courtney to sell kurt's stuff

courtney love is going to have a christies auction to sell of stuff from their life together with a few things set aside for his daughter frances bean.

article link here

what i liked best about the article was the fact that she confessed to still wearing kurt's pajamas to bed every night.

it's the prosaic details that we sort of generally overlook when thinking about heroes. and yes, both of them - warts and all i consider heroes. kurt for his refusal of all things 'rockstar' and courtney for well, being courtney i suppose. all i can say is that i remember watching the mtv news clip of her reading kurt's suicide note to fans and inserting her bitter, hurt, grieving commentary along side.

three brillant voices of my generation went silent by various means in the space of three years and i cannot think of one without the other two:

kurt cobain: april 5, 1994
2pac shakur: sept 13, 1996
biggie smalls: march 9, 1997
