Recently, we posted a story about a note — revealed by Seattle police — that was supposedly written by Kurt Cobain…the important of the letter was what is spoke of wife Courtney Love in a pretty unfavorable matter. Now, Seattle Times is reporting that Love says she was the one to wrote said note, not her husband:
…in an email Friday to The Seattle Times, Love said that she, not Cobain, wrote the note and that it dates from 1991, not 1994, when Cobain died by suicide.
Found in Cobain’s wallet by police, the note reads in part, “Do you Kurt Cobain take Courtney Michelle Love to be your lawful shredded wife, even when she’s a bitch with zits and siphoning all [your] money for doping and whoring … ”
The CBS News story said the note raised “further questions about what role [Cobain’s] famously troubled personal life and marriage played in his demise.”
However, Cobain and Love typically traded such notes, laced with sarcasm and course references to sexuality and drug use.
The note was written on stationery from the Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco. Love said she penned it on New Year’s Eve 1991, the night Nirvana appeared in San Francisco with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pearl Jam.
While the full note was not initially published, the last line is a pledge for the couple to have sex “at least once a week, O.K.”
Love’s authorship is supported by two sources who examined the handwriting, including Love’s sister, Nicole Jon Carroll, and a former employee of the Kurt Cobain estate who has closely examined Cobain’s and Love’s journals.
