Singer’s remains taken from Courtney Love’s home…now Courtney can’t sell them for profit.

According to reports Cobain’s remains - the location of which has previously been kept secret – were taken from the Los Angeles home of his widow Courtney Love.

The ashes were said to have been kept in a “pink teddy bear-shaped bag along with a lock of his hair.”
Can you imagine…”Hey Courtney, when I die can you make sure my remains are placed in a “pink teddy bear-shaped bag!”

“I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal. If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do.” Love, Courtney

If this was happening in my hood twenty two years ago, I would’ve been booty dancing to Pop Lock and Drop It and making Love in This Club at 8 years old. Fan Programs, aka Chris Thrash is the genius behind this work. He has a web page where you can bid on your favorite top 40 song to be played by Rock-afire Explosion!
