HANK HARRISON UPDATE - 8/20/2005
Halperin and Wallace are making a documentary which is stalled in the legal process. Halperin is the front man, but Wallace is the documentary film maker. They are working with Tom Grant to make me look bad, but somebody else is also up in arms so they can clean up. Lets see now, they did a book and it sold like hot cakes, they both got married had kids and bought new cars and houses. Then they did another book and cleaned up again. Then they started a documentary film with Grant's exclusive interviews bad rapping me and not giving me equal time or Leland for that matter. No word was ever spoken about Kurt's politics or his brilliance, they just talked about the death. They didn't even have the balls to point the finger at Courtney and Geffen and Goldberg and Rosemary Carroll. Come on folks lets face it. Courtney wasn't the only person to profit from Kurt's death.
Lets make on other point. Calli was missing for ten years, then, in his own BLOG, we discover that he was working a one band A&R gig for Geffen. How did he get that position? How much was he paid? Was he qualified? Don't kid yourself. Calli's dad demolished the garage in Seattle and has been hired for many jobs by Courtney since Kurt died.
Oh BTW Grant bought a new 1/2 million plus house on the tres chic Monterey Peninsula, partially with money gained from the contract with Halperin and Wallace. I am sure his right wing jobs guarding right wing political assets, also paid off well.
And then they tell everybody they are not exploiting Kurt's death.
Then on top of that "LIE" they are incommunicado. They were staying in touch with me, but now they can't be bothered, so that makes it obvious they don't want me to know what they are up to. I can't promote their film because obviously they INTEND to slander me. Make me look bad etc.
I have friends in Toronto and all over Canada. Meanwhile Grant et al., have spread the word that I am trying to exploit the case. I have not made a nickel in profit from this case. I have received some money but its about 1/10th of what I have spent out of pocket. I am currently selling off family heirlooms to get enough money to survive. Luckily my wife's horse business is breaking even.
Now lets look at Grant. Where was Tom Grant on Monday-Tuesday April 4-5. 1994? Why didn't he look into the attic of the a-frame garage? OK maybe he wasn't too bright! That's my point folks, he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer and he hates me because I am brilliant and very left wing in my political views. Naturally he fears and hates me. I have a criminal record, he's a cop. My criminal record is for political demos, trespass, pot, disorderly conduct petty theft and other petty stuff. Felony's reduced to misdemeanors. I was on the road with the Grateful Dead for many years as I went to college with those guys. I was never a gofer or a roadie for them, but I did handle business affairs and acted as a trouble shooter drug counselor. I even smuggled Hash. I stood up for women's rights, and worked for Barbara Boxer (I know her personally). I studied with Saul Alinsky (Rules for Radicals) and I know for a fact Courtney is a f**king Nazi Satan worshipper who only yesterday was ordered back into rehab. She bribed the social worker so I can't see the granddaughter and then we see a pic of her and her mom flashing the Satan sign all over, which Courtney also did on the Pamela Anderson roast. People wake up! I am a Buddhist, and I am sure anybody who believes in Satan is a crackpot, since there is no such thing.
Grant has this mysterious belief that I should be supporting my daughter and that if it were his (RIGHT WING) kid he would be behind her all the way. From this he deducts, (again he's not a skilled logician) that I can only be motivated by greed. Well, wait a minute, am I supposed to be supporting her Satan worship bull nuts? She has made no denial that she rocks with Satan and so forth. Dismiss this at your own peril. I know my own kid. She means it. She's nuts, but she means it.
Here's the deal for all you people who loved Kurt. Kurt Cobain was a radical like me, he was doing a radical job and playing radical music, in All Apologies he is saying, don't be so easily amused or led astray. And I repeat that statement. For gods sake people open your eyes. I may be a screwed up old man, but I am not out to ruin what Kurt stood for. He wasn't murdered he was Assassinated. Cobain died for his political views. Nothing can be as radical as "Happiness is a rock in a cops face." I wonder what Grant thinks of that? If Kurt had been allowed to live he would have his whole fan club organized to rock the vote, and now you sheep people sit back depressed and you think he killed himself.
He was made to look suicidal to make sure his radical philosophy was killed off. Am I the only Cobainist, who sees this? Kurt was right up there with Martin Luther King and JFK who were also shot. Kurt was dead when he was shot, but they had to add the shotgun to make it look disgusting, to make his philosophy look bad. How many of you were on a radical track and then got off when Kurt died?
Well, get back on. Cobain didn't kill himself. Radicals don't kill themselves, they live for the people.

If you want to read my book send me 12 bucks plus postage and I will burn a CD for you. That's the only way you can get it now. I want this to come out before the Halperin Wallace documentary sees the light of day. At least I will have a chance to defend myself.

Tom Grant is not amused - he never bought a big house and he's not making a fortune over the Cobain doc - and neither am I. In fact, I'm thousands of dollars in debt over this doc. It's ludicrous postings like this why people don't take Harrison seriously. I have nothing against him, personally, but he blatantly got his facts wrong about Grant, my film and everything else.
