Michael Stipe, Melissa Auf de Maur to Host Courtney Love Tribute
Anyone else hear about this?
“Courtney’s legacy is vital to the voice of women in our culture. The passion she brings to her life and art fuels and inspires the long fought battle for the empowerment of alternative voices as they take center stage at last!,” - Auf der Maur It sounds like Melissa is doing her former frontwoman a solid and trying to make her relevant again. But it's a bit of a surprise to see Michael Stipe come out of the woodwork for this. And then you have Chloe Sevigny, the guy from the National, and that dude who plays Micro on The Punisher (huh?) for some reason. Gotta say, this is one weird bit of alternative rock news. I mean, Courtney is (or was) something of a rock icon. But I feel like she's tarnished her legacy to the point that she's kind of a joke now. I mean, she humped Billy's leg on stage a couple weeks ago. Anyway, what do the rest of you think of this? |

Courtney has been a thief and a cheat since at least 1988. Let's talk about Babes in Toyland, Bratmobile, L7, Bikini Kill or any other great band from that era instead.

Courtney Love is the opposite of feminism. What a load of crap. Drug addled social climber who leveraged her sexuality to get where she wanted. Such a role model for young girls.

This feels like a bizarro-world version of the above celebration in that now theres an Ex-Pumpkin and a bald guy paying tribute instead.
Will someone hump Courtney's leg? Time will tell! |

She deserves some of the bad press, sure, but every Hole album from the 90s deserves praise as well. Love her or hate her, she rocked 90s feminism. |

I like Hole and everything, but a feel as though there are a million better candidates for "inspirational women in rock music" than Courtney Love.

I don't even have any special antipathy for her or anything. It's just a weird choice.

Courtney Love is a mess who was destined to be a prostitute and lucked out by fucking rock stars and leeching off of them. She is trash.

Laughable at best. I’ve literally never seen anyone say that before. You’re entitled to your opinion of course. But Bleach is a classic from start to finish. Pretty On the Inside, a mere footnote. Also, there was a quite curious quantum leap in the songwriting on Live Through This that conincided with cohabitation with Kurt.

I'm willing to bet you have zero clue what any track on Pretty on the Inside sounds like. Pitting Nirvana against Hole in both band's entirety of course Nirvana is better. Their legacy makes Bleach classic. I assert my opinion as someone who has cultivated 20 year relationships with both albums. I'm willing to bet you know nothing of Pretty on the inside.

I own the cd. Do I need to post a pic of it on my shelf? It’s ok. It’s just not great in my opinion.

Didn’t Kurt and Billy write about 80% of Hole’s catalog?

You can tell while listening too. Live Through This has Kurt's influence, while Celebrity Skin is Billy.
