Courtney Love-Cobain was interviewed by Jim DeRogatis and Bill Wyman on the rock talk show "Sound Opinions," which airs Sunday nights on WKQX-FM. ____________________________________________________________________________ Courtney's Commentary Courtney Love is known for her biting commentaries on everything from cheese to those people that are involved in her life. Here we see that she also has something to say about everyone in rock 'n' roll. Here are just some of her witticisms from an interview about her rock'n'roll peers: KURT COBAIN "I think that people have the right to know ...it offers him some sort of chance at dignity, so people don't think things that aren't true. Our lifestyle, our parenting, our daily rituals, his honesty, his integrity, his beauty, everything." EDDIE VEDDER "He tried to make friends with me. As Kurt would say, he's a good guy. A little savvy, a little calculating, more than people know. I should be nice to him by all rights, but I can't. It's dishonorable because Kurt hated him." TRENT REZNOR "He considers himself the biggest recording star since Elvis Presley. He's got the biggest ego, the biggest entourage, the most groupies. He's vile. He's P.T. Barnum...If his fans only knew what a Republican he is " BILLY CORGAN of the SMASHING PUMPKINS "He's helped me a lot, so I owe him. ...He always wanted to be a metal god... He's calling it 'The Wall' for Generation X. And I think he can pull it off." URGE OVERKILL "I was their tour manager for two days once. Their van broke down so I took care of them, and then I ran off with Billy Pumpkin." BILLIE JOE of GREEN DAY "He's going through the same thing Kurt was going through." VERUCA SALT "They're very business-oriented. I think that Nina has a lot of bile, and that bile might come out on the next record and it will be really great." LIZ PHAIR "I sometimes want to say a minorly mean thing about her, but I don't." band CATHERINE--has opened for Hole "I'm not gonna be mean about them. They're nice guys." editor, TINA BROWN former Vanity Fair editor "I have these dreams about running into Tina in a really big car." STEVE ALBINI "Steve Albini organizing the Newsweek conference in his house so he can get famous for not wanting to be famous is pretty gross. ...I can't listen to the Polly Harvey record because they're all songs about Steve." DAVE GROHL "There's not a lot of love lost between me and Dave. We don't hate each other because we can't hate each other. If we hate each other, it will be a disaster." Her publicist PAT KINGSLEY "I'm a charity case for her. She doesn't even charge me, she just wanted to see if she could do it. She [does publicity for] Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Roseanne and me." KIM DEAL "Very charming and sexy. She doesn't change her clothes a lot, but she's still sexy. She's the only girl who Kurt ever admitted having a crush on." JULIANA HATFIELD "I think he had this little thing for about five seconds for Juliana Hatfield. Juliana Hatfield had 'Juliana Hatfield-Cobain' written on her notebook during 'Bleach' era." YOKO ONO "I get worse press than her." What's Next for Hole? Everyone knows that directly ahead for Hole is Lollapalooza '95. But then what? "I want to make 'Led Zeppelin 2,' " she said. "Full-metal Courtney." Courtney says she want to work with the current producer of the next Smashing Pumpkins album, English producer Flood. "He understands the Alan Moulder part I want, the Neil Young 'Harvest' part I want, the Mazzy Star part I want and the gnarly 'Supernaut'/'Sweet Leaf' part," she said. That Vanity Fair Thing Three years after Vanity Fair 1, Courtney Love-Cobain admitted that she did use heroin while she was pregnant...to a point... "I did take heroin when I was pregnant in the very beginning of my pregnancy," she said. "I did, otherwise I could have sued the hell out of them." In a September, 1992 writer Lynn Hirschberg quoted anonymous "inside sources" who she said accused Love and Cobain of using heroin. The article was used then as evidence by Los Angeles County child-welfare officials who forced the couple to surrender custody of their infant daughter, Frances Bean. A month later they regained custody of the child still maintaining that the article was incorrect and the quotes had been fabricated. The magazine stood firmly by its story and its writer who claimed she had the tapes to prove everything. On the cover of Vanity Fair 2 (June 1995) Courtney appears as a vision of Renaissance holiness--the article never mentions the earlier controversy. She says she is still angry at Hirschberg for implying in the article that her drug use continued long after she says she stopped. "She was completely wrong," Love said. "She makes it seem like I was taking drugs into my second trimester." "I think it's [June 1995] a little redemption," she said. "Vanity Fair 1 ruined my life. Vanity Fair 2 made it chic not to ruin my life anymore." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
