Coming soon to a store near you: lunch boxes, key chains and action figures featuring the likeness of late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. The marketing blitz is the result of Courtney Love's recent decision to sign a licensing agreement with National Entertainment Collectibles Association. "Variety" has now officially named Cobain a 2007 Hot Property. When Love's deal was announced, her manager Peter Asher told "Forbes" magazine, quote, "We believe if we say yes to the right things, we can do both — make money and do the right thing for the (Nirvana) catalog."

        I feel for Courtney

        When she cleaned up she looked and sounded great

        And she is a fairly good actress

        I loved Sid & Nancy (Courtney was the friend)

        I dont believe Courtney was involved with Kurts death, I think he was severely depressed and was taking drugs to cope, then shot himself.

        I think his daughter is absolutely beautiful (Francis Bean)

          lunch boxes and keychains ?uhmm i have mixed feelings about this thing they are going to do in memory of him and the band , i feel mass marketing can somtimes cheapin the legacy of those who were great , but everyone does it i suppose . And as for courtney , she was hot back in the day , now she is realy just beat up and kinda sad looking everytime i see a pic from one of her court dates,

                lmao@Mark

                I havn't been able to find out what Courney's cut will be .. but I can imagine it would be better then fair ..I can't see her doing it otherwise

                And I agree X'er .. time hasn't done much to improve her... and since his death she has seen plenty of profit.. it's kind of funny to me how they even worded that .."We believe if we say yes to the right things, we can do both — make money and do the right thing for the (Nirvana) catalog." .. I bet the rest of the band had an opinion or two! ~goes off to search~~

                      AArgh! no, it was bad enough when the bugger was alive. But a gory back of the head lunch box print with the logo- Drugs fun eh?- Kurt Cobain, might not go down too badly.
