Courtney Love is definitely the Yoko Ono of the 90s and don’t get me wrong, I love Hole (the girl band has been a primary influence on my wardrobe for years), but post-Kurt Courtney has got to go. I can deal with the drug use and Kaballah dappling, but I must vibe off Chris Crocker when I say “LEAVE NIRVANA ALONE!” This Courtney bashing stems from the Internet rumors about the alleged in-the-works Nirvana movie. Supposedly, vamp tramp Robert Pattison is dying to play the part of Kurt and Courtney has consented after months of email/telephone pestering from the heartthrob. This is just the latest offence in Court’s long-standing, negative influence on Nirvana. Even after years of contemplation, I have concluded that her only positive contribution was inspiring Kurt to write the rather degrading song “About A Girl.” If this movie ever gets made, I hope anyone who actually pays $10 to see it is haunted by the ghost of Kurt of the rest of his or her life. On that note, here’s a live recording of “About A Girl” from the latest Nirvana release, Live At Reading. The famous ’92 performance, the same one where a fresh-outa-rehab Kurt entered the stage in a wheelchair and a crazy wig, has been digitally re-mastered to pure perfection. It has officially replaced Neil Yong’s Live Rust as my favorite live album of all time—it’s that good.
