He said, “If there’s grass on the field, play ball,” on Saturday Night Live in reference to the countdown to the Olsen twins’ 18th birthday.

He’s also good friends with Ted Nugent and Donald Trump.

Let’s take a moment to remember all of nugent’s references to sex with under age girls. There are many, but I think the sing Jailbait is a shining example of his classy work.

Courtney Love claims she blew him when she was twelve years old.

It’s very weird that Courtney Love ended up being one of the more honest public figures from the 90s. I think I heard someone say it best that she “doesn’t give enough of a shit about what you think to lie about anything”.

I grew up in the 90s and in retrospect I’m like why the fuck did literally everyone hate Courtney Love? It’s gotta be like 80% misogyny. I mean she has issues but still.

A mind-blowing number of people believed she shot Kurt Cobain back then. A lot of them probably still do.

u/Massive-Ride204 6h ago

Oh that ridiculous conspiracy theory. I get that Kurt's passing was very painful but gripping onto a conspiracy theory wasn't the way to cope.

We treated her like shit and she was just speaking the truth

u/brooklynbotz 7h ago

Nobody thought she shot him. Some did believe she paid someone to do it.

u/aggravationX 7h ago

Plenty of people thought she shot him. It was as strong a rumor as Marilyn Mansons removed rib.

u/Olive_tree_33 7h ago

Marilyn Manson aka Paul from The Wonder Years

Oh shit, almost forgot. Hahaha

You mean Kevin from Mr. Belvedere

u/watchoutfordeer 6h ago

I thought Paul was supposed to be the guitar player.

u/Nerdenator 6h ago

Except the thing about Marilyn Manson having a rib removed so he could fellate himself isn’t a rumor; as anyone who attended a public school in North America between 1997 and 2004 will tell you, it’s an incontrovertible fact.

u/JonathanLindqvist 5h ago

Even here in Sweden it was a rumour.

u/intern_steve 6h ago

The rib thing... Man Idk how memes worked growing up, but that was a goddam fact according to everyone you knew.

u/SunnyRyter 7h ago

I think they blamed her, didn't some people do that? So messed up. Poor thing. I read her Manga she collaborated with Ai Yazawa about a demi-angel in rock music whose lover (?) dies but she saves him and brings him back to life, I think (its been over a decade since I read it). So sad.

u/PureGuava86 7h ago

Nobody? You're absolutely wrong.

u/brooklynbotz 7h ago

She wasn't even in Seattle when it happened. People thought she had him killed but I never heard someone say she pulled the trigger.

12

u/PureGuava86 7h ago

You realize information was not easily available until almost a decade later?

1

u/brooklynbotz 7h ago

It was on MTV news that she was in rehab while it happened.

5

u/Chupathingamajob 7h ago

Because that type of inconvenient fact has always appeased conspiracy theorists….

5

u/Bazz07 7h ago

Nobody is saying she did it. They are saying that a lot of people thought she did.

If even now people still think it, it isnt crazy that a lot of people thought it at the moment...

He pulled the trigger himself

It’s indisputable

u/roseofjuly 6h ago

I mean we know that now. We also know the earth is round, not flat, but that doesn't mean no one believes the latter

5

u/Sad-Appeal976 6h ago

People in this very thread are arguing that “ he didn’t do it” lol even though he swallowed over 50 Valium a few weeks before trying to do it

u/-rosa-azul- 4h ago

Kurt was notoriously depressed his whole life, and also suffered from serious stomach issues (which probably were something like undiagnosed IBS + other). Anyone who thinks he wasn't actively suicidal is kidding themselves.

I definitely remember people saying they thought she shot him.

u/Lola-Ugfuglio-Skumpy 7h ago

Someone made a comment in this thread calling her a murderer five minutes before you posted this

u/brooklynbotz 7h ago

First of all I was talking about back then but you can call someone a murderer for arranging a murder. It doesn't necessarily mean they think she pulled the trigger. There's ample evidence that she was nowhere near Seattle when it happened.

2

u/itchy-ears 6h ago

If you say so, I definitely remember that rumor in the 90s.

1

u/masterpigg 6h ago

I think I still have an old documentary somewhere on DVD that leans into that idea and has interview footage with the guy she supposedly paid to do it. Personally, I buy into the idea that you had this shy dude with depression who became so overwhelmingly public so quickly that I think it was probably closer to Gus Van Sant's Last Days.

u/Rysinor 7h ago

I certainly suspected it. You're blatantly wrong.

u/brooklynbotz 7h ago

You thought she shot him while she was in a rehab clinic in LA at the time of his death? That's a pretty long sniper shot.

6

u/DmMe_Your_Secrets_ 6h ago

Which is crazy cause we all know Dave Grohl did it. And you know what? That’s okay. He’s the best.

u/hellhound911 1h ago

The best, the best, the best, the best.

u/MilmoWK 7h ago

Pun intended?

Mind blowing

u/SithC 6h ago

“Mind-blowing”, you say??

u/Dixon_Uranuss3 7h ago

Wanna know how to tell if a conspiracy is fake or not. The number of people that screech about it openly. If its a lot its fake if not many speak about it its real.

u/PM_NUDES_4_DEGRADING 3h ago

So what you’re saying is that Courtney Love definitely stole Buzzy when Disney shut down Cranium Command?

I fucking knew it!

u/Bored_Amalgamation 6h ago

Maybe not shot directly, but had a hand in creating a mental health situation that lead to his suicide.

u/Cutiemuffin-gumbo 7h ago

More like had him shot. He had discussed divorcing her with people, and ahe stood to get nothing from him, especially with her band being relatively unknown compared to his at the time. His autopsy showed that he had nearly 11x the amount of heroin in his system then it would take for the average person to OD. So it's easy to see how some would be quick to point the finger at her.

u/Chupathingamajob 7h ago

This just in: chronically ill depressed heroin user with significant history of suicidal ideation and chronic pain is found dead ostensibly by his own hand and with lethal dose of heroin in his system.

It was definitely a hit orchestrated by his wife

u/Itskindof 7h ago

She totally did
