Courtney Love

[Deleted]

Courtney may had their reconciliation in mind when she posted on her Facebook page yesterday: ''I think at nearly 50 the basis of any relationship should be restraint and pragmatism before the big dramatic tsunami -- shit I wish I knew this at 20, and to become best friends and to make sure your exes dont all hate you. its important to leave romances nicely -- and its 2014 so im letting alot of grudges just go, i dont have time . . . none of it matters -- thank you dave navvaroo [Dave Navarro] and peter mensch.''

Courtney - who has a 21-year-old daughter Frances Bean - believes by ridding herself of negative energy and hateful feelings next year will prove to be far more successful for her both financially and romantically. She added in her post: ''So to everyone take my advice, lose the grudges and grudge matches. First of all youll make a lot more money if that doesnt incentivise you, youll just be happier and get kissed more.''

Courtney Love without the grudges just isn't Courtney Love anymore. I don't think she's capable of existing without them.

But what about the 78 guitars Eric stole from her and the $298,000 he ran up on her credit card? I guess Courtney forgave him! Bless her heart.

Late to comment but as an old Nirvana fan, I'm happy they're in the RnR hall of fame. As a person who has suffered depression, I related to Cobain. He killed himself with both a heroin overdose and a shotgun blast to the face. Unlike most of us depressive types, he showed initiative and follow through. As a shallow person easily entertained, I'm looking forward to Courtney losing her shit.

I read Kennedy's memoir (MTV v-jay) a while ago and the chapters on Courtney are hysterical. Kennedy was friends with Trent Reznor back in 1994 when he had his ill-advised fling with Courtney. After Trent broke it off, Courtney was calling up Kennedy "like a crazed, caged rabid ferret" yelling about Trent's small penis, pleading with her/threatening her for information, and planting information she wanted to get back to Trent. There was something about Trent buying a house in New Orleans, and Courtney attempting to swoop in and buy the house with cash just to spite him.

Ginger, I'm so glad that you mentioned Kennedy's book. I checked it out of the library and am really enjoying it. Kennedy also mentions that Courtney had Kennedy's phone number, and gave it out at a concert so Kennedy had to change her number. Alos, Courtney was ranting about Trent R's allegedly small penis, and he gave her the only response she never expected - silence. No response at all.

Looks like I've got a book to add to my reading list.

My favorite from the book was the first time Kennedy met Courtney at the VMA's - Courtney said, "Let me fix your lipstick" and reached out with her "nubby hot dog fingers" and smeared Kennedy's lipstick all around her face. It was that dark red lipstick that doesn't really come off of skin and Kennedy had to be on camera. Such a randomly bitchy thing to do.

I was intrigued by mentions of Kennedy's memoir in this thread and did a Google search on it, and came across this anecdote about Love.

"She is like a money virus and will infect you and bleed you dry after you've given her too much personal information, and no reaction, word, or deed from Courtney Love should surprise anyone," she writes. "For someone as damaged and deranged as Courtney I marveled at how she really just wanted to be loved."

That link is from the "Today" show and has stories about other celebs, too.

There's a lot of good stuff in "Heavier than Heaven". The part where Krist Novoselic talks about the last time he saw Kurt is heartbreaking.

Yes, that kind of haunts me to this day. They were so, so close. And that's such a bad way to say goodbye.

I want to hear more about what Tobi Vail has to say about Kurt. She knew/dated him just as he was starting to slide into addiction. I've read the Everett True book. And you kind of have to admire her for not writing/talking about him. It would have been an easy check for her. I even read "Letters to Kurt" by Eric Erlandson a few months ago.

Gen X Nostalgia Buffs: Might I also recommend "Sound City" a doc film by Dave Grohl about the studio they recorded Nevermind in (and several other bands, like Fleetwood Mac used). It's an interesting perspective when they were just starting. And a really good movie to boot.

Me too. So far I've enjoyed the snippets I've read.

Just chiming in to second the "Sound City" recommendation. That was a great movie.
