I know it's Courtney Love, but the song isn't half bad.

Copied from my site on December 17, 2003 / 18:29 EST.

I heard the new Courtney Love song this afternoon. It's called Mono and it's okay, but I prefer the new Courtney Love, Brody Dalle of The Distillers.

My relationship with Courtney Love throughout the years can best be described as tumultuous. When Live Through This from Hole came out, I fell in love with the entire record. It was awesome from track one to track twelve. When rumours circulated that Kurt Cobain was the true genius behind Live Through This, I dismissed them as such. I was such a big fan of Hole, I saw them at Edgefest '99, waiting though hours of steady rain on a cool day with absolutely no shelter to seek refuge under.

Then, through the years following the release of Celebrity Skin, I grew to despise her. I blame her lawsuit against remaining Nirvana members Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. The plan was for Novoselic and Grohl to release a Nirvana box set in the fall of 2001 and this box set was to have included "Your Know You're Right". To quote her lawsuit, "The parties have fundamentally different concepts of how to manage the musical and artistic legacy of Kurt Cobain, resulting in a stalemate of decision making that threatens existing recordings, has stopped new releases from the Nirvana catalog ... and prevented the creation of a movie about Kurt Cobain's life." The biggest losers were Nirvana fans like myself who would unanimously agree that the musical and artistic legacy of Nirvana is best handled by the surviving members of the band in question. I'm still waiting for that box set she single-handedly brought to a halt.

Now, when I come across a Hole song on the radio, I turn the station. I don't even like reading about her ongoing legal problems regarding possession of a controlled substance and custody of poor ol' Frances Bean.

So, I've heard Mono once and satisfied my slight curiosity. My boycott off all things Courtney continues. I'm no longer a fan.

I won the new Mono single while hanging out with friends in a lesbian bar. I still have no desire to even put it in my CD player. I'm just not interested anymore.

I can understand not liking Courtney as a "person", but to hate her music and yet praise The Distillers seems a little silly to me. There are many musicians who I am not crazy about personality-wise, but I can still recognize a good song when I hear it and Mono is definitely a good song.

Vanessa, what part of "subjective" don't you understand? Of course I can dislike a song because I dislike the singer. That's my right.

I, Mike Boon, hereby declare that I enjoy the latest cd by The Distillers while refusing to give Courtney Love's new single the time of day.

If that's silly then paint my nose red and call me Bozo the fuckin' clown.

Oh fuck off, Mike.

Oh, and of course I understand what "subjective" means, but I also know what "objective" means. I suppose I just choose to judge songs objectively and if you don't, then that is definitely your right. You just don't have to be such an asshole about it.

I've been called worse.

Whatever, Bozo.

Nobody calls me Bozo!!!!!

I'm so angry!!!!!

Arrrrggghhhhhhh!!!

I was merely referring to your earlier post. I would never actually use such a lame insult.

As a child, I was tormented by evil clowns. You've conjured up these horrible memories by calling me Bozo. I hope you sleep well tonight.

Knowing that, I'm sure I'll sleep like a baby.

When you start to shut yourself off to music based on previous conceptions, you start to out yourself as narrow-minded.

courtney love is a badass. i like how she doesnt give a fuck about what people think. the music video is awesome

This bitch killed Kurt Cobain!

you fools, vanessa your correct, how narrow minded to dismiss an artists music merely due to the fact that you dont like their personality. and for christs sake, if she killed kurt then shed have been locked away..shes not..get over it.

courtney love is one evil biatch. dont trust cops so much. they couldn't lock her away, shes way too famous. dont b so naive. but, yeah her track aint bad. not that i like the line, " oh god give me one more song so i can prove that i am so much better than him."- or something like that. i wonder who "him" is then... haha.
