Kurt Cobain's Own Private Idaho (Sat Nov 22, 2008 1:36pm ET)report post

Kurt Cobain's Own Private Idaho

Gus Van Sant wrote and directed My Own Private Idaho, and the original script had the main character as a narcoleptic teen street addict who worked as a gay hustler to survive the streets of Seattle/Portland, and had aspirations of becoming a rock star.
This fits the exact description of Kurt Cobain in the years prior to becoming famous.

interesting tidbits:
Gus Van Sant wrote and directed 'Last Days' , a film about the final hours of Kurt Cobain.

Van Sant's 'My Own Private Idaho' features a 'Brokeback Mountain' style campfire scene between Keanu Reaves and River Phoenix

River Phoenix and Kurt Cobain died within six months of each other, both of a heroin overdose.

Gus Van Sant wrote and directed 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues', a lesbian version of Brokeback Mountain.

Heath Ledger starred as a gay cowboy in Brokeback Mountain.

Peter Weller played the part of William S. Burroughs in 'Naked Lunch'

Peter Weller starred opposite Heath Ledger in 'The Order' .

Heath Ledger died, like Cobain , in his late twenties, alone, involving a drug overdose

Cobain and Phoenix both knew Michael Stipe and Gus Van Sant

Cobain did a free appearance for Gus Van Sant at the no on 9" gay pride fundraiser in Portland in opposition to legislation aimed at preventing public servants from using their platforms to promote homosexuality

Cobain dedicated a song at one of his concerts to River Phoenix

although ilegally ask a friend to download River's songs, and i like them so far.
there's something else i remembered he told me( in my dream):
'i'm sad, i'm in love'- he said..it sounds stupid maybe but i asked him who he was in love with, he didn't answered.. he just cried.
i don't kmow what that meant. maybe you people think i'm crazy but, as i said, every time i dream about him..he's sad.
and makes me feel sad too =(

"It's a great feeling to think that I can be a friend to so many people through my movies", said River who would receive around thirty-four thousand fan letters a week.

We(yes, there are MANY people) might feel an overwhelming connection to him & be greatly touched by him but that's all it is..however much you disagree it is NOT love.

You can only be in love with a person you really KNOW..not one of us knows river phoenix personally, we only know of the person through his work and the image portrayed as him.

And incase you need told; River phoenix doesn't know you at all!
Accept it.

You cannot say that you would if you could 'help him avoid drugs' etc..he lived a troubled life & has been quoted saying that he didn't like having that superstar image, he was a real person too & wanted to be treated like one.

He also stated that he tried to lie as much as possible in interviews, after all, who would know the difference?

Nobody knows what he really felt and thought except the man himself.

He lived his life the way he wanted to as best he could, he made his own decisions and one of them was drugs, for whatever reason, maybe it was to escape reality, maybe not..only he knew.

To be honest i don't believe he would care less about what we think of him, we are just other people living our own lives, whether we let river phoenix influence our lives is irrelevant..he will never know, he would more than likely be glad to have helped make the world a 'better place' (different people have different visions of the perfect world).

..but after all he'll never know & the only people that did actually know him are the only ones that can comment on their love for him.

Sorry, it seems sad to be doing this but i just wanted to express my opinions and show people that not everyone is as ignorant as some on here
