Mysterious Death of Kurt Cobain?

Hello everyone,

Today my post is music related (of course), but also something interesting, sad and debatable. Was Kurt Cobain's death a murder, or suicide?

Personally, I think that his death was due to murder, so I'm going to discuss the reasons why:

1) Impossible due to Overdose

Kurt had overdosed on 3 times the lethal dose of heroin. With one dose, this can be lethal, let alone 3. So, how could Kurt have reached out for a gun? Scientists say this is physically impossible, and he wouldn't have even been able to lift his head.

2) No Fingerprints

Another huge giveaway is that there was no fingerprints left on absolutely anything. When the gun was examined, there were no fingerprints suggesting that it had been cleaned or wiped. Not only this, but there were no fingerprints found on the pen used to write the suicide note, and no fingerprints found on the box of shotgun shells.

3) Handwriting Practise Note

Found in Courtney Love's bag was a handwriting practise sheet to copy Kurt's writing, pretty much proving that she could have easily forged his suicide note.

4) Money for Murder

Eldon Hoke, the singer of a band called the Mentors, claimed he was offered $50,000 by Courtney Love three months earlier to kill her husband. He also completely passed a lie detector test by a result of 99.7% certainty that he was telling the truth.

5) No Behavioural Pattern for Suicide

A number of Kurt's close friends said that he was "not atall suicidal", "upbeat", and that he had claimed only a few days before that he was "the happiest he'd ever been in all his life". 


So, there are 5 reasons, however there are many many more. What do you think? Leave comments below!

20th Anniversary of Morning Glory!

Hello!

So today I thought that this article was completely necessary, as it is the day of Oasis' (What's The Story) Morning Glory? 20th Anniversary, from 2nd October 1995 to the exact same day in 2015.

What would be better to do than pick out the beautiful lyrics in this masterpiece?

Track 1) Hello

"Nobody ever mentions the weather can make our break your day, nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play"
"Cos the years are following by like the rain, and it's never gonna be the same, 'til the life I knew comes to my house and says hello"

Track 2) Roll With It

"You gotta roll with it, you gotta take your time, you gotta say what you say don't let anybody get in your way"
"Don't ever stand aside, don't ever be denied, you wanna be who you'd be if you're coming with me"
"Kiss the girl she's not behind the door, d'ya know I think I recognise your face but I've never seen you before"

Track 3) Wonderwall

"I don't believe that anybody feels the way I do about you now"
"And all the roads we have to walk are winding, and all the lights that lead us there are blinding, there are many things that I would like to say to you but I don't know how"
"Because maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me, and after all you're my wonderwall"

Track 4) Don't Look Back in Anger

"So I start a revolution from my bed, cos you said the brains I had went to my head"
"Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger, I heard you say"
"Please don't put your life in the hands of a rock n' roll band, who'll throw it all away"

Track 5) Hey Now!

"I took a walk with my fame down memory lane, I never did find my way back"
"You know that I gotta say times slipping away, and what will it hold for me"

Track 6) Some Might Say

"Some might say that sunshine follows thunder, go and tell it to the man who cannot shine"
"Some might say you get what you've been given, if you don't get yours I won't get mine as well"

Track 7) Cast No Shadow

"Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say, chained to all the places that he never wished to stay"
"He walks along the open road of love and life, surviving if he can"

Track 8) She's Electric

"There's lots and lots for us to do, she is electric, can I be electric too?"

Track 9) Morning Glory

"Another sunny afternoon, walking to the sound of your favourite tune, tomorrow never knows what it doesn't know too soon"
"Need a little time to rest your mind, you know you should so I guess that you might as well"

Track 10) Champagne Supernova

"How many special people change, how many lives are living strange, where were you while we were getting high?"
"Wake up the dawn and ask her why, a dreamer dreams she never dies, wipe that tear away now from your eye"
"Cos you and I, we live and die, the world's still spinning round we don't know why, why why why why?"


So there you are, one of the best albums in the history of music. 20 years!!

 “That’s probably as psychedelic as I’ll ever get. It means different things when I’m in different moods."- Noel Gallagher on Champagne Supernova
