    Reminder that Tracy found Kurt unconscious with a syringe stuck in his arm and his use only escalated from that point on as well as his ecstasy use during their relationship... Too many clueless users pretending he would still be alive if he hadn't dumped her. He was on a mission to self destruct and he didn't listen to anyone.

    I was in Olympia and went to Evergreen at a time when Kurt was hanging around and Nirvana was playing dive bars and parties. They weren't even a thing in Seattle yet. The effect of Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill) on Kurt's trajectory is under-appreciated. She's the reason "Smells Like Teen Spirit" had that title.

      The book "Come as You are" (which was an authorized biography, from when Kurt was still alive) gives her a lot of credit, but uses the WORST pictures. I'm glad this shows her, properly, when she was young. Yes, a beauty. Kind of a Meg White vibe. Lucky guy for the time. Also, remember: Traci looks like this biologically. Courtney was ALL plastic surgery by the time they met. And even with Plastic surgery...not as pretty, lol.

    And Kurt left her high and dry. All the money he made that he didn’t even care about he could’ve gave her a couple of million. Or maybe just one million. In gratitude for her basically let him live rent free while he was getting his band off the ground. Kind of shows how selfish he could be. IMO

    Its so tragic that this relationship ended the way it did. Both people were wrong in this circumstance. Tracy should not have threatened to kick out Kurt and should have just talked about how she was feeling and communicate what she wanted from him (which was probably stability and support). As for Kurt, he should have been more considerate of Tracy and should have held up his role in the household. Should of, would of, could of, am I right?

    some minor bits are factually not correct,- ( like the reinserted black&white photo of Kurt with a woman in a concert audience while he blows smoke from a cigarette: as far as we know this photo is very often mistaken for being Kurt with Tracy but the woman in this one is somebody else of the Olympia and Seattle creative scene. Krist later separated from his wife, today is married to somebody else) - but we love you did this docu about Tracy Marander, we think she is the too often cut off the full picture while she backed Cobain up when he completed or even just wrote 80% of Nirvana's released music. Very good job. We thank you!

  • @RafaelSilva-od4bb

    Tracy was the real deal. As he became richer and weirder, Kurt fantasized about having a relationship like that of Sid and Nancy. Courtney just happened to fit in perfectly. Had he lived on after those turbulent years, they (Kurt-Courtney) wouldn't have lasted long as a couple.
