true. Haven't you noticed that some of Courtney's better tunes come about because she's screwing some musician, like Kurt, Billy, Trent...


i really believe it.....i love 'live through this', but each hole record did sound almost like who she was hanging out with at the time.......

no way she became such a better songwriter from the first record (pink cover, name escapes me) to 'live thru this'......(live through this.....the title says it all.....kurt wrote a record for courthney that knew would sell and set her career up).......

celebrity skin has billy corgans handprints all over it....

as for her solo record, i dont know who she was leeching off at the time...i liked the single..the rest i found blah....


i have all sorts of conspiracy theories!!

I don't think so. She gets a lot of shit because in a world full of despicable people she manages to stand out as a truly despicable person.

And you may have forgotten, but Kurt was equally reviled as a bad parent - but he tends to escape criticism these days because of the convenient fact that HE'S DEAD.

I forgot, she does do a reasonable cover of 'credit in the straight world' by Young Marble Giants on that record, me favorite band in the world.

That's just it. Who's the worse parent? The whackjob mom or the dad who kills himself, knowing he'll be leaving his infant daughter with only the whackjob mom to take care of her?

At least Courtney stuck around to raise her somewhat.

Y'know, Kurt's answer to Live Through This was: I can't

This is an example of why it's not worth talking to young people.

Neither of them are/were ideal parents, one of them had a serious affective disorder compounded by heroin addiction while the other seems to be a borderline/narcisistic personality disorder with polydrug addiction. So, if anything goes wrong with the daughter, genetics are probably more culpable as she's the product of two really screwed up individuals.

At the end of the day, I don't really give a fuck if they were both real shitheads or not. I like the music Courtney's made.

Hello, nobody really knows what the fuck they were like as parents or as people apart from people close to them. Media crucifixion.

Time to pimp my guru Everett True's new book on Nirvana & i guess Courtney.
