Courtney Love sold Nirvana rights for daughter’s future
Courtney Love has revealed she sold her stake in Nirvana’s music collection for $50million for her daughter with Kurt Cobain, Frances Bean Cobain.
She told Rolling Stone magazine recently that she was running out of money when she made the deal: “We were almost ready to apply for food stamps.”
“I sold 25 percent of the music to a guy named Larry Mestel who’s been great, f***ing great. Some of his ideas are a little cheesy. The last thing we want is ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ selling Coca Cola.”
“But if you look at my daughter - and that’s who that music is for, if it ends up having to f***ing be sugar water, that’s what it ends up having to be.”
“I pray to God it doesn’t, and I don’t think it’d be appropriate. But no one’s looking to sell Nirvana songs to Coca Cola, we’re looking to the opposite eco-friendly green cars, anti-Apartheid, you know all the things we value.”

I’m glad to see Courtney mature to a level of understanding that the future is just as important as the present for her daughter.

It`ll be interesting to see how quick courtney will go through that 50 million. 2 years ago she claimed “bad people and banks” wiped out her daughter`s 20 million dollar trust fund. Courtney chose to complain about the missing 20 million to the media, instead of calling police to investigate it, which most people would`ve done IF it had been actual fraud or embezzlement. Courtney also said in her new book she was given LSD when she was 4. It`s impossible to believe anything she says.

Chris, You sound like Courtney Love’s father.
I thought she sold her stock rather cheap but she explains that she was broke and has a daughter to feed. She was stock rich and cash poor.
I know you are thinking about Kurt topping Elvis but Elvis has been dead a really long time. Kurt may not last at number one top selling dead artist. He was not as popular or well known as Elvis either. In fact Nirvana is not really a main stream sort of band although we do get to hear it over and over again on the main stream radio that would not play his music when he was alive. I can wait to hear the music blaring for an ad now from my tv set. So everytime I hear the music I think about the product being sold.
We will see how much our money is depreciating when a new dead artist tops Kurt’s sale of Nirvana and so on and so on.
Did not know that she blew through her daughter’s 20 million dollar trust fund. You are right she will be broke in a just few years if she continues to spend like she likes too. She can at least repay the trust fund now and be left with thirty million. Smart Girl. Invest now. Do not spend.

As we get older we learn to let go and Let God, We realize the impotance of Our Children and Childrens Children. And those who have gone before us would Wish us the best in Our Journey because it sometimes isnt a bed of Rose petals, But of thorns. We do the best we can with what we have. What is wrong with that. Is’nt that true for ourselves. Sometimes we Survive and Sometimes we Live.
You have my support Courtney.
