Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love with then-baby daughter Frances Bean Cobain were happy on the outside back in 1993, but there was a lot of drugs and drama hiding behind their smiles. | Source: WENN
Considering Kurt Cobain wasn’t a fan of commercialism in music, despite Nirvana being one of the most influential and successful bands in history, we don’t think he’d be too stoked about this. His widow, Hole singer and infamously hot mess Courtney Love, is in talks to bring her life with Kurt Cobain, as well as Nirvana’s song catalog, to the Broadway stage.
As if that weren’t bad enough? The news was revealed in court by none other than creepmeister Sam Lutfi. As in, the Sam Lutfi who is currently at war with Britney Spears‘ parents and being accused of being a drug pusher and all-around bad dude. Seriously, is there anything right with this picture? Because we can’t find anything.
Considering Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love were hounded by the media in their business for most of their time together, it’s a little insensitive to his memory for her to put him in the spotlight again–he was really reluctant to be there in the first place when he was alive.
Quite a few movies and theories about Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain have been made–they were essentially the 1990s grunge version of the legendary trainwreck punk couple Sid and Nancy: Last Days and Courtney and Kurt, specifically. We can understand why Courtney would want to tell her side of the story, but is it really a good idea? She’s had such an insane rollercoaster since his death, especially with their daughter Frances Bean Cobain, that it may be best to just leave things alone and quit capitalizing on something so tragic and toxic.
That and we just can’t wrap our heads around turning “Smells Like Teen Spirit” into a show tune. We don’t think Kurt Cobain would want to be associated with jazz hands.
Do you think Courtney Love should make a Broadway play about her life with Kurt Cobain? Do you think Kurt Cobain would approve of a movie or Broadway show about his life? Would you see a Broadway show comprised of Nirvana songs? Tell us in the comments!

NO!!!! She’s such an a-hole. Kurt would HATE that. I thought they were married, which would imply they KNEW each other. And if she knew him, she would know he would hate this idea. She’s the main one always saying “Kurt would want this. Kurt would think this. Kurt thought this.” And now she’s doing this bull. Ok, Courtney. Seriously, if its not for the money, its definitely the drugs. Or maybe the money for the drugs. But DON’T say its for his memory or that he would have wanted it.
i really hope this does not happen…
