Kurt Cobain: stuff on auction

Kurt Cobain

Garage sale at Kurt's. Courtney Love is selling stuff through an auction.

Late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's widow, singer and actress Courtney Love, plans to auction off most of Cobain's belongings, according to Spinner.com. Love told the web site, "I'm going to have a Christie's auction. (My house) is like a mausoleum. My daughter (Frances Bean Cobain) doesn't need to inherit a giant Hefty bag full of flannel fucking shirts. A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to '(Smells Like) Teen Spirit' -- that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just fucking sell." Love added that much of the money from the sale will go to charity.
