Anyone who was a ‘90s kid knows that in those days, Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain were the closest thing to a king and queen. Well, at least in the alternative rock world. For many people, Courtney and Kurt were the grunge version of John and Yoko, or better yet – the ‘90s version of Sid and Nancy.

According to one studio executive at the time (who has remained nameless), “[Courtney’s] going to be famous and [Kurt] already is, but unless something happens, they’re going to self-destruct. I know they’re both going to be big stars. I just don’t want to be a part of it.” let’s just call this guy a prophet, because it hit the nail on the head. Oh, they were stars all right. And self-destruction? Bingo.
This is the bizarre love story of two young rock star lovers who didn’t give a tiny rat’s a$$ about anything except each other… and music… and drugs.
