This isn't like a bad thing, it's not like I don't like you or something, 'cause I do. I think your band is cool... but I swear to God, I'm only gonna tell you this one fucking time and I want a retraction. I just read um... 'Says'. I did not steal the dress from Babes In Toyland, I loaned my dress to Kat and she went to England wearing it to every fucking show. I stole that dress from Christina Amphlet way back in 1981... So, I mean this really needs to be cleared up, I swear to God I did not steal it from them. Fuck, what do you think me and that band are having a huge fight about? She stole my dress, so I had to switch to the white dress 'cause she pretty much pissed all over the first dress. So that's why I got annoyed about the white dress 'cause it took me about a year to figure out about the white dress. Yeah, so I just wanna clear that up, k? It's not a bad thing. It's not like I'm mad. I just wanna make sure that um... (coughes or something... some kinda scratchy noise) it's clear. Kat stole the dress. Alright, check you later. Good luck with everything. Alright...bye." * Thanks to Kevin. - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Awful' Courtney's said that the line 'He's drunk, he tastes like candy" in 'Awful' is about Gavin Rossdale in Bush, and that she first wanted it to be 'He's so icky', but Billy Corgan made her change it, and Gavin also had a say in it somehow. This is supported by Bush's official book "27th Letter", where it's written that the last couple of lines in the song "Insect Kin" ("It's all the pain in the way she talks, it's all the pain in the way she walks, it's all the pain in her wave goodbye, it's all the pain in the way she smiles, all the pain in her fatal charm, all the pain is in her arms") are about Courtney. - - - - - - - - - - - - - Songs About Hole Members: There are numerous songs that are about about, or that mention Courtney, and/or the other members of Hole, made by other people. Below are just a couple of them. The lyrics for most of the will be found in the Lyrics section.
Gavin Rossdale of Bush has been quoted saying the following, about the Bush song "Insect Kin": "All the pain in the way she walks/All the pain in her wave goodbye’ That stuff is totally about Courtney; I don’t mind saying that at all. It comes from when I was first friendly with her. I met her in Washington, where we both played a big radio show, and then when we went to Seattle to record a song for a film, we got apartments there and stayed for a few weeks. I rang up someone, a mutual friend, to get her number..... What did I learn from her? That it’s really good to soak up knowledge; that it’s good to strive to be erudite and articulate and culturally involved. It’s just like kindred spirits; I’ve always felt that with her. Which is what this song originially was called, ‘Insect Kindred’. People of the same silk.” - - - - - - - - - - - - - Courtney in Guiness Book Of Records: If you take a look in Guiness Book Of Records, you might find this little tibit: MOST SUCCESSFUL ROCK WIDOW Courtney Love, who married Kurt Cobain in 1992, is the most successful rock widow of the 1990s. After an early acting apperance in Alex Cox's Sid and Nancy (1986), Love achieved rock fame with her band Hole, whose second album coincided with Cobain's suicide in 1994. In 1996 she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in The People vs Larry Flynt. - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
