Watch out America, she’s clean and sober! 

Regardless of how you feel about the never-ending train wreck that is Courtney Love, I promise her Behind The Music is totally worth the two hours of your time. 

Speaking candidly about her messed-up childhood, custody battles, numerous stints in rehab, and what it felt like to be deemed Nirvana’s Yoko Ono, I couldn’t help but find her unnervingly captivating.  

Perhaps that’s because it was the first time I’ve heard Courtney talk without her slurring all her words or inexplicably flashing her genitals.  

It turns out, she’s quite a interesting gal. With VH1 having devoted a whole extra hour to her life, you’re guaranteed to learned a lot of things you never knew about her.  

Like that Courtney has a nose fetish, for instance. 

Right now she’s in the midst of a summer tour with 6 more U.S shows left.

So could it be that we’re in for a Courtney comeback?

 Depending on her sobriety, I think it’s very well possible. As a friend put it: “she’s like a cockroach.” 

The question is, is she a cockroach that you’re hoping will just go away at this point? 

 

Behind The Music: Courtney Love will be airing again on Vh1 tomorrow night @ 11 p.m. The full episode is also available online.

This was an amazing, must-see display of Courtney-ness. Set your DVR, skip the commercials and enjoy rock n roll.

Who cares! Once again more sensationalistic crap. If you want to know about famous female Rock & Roll junkies (who also made cool records) stick to Marianne Faithfull and Nico. Why doesn't lame ass MTV do one on a REAL female musician who started recording in the '90s like PJ Harvey or Lisa Germano?

I'll go you one better - once again, either American or British rock musicians. As if those are the only two countries that musicians come from. Yeesh.

That being said, I actually like early Hole stuff. Also, after seeing Kurt and Courtney, I officially feel sorry for her.

Um, excuse me, Michael, Courtney Love is a REAL female musician. I'm not even sure what that's suppose to mean. Just because PJ Harvey kicked ass doesn't mean Courtney didn't too. AND Courtney's life is interesting and sensational and that's why she has a large audience. She's an ENTERTAINER - get it?

Also, VH1 and MTV have never supported indie artists so I'm not really sure what that argument was all about. Moot point as far as I can see.
