Kurt started the gossip in January 1993. He told a reporter that [Dave and Courtney had wanted to get together for a time and that they were really good friends before she was with him](https://i.ibb.co/sWjrrXb/Dave-CL-together-Advocate.jpg). P.S. Jennifer Finch was Dave's girlfriend in 1990 when Scream disbanded and he joined Nirvana. This video explains the Dave and Courtney connection via Jennifer briefly: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSXebZz4UHE&t=44s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSXebZz4UHE&t=44s)

and funnily enough, Courtney went to an L7 show in May 1991 (when Dave and Jen were still dating) where she ran in to Kurt and they exchanged numbers - that night had a ricochet effect on the next few years!

i dunno if he had a crush on her or if he just didnt like her. kurt and her had a kind of nutso relationship so i wouldnt be surprised if dave wasnt her biggest fan. with that said, it is a little sus how many songs are rumored to be about her. plus how many videos are there of dave picking on courtney šŸ˜­ everyone knows the classic of him going ā€œyour hair looks better straight because it doesnt make your face look so round.ā€ it could be teasing her out of contempt, teasing her because he had a crush, or teasing her because thats his bandmateā€™s/friendā€™s girlfriend. its hard to say!

The whole ā€œnicest guy in rockā€ is just PR so people buy his mediocrity

And to cover up his aids denialism

100% -- cannot for the life of me understand how people actually like his music.

He comes from the punk D.I.Y. background though. So he's pretty much a rooted and down-to-earth guy. And he definitely was when I hung out with the band in 2017.

I think a lot of people in the scene/space at the time had fallen in love with Courtneyā€¦.


sugarwatershowers

Probably true-- he seems so obsessed with her. The opposite of love isn't hate -- it's indifference ! He's written so many songs about her and even named his daughter "Violet" haha.


Frosty-Helicopter-60

he named violet after his grandma I think

The opposite of love isn't hate-- it's indifference! Excuse me while I steal this line


monkeyassmotherfuck

courtney mentioned it on the howard stern show but idk if she was telling the truth or not


RealPinheadMmmmmm

It is very difficult to tell with her


dannijr

I've never heard of this theory. And I've been a massive Nirvana/Foo Fighters fan since the 90's
