Heavier Than Heaven ! A Kurt Cobain Story .
(Charles Cross)
Kurt Cobain Lives !!! yes , indeed ! Who will dare to forget This Bloke Who brought something new to the sound of music . GRUNGE !!! Though its roots went back to the mid 80s , it is most likely to have been popularised or invented by Kurt and Company ! To say he was an ICON is quite an understatement ! To those unaware about and Nirvana ( are there any ) let me briefly tell you guys that they rose to huge stardom with their Debut album " NEVERMIND " . It was just a stellar record with obviously led to Stellar sales. This Actually in turn surprised Kurt himself and it is said he could not handle the Fame . Well thats another story . There are number of tributes and Biographies made on Nirvana and Kurt Cobain . This Book However , stands out . Mr . Charles R Cross has done a fine job in Penning down Cobain musical career , his fight against Drugs (yes) and ofcourse His Untimely and Much Debated Death .I've always thought that a biography should be judged on how the author was able to stay out of the way, and let the events of the life present themselves. In this case, Cross is, like I noted above, mostly a success. His reputation as a respected music and entertainment journalist is apparently well-earned and his objectivity is very rarely questionable .That being said, his greatest feat, paradoxically, is the way he handles Kurt's final days. Much of it of course is speculation, for no one but Kurt knows how it all went down . Kurt , a Gun fanatic used his pet as his ticket to God , in search of peace and maybe a better world . Cross took the name "Heavier than Heaven" from a tour Nirvana did with the band Tad in the UK. The lead singer, Tad Doyle, was very obese; the name which was thought up by the tour promoters, was meant in part to poke fun at the inaccurate fact that Tad alone weighed more than all of the members of Nirvana put together. It was written with help by Courtney Love and is often considered to be inaccurate in its account of Cobain's life and his marriage with Love. Both Grohl and Novoselic have spoken out against the way they are portrayed in it. Many conspiracy theorists who believe Cobain may have been murdered by Love have also had problems with the way Cross described Cobain's death, as if he were there in the room. REST IN PEACE !!!!
