KURT COBAIN

April 5th, 2011 · 656 Comments · Uncategorized

I heard today was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I’d be doing this if it weren’t for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I’d share it now…

    why in the hell Brazil hates Jared? what it is wrong wid peeps over there?

  • http://twitter.com/DiscordiaApple @DiscordiaApple

    Agreed! What the hell happened?

  • Gabriela Alves

    I'm brazilian but i dont agree with them. So there's a brazilian it girl that showed a testimony from another brazilian girl saying that jared said to her and her mothr that she's a pain in the ass, and showed his midle finger at a show at atlanta… so thats why everybody where hates him now. I dont understand why she did it, she knows about her influency, whatever… I dont like her, she's http://twitter.com/#!/marimoon I wish she pass way, what about u?

  • http://twitter.com/DiscordiaApple @DiscordiaApple

    Ohh, I get it now.
    Yeah, I saw that video. For me it's obvious that Jared was joking.
    But I thought this girl was with her little sister :S and Jared asked her if her sister was "a pain in the ass" but he was joking!

  • A lil' perspective

    did u see it in context? i was there. he asked some folks up front to make room, jokingly "u don't own that real estate" and after abit asked same area to make room for the little girl. the reference to "pain in the ass" is what lots of siblings feel in regards to a brother or sister. he did refer to her as "ansel adams" and asked to come up. really- don't see the big deal. if u have been at any other concert like NIN/BMTH then the floor is wide open territory. that was one incident seemingly taken out of context esp when consider how they are rest of time. If u consider, too, that he wasn't 100% & spent day apparently in dr ofc getting an MRI- so maybe it didn't come across with same genial spirit.

    can u put the link please!! i want to see the video! :)

  • Gabriela Alves

    I agree with u, for sure! Jared is a nice guy, but everybody is now going to the wrong way, they believe in marimoon, but not in jared. THEY R CRAZY RIGHT?! comoon, peeps that went to the 30stm show here, said that hates him too! they r realy carzy w/ him! I dont agree, it was a joke, im absolutely sure from that, it is absurd! n' i cant believe that… so sad.

  • http://twitter.com/grasiribas @grasiribas

    Oh no! Brazil doesn't hate Jared! Actually we love more his work! And who is the hell is Marimoon to tell anything? I don't like her anyway. Obviously what happened with the Brazilian girl was a joke, I saw the video and even thought it was serious! Please! We had a perfect show more than a week ago in Sao Paulo and Rio … I was there and I can say with all the letters: BRAZIL LOVES JARED AND 30 STM!

  • Gabriela Alves

    I dont agree w/ that, but i wish it's true! Serious i love jared and 30stm, and Im brazilian too, so whatever. His talent and band's talent dint change anyways, right? THEY ROCK ALOT. I still loving them, of course. And I dotn care about marimoon too. lol

  • http://twitter.com/grasiribas @grasiribas

    YEAH! I understand your point. Sure, some people get angry with this history, but not everyone! Like u, i'm a fan and I believe this will be forget soon. Like u said, this fact doesn't change anything to me and for almost the brazilian fans… she's (marimoon) nothing to me… but Jared and 30STM… well, they are A LOT to me (:

  • A lil' perspective

    there is no link, this is "eye witness" – u know as i was there & saw it with my eyeballs :)

  • you're my angel…

    by the way, jared i'm so proud! everyday i get more and more proud of you and your actions and work..you are THE MAN!

  • Jiriki

    You are really nasty, you know ;)

  • Aether

    Err…deluded alarm!! I mean false alarm! I believe I know the plural of elf – elves – and more over I didn't think for one second…well whatever..never mind.

    Oh, I'm beyond nasty – she – whoever it is – is just plain disrespectful!

  • BEATy

    I love Jareds blonde long hair!

    FUCK the Grammar!

  • 2coldsoul

    Please, what emotions??? He is an actor and playing a role!!!

  • A.D.T.

    Sure, you can quote it… BUT do you really know the meaning behind those lines??

  • E.C.

    Really? Then he must be a very good actor playing his emotions.

    Btw, how do you call that?

    Behave yourself!

    I think this song is about leaving something and finding everything.

    light

    Here's my gift to you: The Wise Woman

    The Wise Woman
    knows when to offer counsel
    and when to resist.
    She
    understands the dilemma
    and can offer perspective.
    The Wise Woman
    has seen enough
    to appreciate peace;
    to understand
    rather than judge.

    She
    is bright, serene, cozy and calm.
    She has poise, humor and grace.
    The Wise Woman
    can tell us what we need to hear
    to put our minds at ease,
    but she will also tell us when we are wrong
    and how to fix the deed.
    The Wise Woman can be a revolutionary
    who has vision, passion and drive
    and won't rest till she makes progress for her cause.
    The Wise Woman knows when to pick up arms
    and when to put them down.
    She can be a courageous lioness defending her cubs
    as well as a cuddly kitten.

    The Wise Woman
    is a friend who supports us through our greatest trials
    and cheers us when we triumph;
    and we know that she values us equally through it all.
    The Wise Woman
    takes little for granted.
    She is not jealous, greedy or possessive;
    she is patient, persistent and pleasant.
    She readily forgives herself as well as everyone else
    for she knows that neither she nor anyone else
    can be wise all of the time.

    Who is this Wise Woman?
    Is she our grandmother, our godmother, our aunt?
    Is she our mother, our cousin our friend?
    Is she our daughter, our niece or our nanny?
    Is she our sister, our sister-in-law or step-sister?
    Is she our employee, our boss or our colleague?
    Is she our nurse, our doctor or our preacher?

    She is the woman
    who is there for us.
    at just the moment we need her;
    with the right word, or touch or look.
    And
    she is there within us all, just waiting to come out;
    waiting for us to tap the eternal wisdom
    we have gained over the ages.
    Ready to be of assistance.
    Ready to act.
    Ready to be.

    Come, let us find our Wise Woman within
    and share her with ourselves and with each other.
    Let us overcome the barriers to finding her.
    Liberate her from self doubt or compulsivity
    From resentment, hurt and fear.
    Free her from isolation, shyness and pain.
    Let her come into the light and shine her radiance on us all.

    Welcome, Wise Women!

    – Poem by Leslie Dashew

  • E.C.

    Very true! Especially these lines:

    "She readily forgives herself as well as everyone else
    for she knows that neither she nor anyone else
    can be wise all of the time."

    BUT

    Is it a true gift or rather an advice?

  • A.D.T.

    OK, and now for the grand finale, as per usual….

    Err…I don't know who you are BUT where I'm from, people tend to say THANK YOU when they receive a gift!

    Even if they don't really mean it!

    They DO have some manners – unlike U!

    p.s. Oh, and you're NOT wise after all – I take it ALL back!!

  • E.C.

    Hahaha, you’re so sweet with your irritation! Calm down, relax, it’s only a misunderstanding!

    PRIMO: You are very quick in calling people “wise” not knowing them. Wise people are rather rare today. That’s why I asked you, whether your gift is true, because in my opinion it’s not possible to diagnose someone’s wisdom based upon a few sentences he/she wrote. IF your intentions were honest – thanks for the compliment!

    SECUNDO: Giving should be a pleasure for itself. When you give a gift only to hear some acknowledgement, it could mean that you wanted to please yourself and not the recipient. Did you?

    TERTIO: I do not find myself wise! I try to act wisely though the results are not always acceptable ;-) Recently I read somewhere a genius sentence: I’m too dumb to be wise. I don’t remember now who was the author but I could sign this sentence with my both hands.

    QUATRO: How do you know I’m a woman???

    Have a nice day/night and stay in peace :-)

    P.S. Hope you will read it…

  • A.D.T.

    ''it’s only a misunderstanding''

    lol, yeah, u can say that again!! I was born calm dear :)

    I'm so cool and calm, that I couldn't even cry on my father's funeral, when I was only 8 years old. OK, I lied, I didn't even got a chance to say goodbye to him, simply 'cause my fkn mother told a week after his burial. I didn't even shed one single dear. I was stupified back then, in my room, and I've managed to stay that way for over 25 years now. I've never been in love and I don't think I'll ever love a man that way or for real/forever.

    So, sorry if I've mislead you by offering to you my fake gift – I'm just that cold – you see!! And yes, you're absolutely right! I'm the most selfish woman there is on this planet! I'm just heartless baby!! Ice Queen!!

    My dad was very wise and sweet and kind and selfless – that's why he died that young – he just couldn't face this world of cruel pps – like me. Thank God, he got to see/travel the whole world before he passed away. And I plan to stay single forever and follow his steps…around the globe.

    And yes, my intentions are always dishonest – so, you're a fool if just for a sec believed them as true and from the heart. I don't have one!!

    I don't care about your gender btw – I only assumed you were/are one, 'cause im female and a hardcore feminist even though I should hate all women…'cause of one worthless bitch…

    peace of mind? Oh, I have that – don't u worry now!!

    that's why I never stop sleeping…

    P.S. That was dump – NOT – dumb btw (a bloody joke)

    If I was dumb, I would have shot myself by now!!

    ….and NO you're the ONE who's sweet – not ME!!

    Wanna fight over it?? lol kidding! Total strangers don't get me angry, 'cause I don't give a flying fuck about them – 'cause I don't know them – in order to decide…whether…night!!

  • E.C.

    Masks, masks, masks …

    Your words are the best testimony. An attack is not the best way to defend.

    I really appreciate that you decided to be single, at least you'll hurt only yourself. You couldn't be loved anyway, unless you would take off your mask, but I'm afraid it's not possible because it's ingrown…

  • A.D.T.

    LOL

    Busted!!
    :)
