Courtney Love said this?????

[BERIGAN]

Well I'll be. Granted, it was back in 2000, but still, I wouldn't have thought she was this smart....

You think she wrote that speech all by her ownself?

Perhaps Kurt wrote it for her a few years back...

[clifford_thornton]

Well, she was smart enough to use Kurt for her own ascendancy, so why not?

Pretty interesting article; I'll delve into it more when I have time.

Probably had a speech writer. But who knows? Just before this article was published, she starred in a movie with Ben Affleck - 200 Cigarettes - so maybe his intelligence rubbed off on her.

Reminds me a bit about Steve Albini's rant from 1993. Albini, of course, produced Nirvana's In Utero

....not a big "Courtney" fan but many valid points.

m!

Maybe she did this BEFORE her drug use got out of hand. She may look the dumb blonde, but she may be a sharp cookie. She certainly makes a lot of valid points there and makes me respect Ani DiFranco even more for doing it herself.

Read this with care and consider the "choices" made by the band. The "record company" clearly has the upper hand but the band made a bunch of side deals and paid the price. They also decided to sign the contract.

I'm not sure what this has to do with anything, but she was really good in that movie where Woody Harrelson played Larry Flynt.
