Courtney Love is a hot mess and, even though we won’t admit
it, America loves her. She is long passed her hey-day as the lead vocalist for Hole, and that is quite obvious in her appearance. But despite Love's addiction issues and horrid plastic surgery, she has a loud mouth and won't hesitate to speak
her mind, which I respect. And nothing was stopping her yesterday in regards to Lana Del Rey’s live cover of
Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box.” (click to listen)
Del Rey, who I have never even heard of until this story
went viral, is apparently a Kurt Cobain fan. She told a radio show last year
that when she heard her first Nirvana song, it “stopped me dead in my tracks.”
Courtney Love, Cobain’s widow, obviously had something to
say via twitter after Del Rey’s performance in Sydney last week.
Those tweets have since been deleted; also an “apology”
tweet has been issued and erased as well.
“You are gorgeous and very talented, it was all in good humor love, it is true however bwahaa xc”
Sorry Lana Del Rey, you’ve been owned.
“Heart Shaped Box,” one of my favorite Nirvana songs, is
from the band’s 1993 album In Utero. In a sense, I understand why Love felt the need to say something. After all, Cobain killed himself in 1994 after he feared he sold out and became too mainstream, amongst various other reasons. I'm sure Del Rey's cover is something he would not have been overly thrilled about.
Regardless, here are some other cool Nirvana songs, so make
sure you check them out!
"Come As You Are"
"Rape Me"
"The Man Who Sold the World"- originally by David Bowie but I love this version
"About a Girl"
"Lithium"
"Drain You"
"Aneurysm"
"All Apologies"
"In Bloom"
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" - Obviously
