Cobain is Newsweek cover star

Newsweek puts Kurt Cobain on its cover, serialising his diaries, which Hole's Eric Erlandson found and hid.

Kurt Cobain makes the cover of Newsweek this week – like The Observer over here the news magazine is serialising the Cobain diaries prior to their publication next month.

In their article about Cobain and his private writings they quote Hole member Eric Erlandson who found, and initially hid, the diaries. He writes in an introduction to the new book: "From day one I treated the whole situation the way I would have for any friend-keeping their stuff safe. But from a historical perspective, I treated it like I would have treated John Lennon's legacy. I guess I knew even then it was important."
