"Even in this early stage of his career, Kurt had already begun the process of retelling his own story in a manner that formed a separate self," writes Cross as he carefully dispels some of Cobain's self-made myths, including claims of living under a bridge, "tales. It simply makes you want to be so sad") and malt liquor, punk rock–adorned angst to the tawdry details of his drug addiction. Instead, Cobain's story, culled from more than 400 interviews with friends, family and colleagues and exclusive access to Cobain's unpublished diaries, sounds wholly ordinary, from boilerplate adolescent bitterness about his parents' divorce ("I hate Mom, I hate Dad. ![]() Unfortunately, Cross, former editor of the Rocket, a Northwestern music and entertainment weekly, never proves his claim. ![]() "And there had never quite been a rock star like Kurt Cobain," Cross eulogizes in this celebrity biography. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Phantom Load by lovesrain44![]() ![]() ![]() This story is set in the present day and in the past.

Miss Cornelia shook her head over them several times as she walked briskly along. For one thing, there was a new family in the manse.

My only minor criticism is the narrator, who does a good enough job with the reading itself, but I found he just didn?t have the type of voice I would have expected for the main character. Sound familiar? Well here is one of the originals and its hasn?t dated a bit. Where men lived by a simpler and more honorable code. A world where modern day weapons and technology are banned. In fact, listening to it now, I can?t help but wonder how much of today?s accepted Sci-Fi lore can be attributed to early works such as this. As expected, I enjoyed it immensely, having lost none of its original appeal. Having discovered this series back in the late 70's, I was delighted to see it listed on Audible. ![]() ![]() ![]() We typically ship within 1-2 business days (excluding weekends & holidays) from when your payment clears then expect your order to arrive in 2-14 business day. ![]() General Shipping Terms Returns About Us FREE SHIPPING PLUS FREE RETURNS* Ships in 1-2 Business Days We care as much about your item as you do which is why each item is carefully packaged to ensure a safe delivery.
