NEW YORK -- The rumors that Courtney Love was going to sell the rights to the Nirvana songs have come true.

Rolling Stone has reported that Love sold 25 percent of the publishing catalog to Larry Mestel of Primary Wave Music Publishing.

Mestel is also the former chief operating officer of Virgin Records. Neither Love nor Mestel will name the dollar figure, but a source close to the deal said Mestel has likely paid more than $50 million for the rights.

Love said she took on Mestel as a strategic partner because managing Kurt Cobain's estate is overwhelming.

Mestel said Cobain was an incredible songwriter, and Love is a talented person herself, so he felt Love's creativity and the things he can add would make the songs more valuable.

The sale won't result in a song like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" ending up in a deodorant commercial. Both Love and Mestel said they're going to remain tasteful and stay true to Cobain.

Both Love and Mestel said they're going to remain tasteful and stay true to Cobain.
Courtney Love and tasteful should never be used in the same sentence... :silly:

The great lessson of Kurt Cobain's life is - be careful who you sleep with! Despite all his various issues, I firmly believe that, had Cobain not met and married Courtney Love, he would be here today and still rocking with all due hardness. A treacherous poisonous spouse will utterly destroy even the greatest of individuals.
