Commencing the day with a long drive through the countryside, witnessing nature in all its morning glory as the sun splitting the cobalt summer sky, as deer were frolicking, birds were birding and badgers were spreading TB. Altogether, nothing could seemingly hamper this general air of clemency that resounded over the world on such a wondrous introduction to a new day.

It took all of five minutes on the internet to kill all that good feeling. As, upon catching up on what has been going on in the world over the last few days, it appears that Courtney Love has been burgled. This would not normally be anything that would propel me to the keyboard to eagerly share such information, but there is a sinister element to the tale which warrants a moment’s thought.

Someone has broken into Courtney Love’s house and stolen Kurt Cobain’s ashes. Which is about as ghoulish and unsettling as it gets. Whatever one’s opinion of Love may be, it is imperative to remember that this does not fall far short of grave-robbing. I don’t wish to appear overly melodramatic or sensationalist by that statement, merely that if the actual thought involved to steal the remains of another human being is pondered for even a brief second, surely it would become apparent that it’s not a very nice thing to do.

Clothes of Kurt’s and Jewellery of Courtney’s was also taken from her LA home. Love has said of the incident;

“They were all I had left of my husband. I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again.”

After Kurt’s death, a part of his ashes were spread near his Washington State home, another part at a Buddhist temple. Love kept the rest, along with a lock of his hair, also stolen with the ashes.

Hopefully, something incredibly unpleasant will befall the perpetrator of this extreme show of nastiness. Although, in keeping with the injustice of the world in which we live in, they’ll probably just sell the ashes for lots of money. With my faith in humanity destroyed another fraction, I’m closing the curtains and going back to bed.
