Ever since Kurt Cobain killed himself - not only have I missed his presence on the music scene - and missed seeing what music he would have ended up writing (JACKASS) - but I have wondered: How is Frances Bean? Who is Frances Bean?
I've seen pictures of her, and she is like a little mini Kurt - there's something very fragile about the look in her eyes. Although that may just be projection on my part.
She is 11.
And her mother is obviously a dangerous lunatic.
I hope Frances stays with Kurt's mom. She must be traumatized.
Posted by Sheila O'Malley at October 29, 2003 01:12 PM | TrackBackYeah, but if you ever saw that MTV special "Fanatic" where a really huge Cobain fan visits Kurt's hometown and talks to Cobain's mother, among other people, might not be such an easy choice.
Who do you want the kid to be with? The lady that turned him into a whiny self-absorbed 'tard or the lady that made him kill himself.
I say give the child to the Donny Osmond.
Posted by: Christopher Cross at October 29, 2003 02:39 PMThere ain't nothin' you can tell me about Kurt Cobain that I probably don't know already! I saw that "fanatic" thing.
Obviously, I was an enormous fan of his music!!

Posted by: Christopher Cross at October 29, 2003 02:51 PMAh, so you noticed how I ungracefully dodged your question, eh?
I suppose I was avoiding having to admit the following: (and please do not crush my dreams - I have so few left)
I have a little fantasy that Frances Bean will emerge, in her 20s or whatever, as ... the next Joan Jett - or the next Chrissie Hynde - some bad-ass fabulously successful rock chick - but without Kurt's tortured soul ...
Anyway. This is my fantasy. And I fear that it will have no possibility of occurring if she grew up amongst a bunch of Osmonds.
Although you never know. They're the ones who taught us it was okay to be "a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n roll"...
Posted by: red at October 29, 2003 02:56 PMFrances Bean Cobain will have a much more successful musical career than Lourdes Ciccone Leon.
Posted by: Stephen Silver at October 29, 2003 02:57 PMSheila- Donny Osmond and Billy Idol are great friends. This is the God's honest truth. So, maybe Frances Bean would be ok with him. Let's hope that the first thing Donny would do is drop the middle name. All I can ever thing of is a lima bean when I hear her name. ewwww.
Posted by: Beth at October 29, 2003 07:57 PMNirvanna was my favorite band when I was a kid. Hole made me look into other bands because she totally ripped off her husbands style. Thanks to her shitty sold out screams I found The Gits. Frances is probably fucked in the head due to having a retarded drugged out mom, so I wouldn't be looking for a nexted Joan Jett. Probably a rich, spoiled Kelly Osbourne, but having a Drama queen mom with big std balls mom.
Posted by: liz at November 6, 2003 02:34 AMI hope Courtny gets put 2 death!!! She F**KING deserves it!!!! She killed Kurt and I will stand by my word untell I die...
Liz:
Please no!! Let me have my fantasy!!
I maintain the hope that Frances will emerge as some bad-ass cool and ALL RIGHT woman.
Posted by: red at November 6, 2003 09:52 AMI hope Frances Bean will not grow up a Manic Depressive...It's a hrd life to live. My Ex-Girlfreind was manic and ended up killing herself (pretty horrifically I might add). It's something I just don't understand. No matter how hard life is, If I had a daughter like Cobain did, I wouldn't be able to pull the trigger.
Posted by: Duck at November 6, 2003 11:00 PMI also feel horrible for Frances. I have the most extreme hatred for Courtney Love, she has no regard for anyone, not even herself. She did drugs while pregnant, she killed (not her, but she hired people) Kurt and took Frances' father away from him, at such a young age too. I cannot understand why a killer should have custody of a child. Courtney Love is scum, she's lower than scum. I think no matter where she lives Frances will always have her mother and father's problems on her shoulders. Well, who knows? As long as she's grungy I might like her music ^_^
Posted by: Shaye at November 11, 2003 11:20 AMYou all are obviously really stupid. Yes Frances Bean does look like Kurt a lot. It was no one's fault that Kurt had to die. He was depressed and on heroin. Heroin messes you up really bad. He wasn't thinking straight. Courtney didn't have anything to do with it because Kurt was at a hotel by himself and shot himself. I loved Kurt! He ruled. Nirvana ruled. He rules all the bands now, too. I have a feeling Frances Bean will be apart of some big pop culture conspiracy on MTV when she grows up. Courtney is wild lol but she's a cool mom.
Posted by: Jen Timper at November 14, 2003 04:02 PMHey Jen: this is my fucking blog - Don't come back.
I feel like you didn't even read any of the posts. So who's the stupid one?
I hate people who just show up and start flaming left and right.
Fuck off.
