He's a piece of s-hit. Whether what he says about Courtney is true or not, she's still his daughter. Family should never attack family in such a public way. A good father's first instinct would be to believe the best in his daughter, not to publicly accuse and revile his own flesh and blood. Also he just couldn't wait to jump on the "Kurt Cobain Was Murdered" band wagon so he could make his money. He's pathetic.  |

yeah well some families hate eachother. and its not like courtney doesn't treat him the same way. she treats him like crap. saying she's not his real daughter and he gave her lsd. I don't know what I really think of him. I don't know too much about him though. Yeah a father's instinct is to believe the best but is there really anything good that his daughter is doing for him to believe in? he seems a lot more credible in some things then his perfect flesh and blood as you put it. I guess the way I see it is that there are two sides to everything. Shouldn't the daughter being the one respecting her father in the first place? Oh wait I forgot all the rules are bent just for courtney love. give me a break.

I think he's got a good head on his shoulders old Hank. He knows his daughter is a worthless piece of nuts c-unt & he admits it.

I feel hank Harrison is jealous of courtney because she has achieved fame on a far greater level than he ever did. He is kind of like a leech- using her to promote himself in which ever way that is, eg writing books about Kurt and publicly slamming her when ever the opportuntiy arises. He has made HIMSELF well known for being courtney love's father not hank harrison once associated with the Grateful dead.
I couldnt beleive it when I saw the Kurt and courtney DVD where he blasts her, and says 'I'll kick her arse'. It is dreadful the many things he has said about her over the years. He deserves not to see his grandaughter- which he doesn't. A father should be supportive.

Hank Harrison is an idiot! I can't believe that people would say things like that about their own daughter. That's just f**ken wroug. Not just that but he is making money through his books like Kurt Cobain Beyond Nirvana. That's sickening and sad.Hank stood their throughout Kurt and Courtney trying to be important
If Courtney has any mental issues she probabley inherited it from Hank. Courtney Love is alot of things but I don't think she's a murderess. ;D

Just wondering what peoples views on him are. Be as controversial as you like! I respect everything he says about his daughter cause none of it is nice but then again he doesnt really know her cause she was taking away from him when he gave her acid at age three. I think thats when it all started.... |

Hank Harrison? I think the man deserves to be heard, don't you? Why shouldn't he be?
Ok, granted that a lot of the time he comes across as a little unhinged and seems to share Courtney's trait of megalomania and fantasy, like his IQ stories: Himself, his wife, & Courtney, no doubt his dogs too, supposedly share 'genius' level IQs - so why arent they up there with the geniuses you have every right to ask?...
However the man claims to have done some worthy things, like given drug addicts counselling for many, many years, and has worked promoting suicide awareness. Both of which are commendable things. While on the other hand, Courtney has only worked at promoting awareness of herself... please think about that one.
Courtney made the LSD claims during a Barbara Walters TV interview, but when pressed further in 1995 she admitted that she didn't know if it really happened. We all know how trustworthy Courtney Love is with the truth, uhuh. Considering that Hank fought Courtney's mother for custody of Courtney as a child, nowhere in the transcripts of the divorce proceedings does it state that Hank had given LSD to Courtney. He lost custody due to his association with The Grateful Dead. So, you can write your own ticket on that one...
Rocket, I've also seen the Kurt & Courtney DVD and you failed to mention Hank's side of the story: When Courtney resurfaced in Hanks life she was a deliquent teenager on drugs; she stole from him; she trashed his house; she turned tricks there; she sent him a letter telling him that while in reform school she'd 'knifed a girl because she didn't like her looks'... in short, she made their lives hell. To such an extent that Hank and his partner were force to buy guard dogs to safeguard themselves and the other children living with them, from Courtney. Now, does that seem so unreasonable? Do you think that Hank Harrison would be behaving the way he does, say if his daughter had been Gwyneth Paltrow? Patti Smith?
Forgive me for also pointing out to you (perhaps you are reading too many of Courtney's self commisioned lie-o-graphies) that Hank has every right to be onto Courtney case and not for reasons of trying to cash in on her 15 mins of fame but because Hank Harrison is Frances Bean's grandfather. Why shouldn't he be concerned? With unfounded suspicions circulating that Courtney may have been involved in the death of Kurt Cobain, why shouldn't he also be concerned about the welfare of his grand-daughter? Does that really seem so hard to understand? Did you ever have a grandfather, I ask?
Reputedly half of the Cobain estate is held in a trust until Frances Bean reaches the age to inherit. Given Courtney's propensity for violence, greed and control - I think that we all have reasons to be concerned as to that little girl's welfare.
Lastly (you must be as exhausted as I am) Courtney Love has silenced Hank Harrison over the years from publishing his book about her. What is she hiding? Is she so insecure that she thinks that her reputation can't take the knock of anything that Hank might say about her? In Courtney Love land democracy and free speech don't seem to exist. Her so called strength comes from cowardice and intimidation. One of the most valid reasons of why I detest her, and quite publically too...
Now that Courtney Love has injected, smoked and swallowed the Cobain fortune that silenced her detractors and also her father, Hank might finally be in the position to publish his book about her. However erroneous or misleading it might be no doubt their might be something in there that might assist the murder investigation or shed further light on Courtney's psychopathic personality (as if we haven't seen enough already to convince us).
Nirvana fans obtain the soon to be released boxset by whatever means if you have to, but please don't give Courtney Love the satisfaction of acquiring another fortune to arm herself. Without money she's in a very vulnerable position. If you truly believe that Kurt was murdered, don't buy the boxset.
To end where I begun, why shouldn't Hank Harrison be heard so that people can form their own conclusions?

