Section Taken From Courtney Love- The True Story

Post Sat Oct 07, 2006 11:44 pm

Taken from "Courtney Love- The True Story"

"The Cobain's discovered a pair of english girls called Victoria Clarke and Britt Collins sniffing around their headquaters, collins had little journalistic experience other than music reviews for music magazines.Clarke's claim to credibility was having dated Shane MacGowan of the pogues and she still used his name to talk her way into wherever she could.They tried to convince a number of friends and industry insiders that their book had nirvana's blessing.Clarke even intimated that she had slept with dave grohl.A neighbour reported seeing someone of clarke's description trying to break into the cobains house.Kurt and courtney panicked.."If anything comes out in this book that hurts my wife i'll fucking hurt you" said the first message on victoria clarke's answer machine..there were nine altogether in two minute increments.The voice was young,hoarse and tired."You paralistic little cunts at this point i don't give a fuck if i have this recorded that im threatening you..I suppose i could throw out a couple of hundred thousand dollars to have you snuffed out but maybe i'll try it the legal way first.Courtney,Krist and Dave left messages too..all on the same drunken night but Kurt's was the only one's clarke released to select magazine.According to sources who have heard the entire tape, the unreleased messages contained such cruel descriptions of clarke and collins that the the would be biographers were too embarrassed to make them public" :shock:

Sounds like the Cobain entourage had a serious case of mass paranoia...

Wow I find this very odd, Ive long been a fan of Nirvana, and recall several documentaries where this is mentioned, however, I never tied the reporter to being the Victoria Clarke.

Come to think of it, I actually have a 2 minute cut of Kurts message on a bootleg I own, Im listening to it right now.........

How incredibly odd.
