In late 2002, a book called Journals was released to the public. this book was the journals of Kurt Cobain, famous musician and an icon to many young people. the book consisted of many of Kurt's private and confidential thoughts and notes.
This book created a lot of controversy between Nirvana Fans. A lot of people did not want to buy the book because of the ethical beliefs towards Kurt Cobain. In these journals Kurt wrote about things that he thought about civilization and how he felt "raped" by modern day society.
All of these quotes and drawings aided evidence that he was on course towards Suicide an shows fans what he was really thinking and what was bothering him.
The journal is not dated tho it does go in chronological order and upon release went straight to no.1 on the New York times best selling list. Kurt Cobain filled dozens of notebooks with lyrics, drawings and writings about his plans for nirvana and his thoughts about fame, the state of music and the people who bought and sold him and his music.
It shows the uprising and fall of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana and how his mental state deteriorated. Kurt was a very good artist and liked to draw a lot of comic book strips and other confusing but interesting stuff. Pages Contained drawings such as iron maidens famous mascot "Eddie the Head" and also comic book cut out of himself screaming lyrics from his song "smells like Teen Spirit". quoting "with the lights out its less dangerous, here we are now entertain us!!"
We will never really know what went on inside Kurt Cobain's head during the last few years of his life, but this book is the closet we will ever get to see into the mind of a great man and musician. this book would support his suicide against the Kurt Cobain "Murder theory" as it consists of many things about him wanting to die before becoming more famous.
Myself I am still in Limbo if i would like to buy this book or not and how Kurt would feel about me and the world looking into all of his thoughts.
