![]() If people want to question me and they want to question my authenticity, ‘why would I defend him in a way that makes him look better?’ They want to portray him in a way that makes him look worse. Well, there are some people out here who don’t believe that. My problem with the whole thing is that they decided to do a documentary and put it out there like it’s true. I take it that you were never asked to be a part of Montage Of Heck? What matters is what people believe.’ The ‘truth’ about situation has always been false. How is that my fault? How am I to blame for that? Like I said in my article: ‘Facts don’t make any difference. Download: Kurt Cobain, legendary lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of Nirvana, the flagship band. I just don’t understand how anybody could possibly defend her … if they want to defend her or take the side of the film maker, go ahead. If that makes them feel better, it’s fine by me. Do you feel better? Then everything she says is the golden rule. If they want to take her (Courtney Love’s) word for things, then go ahead. I think a lot of people tried to trick themselves into believing that everything - or a lot of what they’ve seen about Cobain from that movie - was going to be true because it was fully authorized and featured family members.Īlso Read High Notes: How I Learned To Play Straight After (Barely) Surviving the ‘90s and Its Drugged-out Retro Death Trip I don’t think that’s a good legacy for him to have out there … I know it’s not true. Would they feel better if Kurt Cobain did ‘fuck a fat retard.’ Do they feel better now? Do they feel better if he actually was suicidal? That makes you feel better? None of that’s true. ![]() If they want to argue and say that I’m wrong, then okay, I’ll play their game. I don’t understand how anyone could see it another way. When writing the review, how much of it was about standing up for a friend that isn’t around to defend himself? I never would’ve watched it otherwise.” Osborne also expands a bit further on his distrust of Courtney Love and how the filmmakers “decided to do a documentary and put everything out there like it’s true.” Here’s a choice snippet of the interview below, courtesy of Stereogum. The actor’s wife marked their 14th wedding anniversary by sharing a sweet video montage of their secret vow renewal ceremony.

Fans and those of the Nirvana generation will learn things about Cobain they never knew while those who have recently discovered the man and his music will know what makes him the lasting icon that. His death, at age 36 in 1981, does not dominate the movie, but Macdonald does a good job of getting that story laid out. That period comes to life, and the account of Marley's ascent, while familiar from such sagas, has its share of offbeat incidents. Especially interesting is the sketch of Bob Marley's youth, as a mixed-race-and thus socially ostracized-kid from the village of Nine Mile who began to put together a reggae sound with a group of like-minded musicians in Jamaica in the late '50s and early '60s. Working with official rights to the music and access to Marley's family and friends, Oscar-winning documentarian Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September) creates a thorough account that hits the major points, not stinting on some of the less admirable aspects of Marley's life (including his brood of children fathered with women other than his patient wife, Rita, whose presence indicates just how much she puts Marley's legacy above his personal infidelities). ![]() Bob Marley's musical (and cultural) shadow is so large that the man clearly needed an authoritative documentary portrait-and Marley steps in with all the right stuff to fill the role. ![]()
