“Basically I need the money. My daughter Frances was really, really confused about why her dad’s on every radio station in the world and why her mom sells a few records herself, and why we didn’t have enough money, really, for groceries.” – Courtney Love explains why she recently sold a share of Nirvana’s publishing.
Surely Frances Bean is old enough to receive her own copy of Steve Albini’s “Some Of Your Parents Are Already This Fucked”?
Speaking of bankruptcy (of the creative sort), I’d like to wish Ian McCulloch a very happy 47th birthday. Just because someone is on a creative losing streak that’s almost two decades long is no reason why they shouldn’t be allowed to celebrate their birthday.
Something tells me that Franny is already wise enough to the ways of the world to know where the grocery money really went.
Private school tuition? Charitable donations? Acting lessons?
Really, John, just what is it you’re trying to imply?
Am I risking a perma-ban if I utter that Electrafiction and McCulloch’s solo records were OK (much better than most post-Defreitas Bunnymen output)?
no ban, Skip. In fact, you’ve just won a subscription to The Big Takeover.
Yeah that’s pretty appropos, especially seeing Jack’s current top 10.
why we didn’t have enough money, really, for groceries.
i would’ve really liked to have been a fly on the wall when courts tried to explain to her daughter why the pantry is empty but the medicine chest is always full.
Interesting segue to Ian McCulloch after he was chased around by the li’l gothy Ms. Love through the 80’s. Mac should celebrate each birthday with joy, he very well could have hooked up with her and gotten offed too.
Brian,
surely you’re not suggested that Mr. Cobain’s untimely demise was in any way at the of his lovely wife?
We could ask El Duce to comment….but, strangely, he doesn’t seem to be accepting phone calls.
