Book Giveaway:Cobain Unseen by Charles R. Cross

Cobain Unseen by Charles R. Cross

Thank You Brianne at Hachette Book Group for allowing me to host this giveaway.I will be giving away 5 copies of Cobain Unseen by Charles R. Cross.

An unparalleled look inside the brilliant mind of one of America's most revered rock legends, Cobain Unseen collects previously unseen artifacts and photographs from the estate's archives to form a fascinating portrait of the creativity, madness, and genius of Kurt Cobain. Personal items and photographs take readers deeper inside Cobain's life than they've ever been before, and interactive features, such as Kurt's handwritten sticker-sheet of Nirvana name tags, facsimiles of unseen journal pages, and gatefolds of his graffiti-embellished guitars make this an essential keepsake. An audio CD showcasing spoken-word material by Cobain, some of it never before released, will be included. Accompanying the previously unpublished images and memorabilia is a compelling biographical narrative by New York Times -bestselling author Charles R. Cross.

I just have to share this with you.I had a massive crush on Kurt Cobain for years.I dreamt of finding him.I just wanted to get to Seattle.He would fall madly in love with me as I was with him.I was going to show what real love was all about.He would then walk away from that horrible Courtney Love and be mine forever.Then he died...(I still want to see Seattle especially after Sleepless in Seattle-(which I hoped to be after meeting Kurt)and despite all the true crime books written by Ann Rule I am still willing to take my chances.)Anyway after an acceptable period of mourning I then developed a crush on Edward Norton (another seemingly tortured soul) and then shortly afterwards I hear Courtney Love is seeing him and my first thought was "Does this woman want to destroy every man I love?"

I truly truly adored Kurt Cobain.Life is so bearable when you can retreat into dreamland and I only wish with all my heart that celebrities would realise the impact they have on some of our lives before they take their own lives so lightly and irresponsibly.And Frances Bean looks exactly like her dad and I wonder about her and whether she's ok.

BTW Although Cobain's death was officially ruled a suicide, certain aspects about his death have led to speculation that he was murdered: - He had entirely too much heroin in his system at the time of his death to have been able to operate a shotgun. He would have been incapacitated within seconds of injecting it. - The so-called "suicide note" may have been a letter to his fans expressing his desire to quit both Nirvana and the music business altogether. - One of Cobain's credit cards was being used a few days before AND AFTER his death.

I have included some songs that might take some of my readers down memory lane.Listen to the words "I don't have a gun" and "Goodbye my friends,It's hard to die..".In my heart,he will live forever...
