Courtney Love's new album is about Kurt
In my opinion - and actually, I think it's pretty obvious -
Courtney's solo debut "America's Sweetheart" feature Kurt A LOT... and not necessarily in a good light.

I've never given the "Courtney killed Kurt" stories any credit before, but this album made me think again. Pretty scary stuff. Interviews, Courtney has always expressed frustration that Nirvana got almost instant fame, where as her (arguably) more talented band Hole which she's spent years on, didn't.

In "Mono" she asks God to "give me one more song so I can prove to you that I'm so much better than HIM",
In response to Kurt's Teen Spirit, she announces "turn the lights back on, you may burn strong but you wont last long".

She goes on to sing menacingly "I slashed his tyres, I bled his brakes, It had to be done".

Now I don't know about you, but to me that's a straight out confession that she either 1.payed someone to kill him, or 2. intentionally drove him to suicide through emotional games..


Courtney references him in other songs too..
off the top of my head: "hello" is one, where in the chorus she mocks Teen Spirit again.....
"hello...hello...hello...hello....are you talking to me?"

No music review gave a mention to these OBVIOUS references.. why? Are the implications too strong?


Anyone feel the same out there?

My baby's dead
His heart went blind on me
My dress caught fire from one match that you gave me
And all thats left is your vail and the breath i got

And noone's coming

Ring around the rosie yeah
Addicted to all that @#%$
Pocket full of real estate

Baby fire Baby Fire Baby Fire Baby FIRE!

Almost Golden




Oh all the things
I'll never do to you
Oh honey do all the things
I'll never do to you

Sorry 'bout the fire
Sorry 'bout the torch
Sorry i had to have my revenge
Send it in a note
Suid you cannot go
Say you were sick, you cant get dressed
Come on be on fire
Come on be a liar
My dress is the prettiest
Cover me in burns
Everyone take a turn
I'm already humiliated

My oh my baby you do reflect the sun
My oh my baby you were almost golden
My oh my oh how you do reflect the sun
My oh my baby you were almost golden

Sorry 'bout the fire
Sorry 'bout the torch
Sorry i had to have my revenge
Send it in a note
Say you cannot come
Say you are still tied to the bed

When's he gonna come
When's he gonna spring
When's he gonna crawl out in public
When's he gonna come
screaming bombs away
When's he gonna kill me in this room

My oh my he's in his gloriousness
Watch him tear me down with such a vengeance
Hold on to me
Yeah baby hold hold on tight
Yeah well just see which one of us gets out alive

Oh honey do all the things I'd never do to you
Cover me in fire
Cover me in lies
Thats' just your entertainment
Sorry i'm upset
Walked a mile behind
I was stuck and you still in a daze

Mono


Hey yeah we had everything
Vinyl in mono
And we looked the other way man
We were so dumb
Is this the part in the book that you wrote
Where I gotta come and save the day
Did you miss me
Did you miss me

Well they say that rock is dead
And they're probably right
99 girls in the pit
Did it have to come to this

Oh god you owe me one more song
So i can prove to you that
I'm so much better than him
Oh god just gonna listen fast
Here comes the crash
We're gonna rise above
We're gotta smash it up
You won't abandon us again

Give us brilliant boys that we wanna @#%$ man
Full of ecstasy, hard drugs and bad luck
Yeah yeah yeah
Turn the lights back on
You burn so hard
But you won't burn long

Three chords in your pocket tonight
Are you, you the one
With the spark to bring my punk rock back
And i dont think so

Oh god i wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you're sorry again
Oh god you owe me one more song
So I could prove to you
That I'm so much better than them
Oh god I'd give you anything
To hear you say that I was right
And you were wrong
Oh god before i leave this life
Now enable us to love
A hook is never gonna come
Just give it back to me
Blow out all of the lights tonight

Two million miles down the PCH
(and now he's gone)
I slashed his tires, i bled his brakes
(it had to be done)
Their hand job lives were just too cruel
You merciless villlan
We drowned them all in their swimming pools
Run away run away run away yeah

Oh god i wanna hear you say
I wanna hear you say that you were wrong again
Oh god i wanna hear you say i wanna hear you say
That i am so much better than you
Oh god you owe us one more song
Get out my life, see this world as it really is
Is it just a sad side show
Can make a hooker cum
And enable us to love
I need one thing that's divine
Let me hear it tonight
Let me hear it tonight
I've got to hear it tonight
You're gonna let me hear the lost cord tonight, yeah
