Courtney Love Selling Kurt's Songs... To Martha Stewart?
Posted by Archive Bot on Wednesday, December 7, 2005 at 8:24 AM
An article in London's Sunday Mirror claims that Kurt Cobain's widow and all around disgusting, drug addled, freehole, Courtney Love is selling a quarter of Nirvana's back catalog to homemaking crook Martha Stewart for 70 million pounds (that's over 121 million american dollars to you gringos). The article claims that Stewart is looking at the purchase as an investment. No word on what Love sees the purchase as. I'm guessing she sees it as a mountain of fresh Peruvian nose candy that would make Tony Montana jealous.Even I can't make this shit up. Read the article for yourself here.

Maybe they are worth $450 million to you, but to me they are priceless! Dec 7, 2005

They aren't to you? What the fuck kind of music fan doesn't enjoy the Beatles? A stupid fucking one that's what. Dec 7, 2005
You can't seriously be defending Michael Jackson though. Dec 7, 2005
Also, Your approximate 450 million dollar figure for the Beatles catalog combined with Jackson's is a little decieving- first of all; Jackson's back catalog will never recover the value it's lost over the last 10 years AND Jackson has done nothing with the Beatles catalog for 2 reasons- 1) the surviving Beatles have just enough legal recourse to give Jackson another legal headache and 2) for the backlash he would recieve from the Millions of Beatles fans, as well as a public that already can't stand him.
As a side not I think we can all agree on- To hell with Jackson, Love, and anyone else that would take money and profit for music they had nothing to do with- those royalties should trickle down to family members of the band and writers once the musicians die off. Dec 7, 2005

For those who are dim, that was a joke.
And to those who are upset at the owners of the rights to songs they had nothing to do with. Guess what, it's the music BUSINESS. It is a sad fact, but it is a FACT. There is a business side to the "art" and that's just the nature of the beast. Were it not for the business aspect, many of us would never hear a great many songs we now call favorites. Double edged sword.
P.S. how dumb do you have to be to not get that joke I made earlier? Seriously! Dec 7, 2005

You're gonna tell me you don't like "Thriller" or anything The Beatles have done? You fuck. Dec 7, 2005

Once again, you bring up the Beatles. Where the fuck did I say I didn't like anything the Beatles have done? In fact, the only fucking thing I stated was that I didn't consider them priceless. And I stand by that, because if I owned Jackson's music library and someone offered ME $450 million dollars for the rights to them, I wouldn't fucking think twice before selling. That fucking hardly reflects something priceless and it has nothing to do with what I think of them as artitsts. I own 5 Beatles albums which I still listen to. And Thriller aside, everything else Jackson has done has been overrated pop bullshit. If you don't agree, either way I'm entitled to my own opinion you pretentious fuck.
I still don't understand what you're being such a fucking prick about though. Or do you always make up bullshit by twisting other people's statements around to be a little bitch? Dec 7, 2005

It does reflect the way you think of him as an artist b/c a bright individual would auction off the rites to the music, I mean come on, I'm sure an auction would garner a higher selling price than some random offer. Plus everyone knows you never take the first offer. It's obviously worth more than that to them, they aren't starting with their ceiling bid. You are a silly goose. Dec 7, 2005

Dumbest arguement ever. It has nothing to do with how much I think they're music is worth. Fuck, I'd sell it for $100 million, give half away and would still be just as happy as if I had sold it for $450 million. Either way it's way more than enough money any one person needs to be happy with.
You guys are completely taking my statement the wrong way. Saying their music isn't priceless has absolutely nothing to do with musical ability. When you're talking about whether or not something is priceless you're talking about value, which has nothing to do with whether you like to listen to something or not.
Fucking internet and everyone's desire to turn every little thing into a big fucking personal deal. Dec 7, 2005
you'd give about £100 to charity (enough to buy yourself a place in heaven)... and spend the rest on yourself Dec 7, 2005

In that you are the only one taking it seriously, yes. And why you are is a mystery to me. Chill out and learn to joke around and I'm sure life will be much more enjoyable. [color=white:c200f473e1]And now I wait for a response like, "I do have fun, all my friends think I'm the funnest, you don't know me. You're all internet assholes." I beg you, please make me look like an asshole and begin to lighten up.[/color:c200f473e1] Dec 7, 2005

My whole orginal statement started out as a toungue in cheek joke. You guys are the ones that got all defensive and attacked me, so speak for yourself. Dec 7, 2005
Man, I totally fucking hate you now. Stop picking on people in news threads you stupid fucking idiot. Ever since you became mod you've been an asshole. Please die! Also, I do have fun, all my friends think I'm the funnest, you don't know me. You're all internet assholes. [color=white:296a47e9db]This entire thread makes me giggle.[/color:296a47e9db] Dec 7, 2005

Agreed. Plus Incesticide is great, their poppiest outing by far. But some fantastically fun "grunge" songs on it. Dec 7, 2005
