While reading this, I ask you to think about why you don't like Courtney Love. Is it because she has/had drug problems? Is it because she married Kurt Cobain and you really wanted to? Is it because she's not polite to everyone she meets?
Courtney is my favorite rock star, musician, singer/songwriter, artist of all time. She is a perfect example of sexism in the music industry and wonderful idol for young girls. Yes, Courtney is screwed up a bit, but she's done well for herself despite all the set backs she's had to endure. She was born to parents who didn't love each other and didn't really want her. She managed to take that anger and loneliness and successfully make a music career out of it.
Courtney and Hole evolved from the Riot Grrl movement. (Courtney is a former member of Babes in Toyland. She got kicked out.) She incorporated her feminist views into a band she made mainstream and brought a new way of thinking to many young girls and women with Hole's album, "Live Through This".
What I really admire about her is her inner strength. She goes about her business every day despite great opposition and tremendous roadblocks.
People hate Courtney Love. I mean, REALLY hate her. I think people hate her for the same reasons they hate Hillary Clinton. She's just another outspoken female doing a man's job, which is not acceptable in America.
Courtney is brash, unfeminine and unapologetic: 3 things I love. Hole is currently touring, and I am waiting rather impatiently for them to announce Chicago dates. She is a very talented musician and her lyrics are always empowering and personal.
