Courtney Love's fury

Courtney Love's fury as removal man throws out her prized £8,000 ‘work of art’ with the rubbish

It's a mistake any of us could make. When removal men spotted a dead bird in a matchbox at Courtney Love’s house, they assumed it was junk and threw it out.

But the embryonic chick was an £8,000 artwork, and the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain is said to be ‘blazing mad’ at its loss.

Insiders say she has thrown a ‘hissy fit’ and fired her assistant for failing to look after such a treasured possession.

The untitled artwork by fashionable British artist Polly Morgan – whose creations are much admired by Kate Moss and Damien Hirst – had been standing on a 6ft plinth in the corner of Ms Love’s bedroom.

But during preparations for the move in Los Angeles, supervised by the assistant, the pedestal was packed ready for shipping to the new house. The chicklet, however, which was normally seen lying under a mini chandelier, was left sitting on a sideboard.

Binned: A dead bird 'artwork' by Polly Morgan, similar to the one lost by Courtney

I really don't care what celebidiots want to spend their money on, but when these same  :censored: idiots want tax dollars to support this crap, it pisses me off.

All the more reason why to this day I still think SHE'S the reason Kurt ended up eating a shotgun.

...and to think that for all these years, I've been hiding my artistic talents. I could be getting big bucks for my art. Like for instance, "Dead Liberal in a Deep Freeze" or "Stuffed Moonbat on a Unicycle".

the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain

He died 15 years ago today.  That's getting close to being a whole generation ago.  Did she not remarry?  Do kids today even know who Kurt Cobain was?

They probably have the same recognition of him that people my age did of Janis Joplin or Jimi Hendrix.  Died when they were very young, but not really fans (although I AM a fan of both) or understand their impact on music.

I played the "Pearl" CD the other day.  It had been a long time.  It was good to hear her voice.

Courtney WISHES she had 1 percent of the talent of Janis Joplin.

She was remarkable.  Her most powerful tune was "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)" from her "Kosmic Blues" album.  It's a stunner.

Some "artist" sold a bunch of crap in a can and made a mint.

Why not?  Some liberals think it's really "artsy" to put a crucifix in a jar of urine.

I bet I couldn't do that with a Barack Obama doll and get away with it.

Now that's just unnecessarily mean and accurate.

Sure you could. Go for it. Then send a pic to Hannity, Rush, and Queef Olberboylover.

Strangely enough, I like the Foo Fighters more than Nirvana.  Go figure.  Then again, there were a lot more serious contributors to the grunge scene AFTER Cobain died than before, and I say that as a guy who spent a few weekends there in the early 90's (Bangor and ferry trips to Seattle--where I still think Ivar's has awesome chowdah.)

Back when Nirvana was "big", I was mostly listening to Slayer and Pantera - Grunge was too popular, and full of stoned neohippies for my taste.

Can't argue with this:
