Courtney Love Plans "To Sue The Sh*t Out Of Activision" - Page 2
Love has her lawyer, Keith A. Finch on the case and he seems to think she indeed has a case.
Finch said,
"Activision was not given an unbridled right to use Kurt Cobain's name and likeness. As for Cobain, his journals suggest that he'd be less than pleased about a game that shows him belting out "You Give Love A Bad Name".
Writing about Bon Jovi in the late 1980's, he issued a one word review: Evil."
Well, I am not a fan of Bon Jovi myself, but I think the word evil to describe them is a bit silly and over the top. I am sure if Cobain was still alive today, I think his opinion would have matured a bit.
Besides, Nirvana was nothing to write home about. Nirvana themselves weren't some ultra fabulous band. They were nothing more than a 90's garage grunge band that literally "stepped in it". And don't even get me started on Love's band "Hole".
But hey, that's my taste. Obviously if Nirvana sold over twenty-five million albums in the US, and over fifty million worldwide, they were very much admired.
But why some people continue to think that Cobain was some sort of iconic rock God is beyond me. He was a junkie who had a very short career, a raspy nothing voice and he had an average band. He met Love in 1990, they got married in 1992, and Cobain shot himself in 1994. (supposed self inflicted gun shot wound)
Many people blame Love for Cobain's untimely demise. I guess we will never actually know the truth.
If you are driving around Aberdeen, Washington, you will see a sign which reads, "Welcome To Aberdeen Come As You Are", which was purchased by the Kurt Cobain Memorial Committee back in 2004 as a tribute to Cobain. If you are not famaliar with Nirvana's music... "Come As You Are" is of course one of their songs.
Let's also not forget that Love and Cobain had a daughter, Francis Bean. I am sure her life has been far from enchanted due to her father's death and her whacked out mother.
So back to the lawsuit...
Ms. Love is not a stranger to lawsuits by any means. That is, people suing HER of course.
She was recently sued this past May by American Express for not paying $350,000 in charges. (gee I thought my card was bad)
