Well, i wouldn't consider music geeky. However, i am something of a musician.

The geekiest thing about that is the freakish amount i know about Nirvana. Ask me anything, see if i can answer it about Nirvana.

Something that can be answered with fact Please.

This has been debated for years. I've never decided. There is plenty of evidence to suggest either way. The most damning evidence against Courteney is the testimony of a hitman she supposedly tried to hire. Once she realized Cobain was quitting music, he was worth more dead than alive to her (how much do you think she made off of all the compilation and Best Of albums?). And there were signs of her greed for his success. The riff for "Heart Shaped Box," when it was being written, was SOUGHT after by Courteney. Kurt had to lie about how "crappy" it was to convince her not to use it for herself.

So, its hard to say. Its like religion. Pick your belief and spin the wheel. Any more questions?

No, actually i've never read them. Peeked at it in a book store for about 15 minutes once. Just did not interest me. Certainly not worth $40.

actually they are. even though im not a nirvanna fan, it was still really sad/interesting of the stuff he wrote about. like when he got a paper top drum kit for xmas one year that he had to beg for, then his sister poked holes in the top with a screwdriver

Chris Black, the British punk who sold Cobain his famous black and red jumper, wants his favourite garment back. During a recent BBC2 show, Black recalled the events that lead up to him trading clothes with Kurt Cobain: "Me and my mate Marshy decided to head up to King's Hall to meet with some mates. We didn't have tickets but somehow I managed to get in. I was backstage when Nirvana's bass player came out and invited me to meet the band. Courtney came over and told me she loved my jumper and could she have it. I had no idea what she was planning to do with the jumper, but then I saw Kurt wearing it on several occasions. It's a bit strange to think that the jumper went from me to Kurt Cobain."

Lets just say coming from Belfast I probably used an unfair advantage over you in asking that question... cost of the jumper £40.