Excellent post, Andrea. That was very thought provoking and gave me much to think about. I downloaded several interviews from the Kurt and Courtney documentary and watched Hank Harrisons interview. Egotistical? Oh yeah. But when it comes to Courtney I think he may be right on the money.
When are they going to reopen the f**kin' case???

I bet they know deep down something is terribly wrong with the case but they will not open it no matter how much f**king evidence you give them.They are as stubborn as the Courtney Love fans.Nothing will convinve them no matter how credible. |

Awww thanks Hippiechild. I like your post as you're obviously somebody who cares deeply about family values and that's great.  Actually it was your post that triggered the idea if Hank Harrison would be behaving differently if his daughter had been somebody else and behaving differently. So I owe you part of the credit. I think that Hank is just an angry father - As you say he's definately egocentric and maybe he feels that in some way Courtney's behaviour has tarnished his reputation. I believe that his Grateful Dead book is very respected in the music biz. Sometime ago I saw a novel in Barnes & Noble titled 'Hank Harrison for President' but have no idea if was in reference to him... The Broomfield documentary, Kurt & Courtney, is also very interesting on many levels, if you haven't seen it you should. It's massively flawed in regards to the Heroin level in Kurt's blood and whether he'd have been able to pick up the gun, but that's well documented on Roger Lewis's site & also Grant's. It has it's funny moments too, like when the the paparazzi stalkers come face to face with Courtney and are so awestruck that they fail to ask any of the right questions. Equally parts of it are terrifying but it's really more about how Courtney Love has tried to control the media. A pal of mine in England say that the English release has extras on how Courtney tried to suppress screenings of the film in the US and how it became such a cause celebre at the Sundance festival. I'd love to see that. Whilst I'm here again, I'd also like to say to Rocket, I'm sorry if I came across as such a b*tch in my last posting but you have to understand that I need to be, in order to get the facts across. I guess that if I was pro-Courtney, I'd be working equally hard but the otherway. However I feel there really is little to be pro-Courtney about - unless you advocate violence, threatening journalists, abusing people and glamorizing the use of drugs, bad mothering and possibly even murder... Hippiechild, you are absolutely right. The sooner they re-open the case the better. It will come. Perhaps when Frances Bean reaches legal age then she'll demand it. Until then we mustn't be silenced. |

great posts Andrea & Hippie!
Personally I think Hank & Courtney's mother dropped her on her head a few times as an infant & they're not owning up to it!
