Courtney Love is in trouble again. After drug abuse, alcohol abuse, lawsuits and arrests, after not being able to pay the mortgage for her properties, she decided she should do something about it. What way did she choose? The easiest, of course, which is selling a bit of Kurt Cobain's legacy.
Cobain committed suicide just 12 years ago. Rumor has it that Courtney herself might have had her part of fault in the whole incident, but this is an old story. Since 1994 until today, Love and the ex-members of Nirvana kept arguing about who should keep and who or how should use the Nirvana catalog. Legally, 95% belong to Courtney Love, but Dave Grohl and Chris Novoselic, Kurt's colleagues, claim for moral rights upon Nirvana released and unreleased works.
Since Hole, Courtney Love's own female rock band, is not doing quite all right. She should earn some amount of celebrity from other directions and definitely the Nirvana story is the most accessible one. So right now, being in great need, she decided to sell a quarter of the catalog to Larry Mestel of Primary Wave Music Publishing, former COO/GM of Virgin Records, as the Rolling Stone magazine informed.
Isn't it good to be around famous persons at the right time?
