Live Fast, Die Young
Courtney Love is an American
icon and the well known widow
of Kurt Cobain. She also attempted
singing in the unsurprisingly
now-defunct band Hole. Nancy
Spungen was an American groupie
and the notorious girlfriend
of Sex Pistols bassist Sid
Vicious. A lot of people ask
themselves how a genius like
Kurt Cobain fell in love with
a screeching, wild, pretty
in the most unconventional
sense, junkie like Love. And
what in the world possessed
the talented Sid to worship
the ground under Nancy Spungens
feet? The answer to that is
love knows no boundaries and
crazy women can be very attractive..Love
stories like these are always
destined to a tragic end.
How can a man be in love with
such a larger than life woman,
without either self-destructing
(Kurt Cobain) or murdering
the object of his affection
(Sid Vicious)?
Kurt met Courtney at a concert
and it was love at first sight.
They got closer to each other
by sharing their beloved hobby,
drugs. A few years later,
Kurt and Courtney had a daugther,
Frances Bean., who is at the
moment still under Love's
custody, but I doubt for very
much longer. A lot of Nirvana
fans think Courtney used Kurt
to become famous. I think
she really loved him. I can
imagine how easy it is, to
become attached to such a
sensitive, handsome, talented
man. Courtney has enough will
power to achieve fame on her
own. But a man that already
suffers depression and is
suicidal, does not need a
wife, who is so addicted to
drugs, that she couldn't even
stop taking heroin while she
was pregnant. In 1993 Cobain
overdosed on the drug that
his Love had introduced him
to, heroin. Rather than calling
an ambulance, she injected
him with an illegal drug,
so he would regain consciousness.
The sanity of such a woman
really is doubtful. Kurt went
into rehab, escaped and returned
to Seattle, his birthplace.
Courtney knew nothing of his
whereabouts. The next day,
he was dead. He shot himself
and all he left behind was
a suicide note, a beautiful
daugther and the legacy of
a talented artist. Now, you
have to ask yourself if Cobain
was not driven to suicide
by this woman, this woman
that cursed the paparazzi
and harassed his ex-girlfriend.
This woman that sobbed hysterically
on national TV, while reading
Kurts suicide note, calling
him a ,,fucking asshole" and
at the same time pleading
for him to come back. Since
his death, Courtney spends
most of her time battling
in court, she has been arrested
with multiple drugs and she
is on the verge of losing
her daughter. What happened
to the happy ending?
Sid met Nancy in London. Nancy
had travelled from America
to England, because she had
heard that heroin was practically
free in London. She was an
addict. Sounds familiar? She
was also a groupie and had
severe depresssion since the
age of 11. Sid was impressed
by Nancy, because she was
living the ,,live fast, die
young" lifestyle, that he
could only portray in his
songs. He began to take heroin
too. This is another couple,
that I believed truly, deeply
loved each other. But both
had aggressive, antisocial
personalities. They were constantly
tearing each other apart.
This didn't prevent Vicious
from becoming emotionally
dependent on her, he needed
her. Sids band, the Sex Pistols
hated Nancy, as much as Nirvana
had hated Courtney. Nancy
persuaded Vicious to leave
the band and she became his
,,manager" The press called
her ,,Nauseating Nancy, as
she rained verbal and physical
abuse down on them. He did
not have much success as a
solo artist. They continued
down the path of drug addiction
and self destruction. A journalist
tried to interview them in
their home. Spungen could
barely sit up and Sid was
wavering between consciousness
and another world. One morning
in October he woke up and
found his girl crumpled dead
on the bathroom floor. She
had been stabbed and bled
to death. Sid was arrested
and charged with her murder.
At first he denied it and
then he admitted killing her
in a drugged stupor, because
he was a ,,dirty dog".After
his bail was paid and he got
out of jail, he took a heroin
ovedose and died. A classic
case of can't live with her,
can't live without her.
