When your Nirvana is money

I hoped it would never happen. However, it should have been expected considering her wreckless history. Left to desperation, we find out what kind of people we really are and what we really value.
Courtney Love has decided to sell off Nirvana's songs to the marketing industry of america. Unfortunately, there is nothing the other former band members can do to stop it. They own very little of the rights to the music. I had to keep some quotes from the story to reflect on. Some things to remember when I see Nirvana's song on a fucking Pepsi commercial.

"We're going to remain very tasteful, and we're going to [retain] the spirit of Nirvana and take Nirvana places it's never been before," Love told the magazine.

"I took on a strategic partner, Larry Mestel, to help me comanage the estate because it was overwhelming," Love said. "The affairs of Nirvana are so massive and so huge, and they've all fallen on my lap.

"I own almost all of [the publishing]...and it proved to be too much for me. I needed a partner to take Kurt Cobain's songs and bring them into the future and into the next generation. And this guy's the guy to do it," she said.

"The appeal to me is that [Cobain was] one of the most important songwriters of his time," Mestel said. "Kurt was an incredible songwriter, and Courtney is an exceptionally talented person herself. So I felt the combination of Courtney's creativity and the things I can add can really help in creating more value for these copyrights."

Yes sir. We all know that's what it's about. It's about more value. More value indeed...
