Here's the
original version of a review by
Pete Townsend of
Kurt Cobain's 'Journals' that was
published in England's '
The Observer.' The most interesting thing to me is the Observer's editing. The Townsend site uses words like 'expurgated' and 'excised,' which makes it seem like 'Waif Me' all over again, but Townsend's citation at the end of his posting makes things clearer. 'Expurgate' makes the edits sound like something akin to censorship, but Pete's own words hardly bear that out. He refers to the editor as his 'old friend,' for Chrissake. Townsend sure doesn't like Kurt Cobain, though.
Surely the people from the Observer knew that when they hired him.
