Filmmaker A.J. Schnack, who usually blogs here, has launched a new blog devoted to his upcoming Kurt Cobain documentary, Kurt Cobain: About a Son. I found the above clip from the film on the new blog, but it's apparently been on YouTube for a while -- behold the 78 comments it's earned, which include such insights as "Courtney love is bitch. I hope she burns in hell." and "Kurt Cobain is alive, Gods never dies.."
It's frustrating to see that there's still so much anger and speculation surrounding interest Cobain's manner of death, because Schnack's film (which, in tone and content, is well represented by this clip) really has no interest in any of the conspiracy theories. Based on audio interviews conducted by journalist Michael Azerad for a circa 1993 book about Nirvana, it's a poetic and introspective portrait that does a lot to puncture the "Cobain was a God brought down by a harpie devil" myth that I'm sure most reasonable people grew tired of about ten years ago.
