Courtney love who is

I had to go out of my way to impress him. All this would be perfect, except for the drugs. Twenty different sources throughout the record industry maintain that the Cobains have been heavily into heroin.

Earlier this year, Kurt told Rolling Stone that he was not taking heroin, but Courtney presents another, extremely disturbing picture. We got pills and then we went down to Alphabet City and Kurt wore a hat, I wore a hat, and we copped some dope. Then we got high and went to S. After that, I did heroin for a couple of months. Kurt was throwing up on people in the cab. They were both out of it. Courtney has a long history with drugs. After their New York binge, it was suggested to Courtney that she have an abortion.

She refused and, reportedly, had a battery of tests that indicated the fetus was fine. According to several sources, Courtney and Kurt went to separate detox hospitals in March. Whether or not they are using now is not clear. She is definite about one thing: she wants the baby. And so does Kurt. In the living room is a painting he made using the sonogram of the fetus as a centerpiece. I can have a nanny. But it was a bad time to get pregnant and that appealed to me.

He looks upset. They are both silent a few minutes. Kurt looks so tired he seems to be asleep with his eyes open. Courtney suggests they go out to buy cigarettes.

They are too busy shopping. Kurt is excited—this store, American Rag, which is huge and specializes in authentic vintage clothes mixed with clothes that are new but appear to be vintage, has an enormous collection of used jeans in very small sizes. He is making his way through the rack very, very slowly. He wore bikinis. Just a tacky thing. She gets impatient and heads off to inspect a rack of dresses. She is very specific about style. Her hair and makeup remain consistent: white skin, red lips, blond hair with black roots.

Courtney is extremely possessive about this style statement—she is currently in a war with her erstwhile friend Kat Bjelland because of a borrowed velvet dress. She even went after Kurt.

That was the last straw. Because I put up with the lyric stealing. And I put up with her going to England first in a dress that I loaned her. And so on. Not surprisingly, she also has a few concerns about Madonna. Nevertheless, Courtney is very serious about her vendettas. They have an equalizing effect: by trashing the likes of Madonna she becomes, in some twisted way, her peer.

Last night, I had a dream that I killed her. I was really happy. She is, instead, after a certain kind of acknowledgment.

Courtney wants her power known, and aside from the fact that everyone is stealing from her, she feels one of her main obstacles in this quest is the whole beauty thing. This delights her, and she takes her stack of dresses over to Kurt, who is still carefully looking at each pair of jeans. He seems in a trancelike state, and the salespeople, who all recognize him, keep their distance.

Kurt continues to move through the rack in slow motion. As he stares out the window, a large van pulls up and a guy in full heavy-metal gear gets out. He is wearing a Nirvana T-shirt. Commercial success in the alternative world ruins your credibility, and Kurt is deeply concerned with staying true to his vision. Love had smoked three packs a day for almost thirty years and had tried repeatedly to quit.

After switching to the electronic cigarette, she rapidly reduced her smoking to only half a pack a day, and hopes to eventually give up the habit altogether.

Subject of the song "Courtney Love" by Wesley Willis. But, I'm not interested in being the cheerleader. I'm not interested in being Gwen Stefani. She's the cheerleader, and I'm out in the smoker shed. And plenty of you are out there in the smoker shed too. When it comes to rock 'n' roll, it's just like high school" From an interview in the August Seventeen magazine.

Still bleaching my hair at If I write a song about being a teenage prostitute, that doesn't mean that I was a teenage prostitute, any more than it means Kurt raped Polly. Drugs have nothing to do with the creation of music. In fact, they are dumb and self indulgent. Kind of like sucking your thumb. I surrounded myself with women when I was growing up because I had this horrible psycho father. Now I'm trying to really appreciate and like men more.

I think Andy Kaufman is to comedy what The Velvet Underground was to music- it's like, 80 thousand records sold, but everybody who bought one started a band. You will be a floozy and a slattern. He will be virile and a ladies' man. You will be a freakshow, a retching wretch, a sloppy drunk. He will be charismatic, vainglorious, a ferocious drunk and Dionysian. You will be indiscriminate and desperate. He will be generous, tortured and driven.

I am just the classic person who wants to learn stuff. I want good tutors, and with Kurt I had the best. My daughter doesn't need to inherit a giant hefty bag full of flannel shirts A sweater, a guitar and the lyrics to 'Teen Spirit'--that's what my daughter gets. And the rest of it we'll just sell. But, you know, all good rock is easy. The riffs just came, and they were fresh from chords that I'd learned from [Billy] Corgan and Kurt [Cobain].

I wrote 'Doll Parts' in five minutes. There's a kind of appeal in vulnerability, and there's an appeal in sort of a quantum vulnerability, where you really are exposing something.

Finch went on to become the bassist in L7, another female-driven alternative rock group.

But soon Love was pushed out by Bjelland. In addition to music, Love tried acting. She caught the attention of film director Alex Cox in who decided to cast her in a small role in Sid and Nancy.

Sid and Nancy wasn't a success but Love persisted with her acting career with another of Cox's ventures, Straight To Hell , the following year, but this was even more of a flop. Living in Los Angeles, Love started to take music more seriously, learning to become a better guitar player.

She founded her own band, Hole, in with Eric Erlandson after he replied to an ad she placed for musicians. They then brought in Jill Emery on bass and Caroline Rue on drums.

Soon the group was making waves in the underground music scene with such singles as "Dicknail" and "Retard Girl. They later ran into each other at another show in Two months after the release of Nirvana's huge hit album, Nevermind , the couple started up a whirlwind romance. They were married on a Hawaii beach in February This was her second marriage, having been wed very briefly to James Moreland in In August , the couple welcomed their first and only child, daughter Frances Bean.

As the wife of an alternative rock icon, Love received a boost to her own music career, with major record labels suddenly began to take more serious notice of Love's work.

The couple soon found themselves in legal hot water. Love told Vanity Fair that she used heroin while unknowingly pregnant with Frances. The story touched off an official investigation by social services. But in the end, Love and Cobain retained custody of their daughter. Love's joint drug abuse with her husband began to accelerate at a rapid pace, culminating in the tragic events of April 5, Cobain, deeply depressed, committed suicide using a shotgun to his head.

His death was thought to be a suicide, and Love made the brave and public step of reading out the note he left behind to hoards of distressed fans at his memorial service a few days later.
