of building a home.

Check, check, check,

check, check, check, check.

Let's watch their sound check,

shall we?

Sure.

Maybe that will bug them

and they'll play really bad.

I don't have the answer.

So you're having a relationship

with the guitar player?

No?

I don't know what it was.

Honestly.

It's over?

I think, yeah.

What happened?

I don't care.

Dude, we're making a movie.

Wow, did you curl your hair?

- You don't like it?

- It's nicer when it's straight

because it doesn't make

your face look so round.

- Oh, my God!

- Uh...

Hello.

How is it onstage?

Is it... Is it clear onstage?

Now,

if she ever comes down now

If she ever comes down now

If she ever comes now

Now,

if she ever comes down now

If she ever comes down now

If she ever comes now

Oh, she looks so good

Oh, she's made out of wood

She seems so...

He was super cute,

but he carried himself like

someone who didn't know that.

And that was part of the charm.

He didn't know that he was a

better-looking guy than Brad Pitt.

We got on like a house

on f***in' fire.

One caveat...

I had already done heroin,

beat the thing,

had a rule, I loved it still,

but I didn't have

a fantasy that he had.

He had a fantasy.

His fantasy was

I'm going to get to $3 million,

and then I'm going

to be a junkie.

That was his...

Those are his words.

Come as you are

As you were

As I want you to be...

As a friend

As a friend

As a known enemy...

Take your time, hurry up

The choice is yours,

don't be late...

- There he is.

- He's against the wall.

Oh, my God!

He's totally trapped

back there.

Memoria...

Is it fun to be famous?

People who are really famous

end up total reclusives,

and then they

don't do anything.

That sucks.

And I swear that I don't have a gun

No, I don't have a gun

No, I don't have a gun

Go! Go! Go! Go...

...ria

Memoria

Memoria

Memoria

And I swear

that I don't have a gun

No, I don't have a gun

No, I don't have a gun

No, I don't have a gun.

Nirvana!

The money, the attention,

the hype, the hysteria...

Kurt Cobain,

an overnight spokesman

for many disaffected

young people...

...is spokesman for a generation.

For his generation,

he's the closest to having a John Lennon.

It's not my fault.

I never wanted the fame.

You suck!

Seattle's own Nirvana

finds itself

at the very top of

"Billboard's" pop albums chart

with its album "Nevermind,"

while guitarist Kurt Cobain

just got engaged

to Courtney Love,

front woman of an L.A.

band called Hole.

According to "Rolling Stone,"

Cobain fell ill with a stomach problem

during their tour

of four continents

and had to cancel a number

of dates in England.

There's been speculation

of summer tour plans,

but so far, only the next

Reading Festival in August.

Nirvana is now retreating

from doing interviews.

Whether it's a reaction

to "too much, too soon,"

the band would rather

their music speak for itself

than be knighted as spokesmen

for a generation.

Right after you

guys got married,

they were the biggest band

in the world,

and Kurt decided

to take six months off.

So, officially,

in the story that's out in the world,

he took six months off

of their touring schedule?

He could have toured the world at that

point and made a shitload of money.

Oh, I see.

To me,

it seemed like he wanted to stay

in an apartment with you

and do heroin.

Yeah, he wanted to stay in an

apartment and do heroin and paint.

And play his guitar.

That's what he wanted to do.

Hi.

Hi.

- This is our house.

- This is where we live.

I know it looks disgusting now,

but sometimes it's nice,

I mean after when I clean it,

'cause no one else

f***ing does.

Okay, this is the toilet.

This is, um...

- This is me.

- Hey.

- Hello.

- Do we have a turkey baster?

What?

Right. Why do you think

that everyone thinks

you're the good one

and I'm the bad one?

Because I know how

to "use my illusion."

Where are you going?

I'm going into my other room.

I paid for this.

Put on the "dancing

merry chimp"!

So is this the living room

that that guy described

in "Rolling Stone" magazine?

With nothing

but a Twin Reverb amp

- and teddy bears to keep him company.

- And the Cosmic Psychos.

The "Cosmo Psychos."

- There's Eric.

- The champ.

Hi, honey.

- Hi.

- I love you a lot. You are so cute.

- Here, Eric, you fill in for a while.

- Here.

This is the Kurt Cobain

action figure.

Secret coded message in his guitar.

Kurt, I think he looks

remarkably a lot like you.

- Look at that.

- That's a bachata.

And he's playing a...

What looks to be

a sort of Mosrite-y

vintage...

Come into the breakfast nook.

Are you filming us?

Mm-hmm.

She gives me everything

And tenderly

The kiss my lover brings

She brings to me

And I love her

Bright are the stars

that shine

Dark is the sky

I know this love of mine

Will never die

And I love her...

A love like ours

Will never die

As long as I hold you

near me...

Did you guys

want to have a baby?

Oh, God, yes.

Yes, we wanted to have a baby,

and I conceived Frances

in December.

So, I was pregnant

when I got married, yes.

We were all we had,

so making a family

as fast as possible

was, you know, important.

You know, so, I mean,

if I had had more time,

I'm telling you I'd have had

more kids with him.

Why do you feel so bad?

- Why?

Uh-huh.

Because I want to.

It's my fault.

All my fault.

- You're beautiful.

- I think you're really cute.

Thank you very much.

So do a lot of "Sassy" readers.

I married Bobby Sherman.

- Do you think they do this to me?

- What?

Do you think they do this to me

when they read "Sassy"?

Girls don't masturbate

over their teen idols.

They don't?

No, they make up much more

intricate schematic plans.

Girls are a lot more

complex than boys.

You don't know what girls

do to each other.

- Yes, I do.

- No, you don't.

- They're vicious.

- I mean, you can know about crafty girls all you want,

but I wouldn't

let you go on tour

with crafty girls

because f***in'...

It doesn't f***in' matter, man.

They... They...

They diss me.

They diss me all the time.

I'd be fat.

I can't... I know it's not

even like I can't trust you,

it's just you can't

trust men in general,

even if they're new men

and they're you.

And even if they're like you,

you still can't trust them.

I understand what you're trying to say,

but I don't agree.

- Just because you...

- I'm a new man. I'm a man for the '90s.

I'm Ward Cleaver.

And then, you being you,

you'd be all sensitive

and you'd go...

"How are we gonna

tell Courtney?"

Meanwhile, I've ruined my career,

I've ruined my life,

become the most hated woman in America,

because I'm 200 pounds.

- But you're already the most hated woman in America.

- What?

You and Roseanne Barr are tied for

being the most hated woman in America.

Okay, I married Bobby Sherman,

I'm the most hated...

Ruined my body,

not play the Reading Festival this year
