On March 18, , Love called authorities because Cobain had taken medication and locked himself in a closet with guns. When the police arrived, they determined he was not suicidal, but as a safety precaution, confiscated the medication and firearms. Shortly after, Love pleaded with Cobain to get clean, which she was trying to do herself. He checked into a rehab clinic in L. On April 5, , in the guest house behind his Seattle home, a year-old Cobain committed suicide. He placed a shotgun into his mouth and fired, killing himself instantly. He left a lengthy suicide note in which he addressed his many fans as well as his wife and young daughter. While his death was officially ruled as a suicide, conspiracy theories have circulated that Love may have had something to do with his death. However, legal battles concerning Cobain's unreleased music began brewing between Grohl and Novoselic and Love. We strive for accuracy and fairness.

After studying the notes, Grant believed that it was actually a letter written by Cobain announcing his intent to leave Love, Seattle, and the music business. Grant asserts that the lines at the very bottom of the note, separate from the rest, are the only parts implying suicide. While the official report on Cobain's death concluded that Cobain wrote the note, Grant claims that the official report does not distinguish these final lines from the rest of the note and assumes it was entirely written by Cobain. Despite consulting with many handwriting experts, some disagree with Grant's claims. Document examiner Janis Parker concluded that the note was written by Cobain after spending two weeks examining the original copy. When Dateline NBC sent a copy of the note to four different handwriting experts, one concluded that the entire note was in Cobain's hand, while the other three said the sample was inconclusive. But in the same documentary, two other experts found the writing, especially the last four lines, suspicious. Grant also cites circumstantial evidence from the official report. For example, the report claimed that the doors of the greenhouse could not have been locked from the outside, meaning that Cobain would have had to lock them himself. Grant said that when he saw the doors for himself, he found that they could be locked and pulled shut. He also questions the lack of fingerprint evidence connecting Cobain to key evidence, including the shotgun.

  • "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC: POLKAS, PARODIES and the POWER of SATIRE by Chuck Miller Originally Published in Goldmine #514
    "WEIRD AL" YANKOVIC: POLKAS, PARODIES AND THE POWER OF SATIRE By Chuck Miller Originally published in Goldmine #514 Al Yankovic strapped on his accordion, ready to perform. All he had to do was impress some talent directors, and he would be on The Gong Show, on stage with Chuck Barris and the Unknown Comic and Jaye P. Morgan and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine. "I was in college," said Yankovic, "and a friend and I drove down to LA for the day, and auditioned for The Gong Show. And we did a song called 'Mr. Frump in the Iron Lung.' And the audience seemed to enjoy it, but we never got called back. So we didn't make the cut for The Gong Show." But while the Unknown Co mic and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine are currently brain stumpers in 1970's trivia contests, the accordionist who failed the Gong Show taping became the biggest selling parodist and comedic recording artist of the past 30 years. His earliest parodies were recorded with an accordion in a men's room, but today, he and his band have replicated tracks so well one would think they borrowed the original master tape, wiped off the original vocalist, and superimposed Yankovic into the mix. And with MTV, MuchMusic, Dr. Demento and Radio Disney playing his songs right out of the box, Yankovic has reached a pinnacle of success and longevity most artists can only imagine. Alfred Yankovic was born in Lynwood, California on October 23, 1959. Seven years later, his parents bought him an accordion for his birthday.

  • A Vent'anni Dalla Morte Moriva Suicida L'8 Aprile Del 1994 Il Cantante E
    A vent’anni dalla morte KURT COBAIN, ANTIEROE DEL ROCK ‘GRUNGE’ Moriva suicida l’8 aprile del 1994 il cantante e chitarrista dei Nirvana, la band di punta del Seattle Sound, che incendiò la scena musicale Usa tra gli ultimi anni ’80 e l’inizio dei ’90. In pochi dischi – “In Utero”, “Bleach”, “Nevermind” – e con una canzone di successo planetario come “Smells like teen spirit” seppe intercettare lo stato d’animo, le speranze e le frustrazioni di un’intera generazione di adolescenti. Ma poi lui non resse la pressione del successo, la sua trasformazione in rockstar. Preferì farla finita, come un Arthur Rimbaud di fine XX secolo. _____________________________________________________________________________ di Cosimo Ruggieri 5 Aprile 1994; scritta in modo cosi solitario questa data non rappresenta nulla...... Il 5 Aprile del 1994 mi trovavo a scuola. Erano più o meno le 11.00 di mattina e nella mia scuola, sull’ampio piazzale con fontana inclusa (erano gli ex studi cinematografici Ponti-De Laurentiis quelli che ora ospitano la sede del Istituto di Stato per la Cinematografia e la Televisione Roberto Rossellini) si svolgeva la ricreazione. Vidi arrivare un mio amico e compagno di scuola con una faccia triste e una notizia non buona come la sua faccia: era morto suicida, all’età di 27 anni, Kurt Cobain leader chitarrista e voce dei Nirvana. Esattamente a 27 anni, un altra new entry nel club dei 27 (Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jimi-Hendrix, Jim Morrison, e che tra gli altri “sfortunati” membri conta Robert Johnson, Ron Pigpen McKernan, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Amy Winehouse). Su Kurt Cobain è stato scritto tutto o quasi, quindi a meno che tu non lo abbia conosciuto di persona o che tu abbia conosciuto una persona che lo conosceva o che tu intervisti una persona che ti riconduca a lui, c’è molto o molto poco da dire – dipende dai gusti.

  • Andrew Knox HUM 125 – Hip-Hop Theory and Culture September 30Th, 2010
    Andrew Knox HUM 125 – Hip-Hop Theory and Culture September 30th, 2010 Reflection Paper #1: Music Autobiography Music didn't enter my consciousness until late in eighth grade. I was raised thinking that music was just what my parents listened to: the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Uncle Bonsai. My parents were complete deadheads, from 1984 until about two years after my sister was born, in 1996. They dragged me from womb to carriage to toddler tether to multiple Dead shows along the I-5 corridor from Mount Vernon to Medford. I hated it. It was loud and screechy. The sun threw down malicious rays from high noon. And it smelled like... “incense” everywhere. So, with most of my early childhood memories associated with music being negative, I wholeheartedly avoided music as long as I could. I only took Clarinet in fifth grade because of peer pressure. But I was missing a lot. Most of my friends and classmates were listening to the bands that were popular when we were in seventh grade back when we were in seventh grade, so I would endure ridicule for being “so behind the curve” when I became obsessed with these same songs in tenth grade. “Weird Al” Yankovic was my gateway drug. In seventh grade, when my friends were hatching and maturing their musical tastes, moving away from the white Seattle kid starter kit of Nirvana and Presidents of the United States of America towards more current chart-toppers, like Eminem, System of a Down, Puddle of Mudd and Blink-182, I was becoming relatively certain that Running With Scissors was the best album ever conceived, recorded, mixed, mastered, pressed, shrink-wrapped and sold to a fat, lonely 12-year old protagonist.
