Courtney Love: Rock’s Coolest Blonde
01/05/2009

WTF?!?
By Fred Mills
There she is, gracing the cover of this month's Elle magazine (the UK edition, that is - cooler, and indeed, saner, heads prevailed in America, where Beyonce is the cover gal for the January issue), the little ol' rock chick next door, all grown up and dubbed "Rock's Coolest Blonde" by the editorial powers that be.
We'll leave all that to your own meditations. Hint: say ommmmmm first. Meanwhile, though, over the weekend an intriguing post was made to Courtney's MySpace blog, this time relatively coherent with, like, punctuation and stuff. Surprise: it was written by her MySpace Administrator (no name given). Apparently Courtney had previously indicated that Jan. 1 would see the release of her long-overdue, probably-no-longer-long-awaited new album, provisionally titled Nobody's Daughter - which, of course, is a no-show. So said Administrator decided to step in and do some damage control by ‘splaining what was up (or not) with the album. "Some of you guys have expressed your utmost disappointment and I don't blame you for feeling let down, some angry and sad," writes the Admin, referring to Courtney's legions of fans, adding, "The fact is, Courtney Love is a true artist, and as most true artist, the true artist simply communicates from within. That special place that Courtney holds so deep, especially for her fans is a really honest haven that exhibits skill, versatility, self-discipline, formal and conceptual rigor, and a commitment to excellence. A commitment to giving you guys the best she HAS and WILL give you."
Admin goes on to cite "paranormal technical issues" surrounding the studio that Courtney and her band were recording in, which if you parse the meaning of the term "paranormal" you'd have to conclude the damn place was haunted, additionally mentioning some "technical sound issues" and "fucked up" acoustics.
Well, that explains that.
Predictably, in the comments section of the blog posting, Courtney's legions
weighed in empathetically, clearly understanding the dilemma of a true artist.
One typical entry went, "I can wait for it! I know it's going to be awesome!"
while another read, "I mean i was so excited. but i will wait just like i have
been for five years. Because she is worth it and so is her record. Courtney you
are amazing and I will support [sic] you when nobody else does."
Yes, yes, she is amazing, isn't she! Rock's Coolest Blonde, in fact! You can read the full Admin post at the link above, or it's copied below, verbatim, for your edification....

nobody's daughter Hi guys, This is Courtney Love's Head Administrator of her Myspace and I wanted to address some of your questions regarding Courtney's album that was suppose to be released on Jan 1 on her CourtneyLove.com site. Courtney had shot that Elle cover a few months ago and YES she had scribbled, Jan 1st as the online release date. That was the plan, to give you guys a gift on the first day of the new years...but guess what kids, that obviously did not happen. Some of you guys have expressed your utmost disappointment and I don't blame you for feeling let down, some angry and sad, and as Courtney's Myspace administrator, I felt the need to come on and address the matter. The fact is, Courtney Love is a true artist, and as most true artist, the true artist simply communicates from within. That special place that Courtney holds so deep, especially for her fans is a really honest haven that exhibits skill, versatility, self-discipline, formal and conceptual rigor, and a commitment to excellence. A commitment to giving you guys the best she HAS and WILL give you.
