message: I've changed the faintly silly sounding "She allegedly knew Kurt Cobain" to the more accurate "She was Kurt Cobain's girlfriend". Since I don't believe anyone involved (Lord herself, Courtney Love, or other Nirvana members) dispute this I don't see anything controversial about it, especially given that for better or worse it's probably what she's best known for.

replies: text: In my opinion, this whole discussion ist terrible (and I'd rather like to use a different word). Mary Lou Lord is a fine musician and certainly no groupie or such. Okay, Cobain and C. Love are famous tabloid figures (apart from being musicians as well), but it is NOT a prominent feature of Lord's life or work that she has either performed fellatio and Cobain or was his girlfriend (or both). The way the article looks now, this stuff is way too prominent! Also, it is placed in the wrong spot, since quite obviously the relationship with Cobain is not relevant to Lord's career. I propose to cut this stuff down to half its size and place it at the end of the article under "Trivia". Bernie, --82.135.81.147 23:42, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Kurt Cobain

message: It looks like something Mary Lou herself wrote about her relationship with Kurt and her wikipedia article is going around the blogs (). It incites people to edit her wiki page for her, so an eye should probably be kept on the article for the next while.
I reverted the deletion of the paragraph about her and Kurt, since no explanation was given. It was well-source and, as people have written above, it's a legitimate matter of historical interest, and probably what she's best known for (at least to a wide audience).

replies: text: That Lord claims to have had a brief romantic relationship with Cobain is easily sourced, and Courtney Love's description of said relationship as "she once gave Kurt a blow job and has built her career on it" is also easily citable. What one defines as a "romantic relationship" as opposed to "friends who had a sexual relationship on at least one occasion" is up for debate, but that both Lord and Love concur that there was at the minimum a one-night-stand between Lord and Cobain is clear. – iridescent 11:15, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  A "one night stand" may be quoted out of context and a reference to the more platonic one night stand of Sept 23, 1991? Again, this article infers a romantic relationship, and albeit their friendship had romantic overtones, but I have yet to see a direct quote from Lord claiming any relationship beyond friendship.

text:  That Love claimed there was a blow job involved is not a contentious fact. That that claim is based on any fact is in contention. Does this nasty rumor started by Love belong in a living person's Bio? This fact should only be brought in in context of Love and Lord's rivalry, as Lord said sarcastically in New Music, "She was the best publicist I ever had". The fact that Love made this claim may say more about her, that she may not know there are ways to a man's heart other than his penis. ThanAngell (talk) 00:42, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we may be saying the same thing in different ways. It's always going to be a tricky one to cover fairly; an article on MLL that omits the feud with CL entirely would be perverse, as it's undeniably a significant part of her biography and her (working) relationship with Cobain needs to be mentioned. Implying that CL is telling the truth implies that MLL is lying, and vice-versa, so whatever happens there's a BLP violation against someone. My personal preference would be an intentionally ambiguous wording like "[MLL & KC] had a relationship". – iridescent 14:09, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I reduced the size of the paragraph about Lord and Cobain; now it is more in line with the depth of detail in the rest of her bio. I think the issue could be a section or article to itself if anyone wants to go into great detail about it.ThanAngell (talk) 21:36, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
