So, who's excited about the Kurt Cobain diaries? Personally, I'm inclined to leave the poor bastard alone, not just out of pity, but also because sulking rock stars tend to be atrocious, self absorbed writers. It's basic diary stuff: "Chris and Shelli broke up. God Am I relieved! She is still living in Tacoma and Chris is temporarily staying in Aberdeen for free at his moms. Im very content with the relationship Chris, Chad and I have, we get along great and have a lot of dedicated fun. We are becoming very well received in Seattle&other places in Wash. Promoters call us up to see if we want to play, instead of us having to Hound people for shows. Its now just a matter of time for labels to hunt us down, now that weve promoted ourselves pretty Good by doing small remote tours. OK. enough about the band.
"Ive got a janitor job working with this older guy cleaning 4 restaurants. Pays cash under the table part time."

I like the condesending reference in the article header about Cobain's "erratic spelling and grammer" -- like the handwritten first drafts of Newsweek writers are always fucking pristine.

There's an article on MSN about the "contraversy" surrounding their release. In an early-afternoon dose of biting irony, posing rock-and-roll dickswinger Bono is quoted at length.
