Courtney Love is a cold, warmed over hot mess and I just won't support her in any way. For the longest time, I assumed this was released in Kurt's aftermath as a marketing gimmick and shameless self-promotion pushed by Courtney Love. "Live Through This" ... ? C'mon. Of course it was. As much as I wanted to, it was really difficult to ignore this album. It was as if Kurt unalived himself, the king of grunge, and handed it to his wife to take the reins. Her exposure in Ppl vs. Larry Flynt, the awards and accolades for her performance that followed and all the hobnobbing that went along, getting away from CL was really difficult in the 90s. But she grew on me, I mean, I've heard this album many times and it's a great album. Recently, I finished Rebel Girl by Kathleen Hannah of Bikini Kill. The book spends a lot of time in Olympia during the 90s. It goes into some of her interactions with CL and even touched on Mary Lou Lord's. I also read Dave Grohl's Storyteller which also centers around the same time period and neither of these books paint a flattering portrait of CL. So, here it is. I'm not Jewish, but I am a kid of the 90's and Hole, Live Through This is my Kanye. So, reluctantly yes, this a great album. But enthusiastically, no. I will not support this.
