Blog Files Old Kurt-CobainThis morning I was reading the most recent issue of RollingStone Magazine and ran across quite the interesting statistic. Kurt Cobain has just surpassed Elvis Presley on Forbes Magazine’s ‘top-earning dead celebrities’ list. So although Cobain has been dead for 12 years, he made about $50 million in the past year. That is a pretty staggering statistic if you ask me. Supposedly he made so much in the past year because Courtney Love sold a 25% stake in Nirvana’s song catalog, and she has also been licensing Nirvana songs with the other (still living) band-mates. Look out for Nirvana tracks on shows like ‘CSI: Miami’ in the near future. Who knew Cobain had such a great estate planning strategy?

Look out for Nirvana tracks on shows like ‘Six Feet Under’

Er…so dead guy makes millions by selling songs by his defunct band to shows that aren’t on the air anymore? I want in on that.

Maybe.

Like I said before… Six Feet Under is no longer in production, so a Nirvana track will not be on the soundtrack. Fix your copy, and stop deleting comments.
