They both had long issues with mental health and substance abuse. Seems like a big co incidence they both had been hard core addicts and depressed. Are you 100% Kurt killed himself? Because I always am and then I change my mind at least one reveal day a year. To me, his cause of death makes no sense as a murder. There were tons of opportunities to make it look like an accident, he even had heroin in his system. Why do it in a way that would raise more questions? Editing because I reread this and I think my point is unclear. If you wanted to kill him, just provide heroin. Then inject him with more while he’s passed out or unable to fight back. An accidental or purposeful overdose would have been entirely realistic given his state of mind. Why introduce the gun component and over-complicate things if you are trying to get away with murder?

This major wrestling promotion that's become the first to genuinely challenge the huge one everyone knows is hoping that one of its star talents can skate through an abuse accusation forgotten. He isn't the only one on their roster to get called out, but they already served up a foreign born wrestler who got wrapped up with a group of wrestlers from his country for something they did, as well as one that sounds foreign born but isn't, for saying he wanted to do the same thing the other did. With those two suspended as sacrificial lambs, the company is hoping people forget about the accusations against their hot young talent with a morbid gimmick and move on. The trick seems to be working. Oh, we should ask the same questions about their top ring announcer too.

I lean towards accidental overdose and stupid decisions for Cobain, but I could be convinced an "interested party" supplied enough drugs that an addict overdoses, intentionally or not, in basically any of these senarios, and the set up whatever then wanted.

But I swear once a year, a few people who watched a documentary or love Nirvana will give me some facts and I will be like hmmmm, ok, I can get down with a conspiracy theory.

August 4, 2020
One of the subjects of this story is a voice actor. He does commercials, live action and animated shows, and films. Those with ties to the voice actor industry consider him to be one of the best in the world but you’d probably have no idea who he is. You have most likely heard him somewhere and he can do anything from an authoritative voice to a lot of damn good impressions. This story is not about him.
Our voice actor was selected for work in a Super Bowl ad for a large corporation with a CEO who everybody knows. This CEO has a history of not always being nice and sometimes allows their ego to get the better of them. The voice actor was brought in to record dialogue for an ad campaign which the CEO approved of from the moment it was first presented and the CEO wanted to be there for the dialogue recording as it was to mimic a character from one of their favorite films.
The recording session was scheduled and the CEO came in with a full entourage while the voice actor just commuted in as usual. The CEO walked in and was in utter prima donna mode. Several people to attend to their every need, including one person to take instructions from the CEO and give those instructions to the director and the voice actor. If either the director or voice actor had a question for the CEO, they were to ask the member of the entourage who would then ask the CEO despite all three of them being in the same room and no more than 5-6 feet away from each other.
The actor did his work, the CEO gave some direction to the director (who had all but given up any semblance of directorial control) and the voice actor via the specified entourage person and it was declared to be good enough after an hour or two of recording. Pleased with the end result, the CEO told the entourage that all was good and to prepare to leave.
The voice actor was wrapping up and watched as the room cleared out of all but him, the director, and the CEO. The CEO then sheepishly walked up to the voice actor, shook his hand hurriedly, and then jammed their cell phone into the voice actor’s hand while asking something to the effect of “Um, hi. I was, um, wondering if you would, um, record my, um, voicemail greeting in, um, *character’s name’s* voice?”
The voice actor and director exchanged looks, both wondering just who the hell had taken over the body of the CEO as it didn’t at all seem like the same person they had shared the room with a minute earlier. Not knowing what to make of it, the voice actor agreed and did it all in one take. The CEO was happy, smiled and gave an enthusiastic handshake to both as they left the room with a giddy grin. The second the CEO got back to their entourage, the prima donna act started right back up again as if nothing had ever happened.

This is exactly why I agree with both of these cases. They both could easily have overdosed which no one would have looked at twice. The only reason we talk about either is we are all shocked it wasn’t an od.

He would sucker you in with the shows and the wholesome image, but it was the movies that he showed his true vision. He was A+ list and was a director and a head of a studio and a behind the scenes performer. With his television shows, he made parents feel it was safe to take kids to see his movies, even when they seemed like they might be too much. There is a prequel streaming right now of one of his biggest visions. He made a movie decades ago that encompassed everything he believed and always thought if he could get kids to watch it, that he could somehow control them. The movie was essentially about mind control, rituals and blood sacrifice disguised as a children's movie. He said he wanted to make those kinds of movies so kids would get used to those ideas and think of them as normal later in life.

I grew up watching both of those and never took away those themes. So if that was his intent, he failed. I would not find mind control or blood sacrifice remotely normal. Idk. Maybe I just don't want to think of Jim Henson as dark and sinister.

Is this where I share that my dad wouldn’t let me watch labyrinth as a kid? I always thought it was so weird because he didn’t really care about me watching a lot of other things but labyrinth was where he drew the line. Lol. I finally watched it a few years ago and I am still confused by it.

In the past I have written about this recently defunct department store. It was a glorious celebrity spotting site, a place where you could see them being themselves, and by that, I mean being snobbish and rude to people scurrying to help them. You could watch them eat and see who they were eating with. One of my favorite things to do though was watch who was buying gifts for someone and whether this was a new relationship, old relationship, or something that shouldn't ever be discovered. I have told you about the special dressing room that was used as a "thank you" spot for an expensive gift. It had a chaise lounge in it and was probably not something you would want any bit of your naked body to touch.
The list of young actresses who became A list or D list who have been on that lounge is too numerous to count. With the store closed though, where would the new spot be. Where is the new spot. Two department stores were fighting for the honor. Oh, they wouldn't say that out loud, but they were. Each day that lounge probably saw at least $100K in thank yous. That is $36M a year which wouldn't go to the other store. I'm not sure why they each couldn't have one. Anyway, the store that won might not be around forever, and they know that. They actually have mini bottles of champagne they offer for the thank you area and have tried to make it look more classy than what everyone was used to in the old place.
What I find remarkable is this old former A list mostly movie actor moved seamlessly from one store to the other bringing with him his string of "granddaughters." The B+ list actress who only works a movie franchise also made her way quickly to the new store. She has been known to get a little rough with girlfriends if they don't thank her correctly. One actress who is well beyond that in life, but does have a history with the other one, was trying on dresses. Suddenly the A+/A list actress sees a curtain being pulled open while the actress is looking in a mirror at the opposite end of the area. A couple staggers out and the actress sees a chaise lounge and said, "Awww, f**k no," and removed what she was wearing and walked out.
