him, how bad people might feel if they ask for 'a little off the top'.

Actually, my grandmother was cremated, and while most of her ashes were buried, I think my grandfather and my aunt kept part of it to take home (just a really small thing that it's put in). It's really not that weird in my opinion, though not sure I'd do it myself.

 

 

Also, just sorta sounds to me like the thief didn't exactly plan on stealing someone's ashes but probably thought something else was in the bag. But who knows.

I hate people hating Courtney Love because Kurt Cobain killed himself.

 

There must be a scientific term for this...Yoko Ono syndrome? Hating the female partner for dissapointment in the male?

 

I'm with you on this one. I saw her on Jonathon Ross a year or so ago and she seemed rather nice, and was pretty funny if I remember.

My Bet: She's lying

 

She's a fucking attention whore, it sounds alot to me like she's using this as a publicity stunt. "Im feeling suicidal right now" Uh yeah fuck off? Looking at the known cases of valuable stuff being stolen from celebrities that I know of, the usual statement after is "We hope to negotiate with those who stole it" or similar.

 

But wheres the fight to get them back? Who had his social security number? Why are so many things being lost that Courtney should have some(I'm not sure how social security in the US works) control of?

 

I always thought she was a vile bitch to be honest, so my argument seems a little one sided as I hate her so much. It was obvious she was behind the murder, so much evidence around but the case has supposedly been closed so the authorities wont look into it.

 

But seriously, 99.9% of me hopes it never gets found and she lobs herself off a cliff.
