when their first album Bleach came out, they had two guitarists. Then, Jason Everman left to become Soundgarden's bass player. I got Kurt's number from Jonathan Poneman, one of the founders of Subpop records. I waited until about three in the afternoon to call Kurt because I figured rock stars slept in late. Well, I still woke him up. This was way before they were famous. I apologized for waking him but I told him that I knew they were minus a guitar player and I thought they were god... I asked him to call me if they auditioned for another guitar. He was very polite and said that they had decided to go as a trio but he took my number anyways and said he would let me know if they changed their minds. A few years later, Nevermind hit, they were a household name, and a few years after that, Kurt was dead. He was such a genius. And I think you are right. Courtney might have killed him. There was no reason for him to kill himself. He was looking forward to a new project with Michael Stipe (REM). Word is he was drawing too much attention to his heroin dealer with his OD a few weeks prior in Italy. Courtney just wanted his money and his unpublished songs some of which she tried to use with her band Hole until she got busted by the bass player Krist Novoselic.
