Sorry Danielle, I didn't mean to imply you liked Courtney. What I meant was even though we don't agree on the murder theory, I have no problem with you, whereas Doll Parts, is annoying the hell out of me. At least you try to substantiate your arguments.
On a different note read this. It came from my web-ring today and it's very interesting. I just finished the book and it was FASCINATING and at the same time I just read this:

"The Cobain Case" film premiers in Halifax
By Genevieve Perreault
Date Nov 06 2004
Ten years ago, police declared rock music icon Kurt Cobain killed
himself. Investigative journalist Ian Halperin doesn't buy that and,
on Friday, he used his new film, The Cobain Case, to convince
Haligonians Nirvana's front man was murdered. How well did he succeed?
Jen Murphy is 26 and was "prime age" when Cobain died. She was a fan
of Nirvana's music in the early 90s, and still is today.
"Every music since Nirvana has been affected by Nirvana," she says.
So she was looking forward to watching the Canadian premiere of The
Cobain Case, a controversial new film by award winning investigative
journalist Ian Halperin. Murphy was one of about 75 people who turned
up at the Dalhousie Student Union Building to see the film, which
examines the circumstances surrounding the 1994 death of rock-group
Nirvana's lead signer, Kurt Cobain.
"The man was a pure genius," say Halperin, who directed and narrated
the film. In the past 10 years, the investigative journalist has
released two books on Cobain's death, Love and Death: The murder of
Kurt Cobain, and Who Killed Kurt Cobain? The Mysterious Death of an
Icon, as well as recently directed this film.
A murder, not a suicide
Before he screened the film, Halperin asked how many people believed
Cobain's death had been a suicide. About half the audience, including
Murphy, raised their hand.
"I will go on the record, that scientifically it is impossible" Kurt
Cobain killed himself, Halperin told them. Although Seattle police
declared the death a suicide, Halperin says he has discovered enough
evidence to know Cobain was in fact murdered.
In the film, Halperin recounted the events leading up to and following
Kurt Cobain's death. He stated that it would be impossible for Cobain
to have shot himself after he had injected three doses of heroin into
his arm. He would have been unconscious within seconds. Instead,
Halperin charged Cobain's widow, punk-rock signer Courtney Love, of
murdering, or plotting to murder her husband.
Halperin interviewed several sources closely involved in the
investigation, including private detective Tom Grant. Grant provided
Halperin with hours of tape recordings between himself, Love and her
lawyer. Halperin includes some of them in the movie. He says the
reason she was never charged is that Love had "too much power" in
Seattle. None of Halperin's allegations have been tested in court.
At the end of the hour-and-a-half film, Halperin once again asked how
many people believed Cobain's had killed himself. This time, only four
people raised their hands. The majority said they were now undecided.
Chris Currie, who had come to the screening with little background
knowledge of the event, said the film had given him a lot to think
about.
"It raised a lot of interesting questions," he said.
But others, including Murphy, were not convinced. "Where's the
evidence?" she asked before leaving. She says that although Halperin
talked to a lot of "crazy" people, he had not proved to her what she
had come to find out.
"Tribute to the great artist"
Halperin isn't upset if people don't agree with his arguments. He
believes it's important to get his message across. He says it was
important for Kurk's fans to know the truth.
"This film, he says, "was a murder theory, but also a tribute to the
great artist Kurt Cobain."
Although it has been a decade since Cobain's death, Halperin does not
believe the rock icon will disappear from people's minds. "I don't
think we've heard the last of this," he said. In fact, he believes
that one day, Cobain's murders will be convicted. Justice, he says,
which will see the guilty tried and convicted.
Funny how more and more awareness of this case is coming out. Despite protests of innocence from the pro-Courtney camps and people like you, Danielle, who don't like Courtney but are unwilling to believe the murder theory, more and more people are starting to notice that somethings not right with this case. The heroin levels alone should have been enough to change the cause of death from "suicide" to "undetermined" and the message is getting out there more and more, and more and more people are starting to realize there's more to Kurt's death than meets the eye. Time will tell what's going to happen to this case; my guess is eventually public pressure will lead to the reopening of this case and unless Courtney is truly innocent, she's going to start sweating big time, if she's not already.
You guys have GOT to read the book Love and Death. I can't believe I finished it so fast but I was totally mesmerized. It has some fascinating stuff in it that I didn't know including an interview with Allen Wrench, El Duce and a one-on-one with Dylan Carlson. It's incredible! Also Kristin Pfaffs family was interviewed and they say alot of interesting things about Courtney. If you don't have a copy of the book, GET IT! You can find it at Amazon.com for $15.95.
Geez, I sound like a paid advertisement. I'm going back to bed. <cough cough> ;D
