The Cobain Diaries

(Insanely late right now. I'm just stealing something verbatim from the Onion)

Journals, a book culled from the various journal entries of Kurt Cobain, recently hit bookstores. Among the revelations

  • Admitted he had all of Sonic Youth's albums only so people would think he was cool
  • Smoked pot once at summer camp
  • Got to sixth base with Courtney Love
  • Margins filled with drawings of monster trucks
  • Thought racism, sexism was wrong
  • Was upset Husker Du never wrote back
  • Aug. 8, 1987: "The cackling vampires dance on our graves."
  • Aug. 9, 1987: "Note to self: tequila and mushrooms don't mix"
  • Sometimes kinda wondered if maybe Love was a power hungry, attention craving bitch with violent tendencies and no discernible talent who was riding his coattails to a major record deal and would eventually drive him to an early grave
  • Despite all the problems they had together, always maintained a deep, abiding love for heroin.

Have a good weekend everybody. Go Illini.
